The plan includes five special Saturday Nights Main Event-style shows between now and the end of 2025, solidifying its place alongside heavy hitters like Elimination Chamber as essential stops on the road to WrestleMania.
For those who remember, Saturday Nights Main Event originally aired as a trailblazing replacement for Saturday Night Live, running 29 times in its heyday and playing a huge role in WWEs national boom during the Rock n Wrestling era. Now, WWE aims to revive that magic with a modern twist under its new partnership with NBC.
