Backstage News and Notes for Saturday Night’s Main Event on 12/14 – WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event is set to make its highly anticipated return on December 14, live from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Long Island, New York. This marks a nostalgic full-circle moment, as the venue also hosted the inaugural episode of the show in May 1985. The broadcast will air live at 8/7c on NBC and will also be simulcast on Peacock, making it the first of WWE’s new quarterly primetime specials under their five-year domestic media rights deal with NBCUniversal.
The December 14 show already boasts an impressive lineup. Cody Rhodes will defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens in the main event. WWE has also confirmed the crowning of the first-ever WWE Women’s United States Champion during the broadcast, with speculation growing that another major title bout could be added. There’s even been talk about whether the inaugural WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion will be crowned, though this remains unconfirmed.
To honor the legacy of Saturday Night’s Main Event, WWE plans to infuse the show with a nostalgic “old-school feel.” Fans can expect retro-inspired production elements, including graphics, music, and presentation style. Adding to the nostalgia, WWE Hall of Famers Jesse Ventura and Jimmy Hart, both integral to the show’s original run in the 1980s, are set to appear. Ventura will return to commentary, while Hart is scheduled to contribute in his signature “Mouth of the South” fashion.
Local advertisements for the event highlight appearances by Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Liv Morgan, and Bianca Belair, ensuring a star-studded night. WWE is pulling out all the stops to make this revival a memorable blend of history and high-stakes action. Stay tuned for live coverage on December 14 as this iconic event returns to primetime.
