WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event will air live on NBC and simulcast on Peacock on December 14th at 8 p.m. ET from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island, N.Y.
As previously reported by WrestleVotes, WWE is planning to hold the second edition of the quarterly special on January 25th. A location or venue has yet to be determined. This will be a quick turnaround for the NBC special and will take place a week prior to the Royal Rumble PLE.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that WWE didn’t call for the quick turnaround. Instead, NBCU decides when the quarterly specials will take place.
Meltzer said, “Yeah, it’d be January 25. So that date’s been out there for a while, but, you know, WWE did confirm it to me. So yeah, that’s the date. It’s the Saturday before the Royal Rumble. So they’re going to be doing Saturday Night’s Main Events from 8 to 10 on NBC. And it’s going to be four times a year, which was from the original release. And I guess the idea is one every quarter at some point during a three-month period. So that’s the date NBC wanted. And, you know, people are going like, Why would you do it right before, you know, have to promote that and the Royal Rumble at the same time? And it’s like the deal is that when they get the date from NBC, that is the date they run. They do not run NBC. NBC is the one who makes the choice. They’re the higher power in this, in this one.”
