WWE has officially announced the return of Saturday Night’s Main Event for this December in Long Island, New York.

It was recently reported by WrestleVotes that WWE was looking to bring back Saturday Night’s Main Event in December as a television special on NBC.
Today, Variety officially confirmed that the event would return, taking place on December 14 in the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Long Island, New York.

Per Variety:
WWE‘s iconic series “Saturday Night’s Main Event” has set its return premiere date at NBC.
Variety has learned that the pro wrestling series will air live on NBC and simulcast on Peacock on Dec. 14 at 8 p.m. ET. It will originate from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island, N.Y., the site of the first-ever “Saturday Night’s Main Event” back in 1985.

WWE has also released the first promo video for the show, which can be seen below.
Presale for the event begins Sept. 19 at 10 a.m. ET. Fans can register to receive an exclusive presale offering now by visiting WWE’s website.

Tickets will go on sale Sept. 20 at 10 a.m. ET via Ticketmaster. Priority Passes are available now through WWE’s partnership with On Location. The passes offer things like premium seating, hospitality events with WWE stars, exclusive photo opps, and more.
This will be the first of four quarterly WWE primetime specials for NBC, which were first revealed when WWE signed a new five-year rights deal with NBCUniversal that saw WWE’s weekly “SmackDown” series move back to USA Network. “SmackDown” had been airing on Fox since 2019, but made its USA Network return on Sept. 13. Peacock also continues to be the live streaming home of WWE’s premium live events in the U.S., including upcoming events like “Bad Blood” and “Crown Jewel.”
“Saturday Night’s Main Event” originally aired in a late-night timeslot on NBC on weeks when “Saturday Night Live” did not have new episodes. It aired nearly 30 episodes on the broadcast network between 1985 and 1991. The show then aired two more episodes on Fox in 1992. It was previously revived at NBC for five more episodes between 2006 and 2008.
