Anticipations are big around WWE’s Saturday Nights Main Event as it returns next month for the first time since the Ruthless Aggression Era. Reports are already there regarding WWE possibly increasing this particular show in the calendar in a quarterly phase. There could be instances that we end up receiving two separate such shows before Wrestlemania 41 in April of next year.
For the time being, a new update has become viral from WrestleVotes which suggests that the second edition of Saturday Nights Main Event is set to air on January 25. Interestingly, the schedule suggests that it 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.
Given the prior reports that Saturday Nights Main Event will also be having PLE-quality card, this would be a firm move on WWE’s part to book the second edition after returning just before the annual Royal Rumble PLE.
“Sources indicate NBC’s second episode of Saturday Night’s Main Event is set for January 25th, with the location still TBD. A bold scheduling move, as it lands just one week before the Royal Rumble,” WrestleVotes reported on Twitter regarding the second edition of Saturday Nights Main Event following its return to the scene in December.
