WWE will host another edition of Saturday Nights Main Event just a week before the 2025 Royal Rumble premium live event. After reports previously hinted about two WWE Specials starting from the last week of January, the confirmation came through another report from Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
WrestleVotes previously suggested that the second edition of Saturday Nights Main Event is set to air on January 25. Interestingly, the schedule falls in a way as the show will take place just around a week before WWE’s annual Royal Rumble, making it a must-watch for professional wrestling fans as they brace the road to WrestleMania season.

In an update, Dave Meltzer of F4Wonline further noted that Saturday Nights Main Event will return on Saturday, January 25, 2025, the week before the Royal Rumble on Saturday, February 1, 2025, in Indianapolis, Indiana.
“It will be January 25. That date has been out there for a while, but WWE did confirm it to me,” Meltzer stated regarding the second Saturday Nights Main Event being so close to Royal Rumble.
“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 are the higher power in this one.”
