The prime event will air quarterly on NBC and Peacock, as part of WWE’s new, five-year domestic media rights partnership with NBCUniversal, which kicked off this month with SmackDown on USA Network. SmackDown previously aired on Fox.
Saturday Night’s Main Event originally premiered on NBC in May of 1985.
