WWE Main Event moving to Rumble in October

One of WWE’s longer running in-ring shows has found a new streaming home.

Variety (later confirmed by WWE) announced that WWE Main Event will be moving to streaming service Rumble, starting October 14th. According to the announcement, this is part of a “long-term distribution and content partnership” between WWE and Rumble. With the move, the show will move from Thursday nights to Wednesday nights at 8 PM EST/5 PM PT/1 AM BST, competing with WWE Evolve on Tubi/YouTube and AEW Dynamite on TBS/HBO Max/MyAEW.

This finishes a nine-month run of WWE Main Event on YouTube in the United States, after the show left Peacock at the end of 2025. Internationally, Main Event has been available on YouTube since April 2025, following the end of its run on the legacy WWE Network in international markets. The last episode of WWE Main Event on YouTube is slated for October 8th.

The current format of Main Event primarily consists of matches taped ahead of Raw and SmackDown. Episodes generally feature multiple matches, although the number can vary. The show has featured wrestlers from across WWE, including Raw, SmackDown, NXT, AAA and Evolve, with the specific participants and matchups varying from episode to episode.

Rumble is an alternative video-sharing and livestreaming platform that hosts a wide range of content, including news, politics, podcasts, sports, gaming and entertainment, and is broadly accessible internationally (except for Brazil, China, Crimea, France, Indonesia, North Korea and Russia). The site was founded in 2013 and became particularly associated with conservative, far-right and conspiracy-oriented creators after experiencing significant growth in 2020 and 2021. Rumble also received investment in 2021 from Narya Capital, a venture capital firm co-founded by then-investor and future Vice President JD Vance.

Coverage of WWE Main Event will remain unchanged, with the upcoming events page still listing matches and the livestream link when applicable, while special episodes will continue to receive their own coverage on this site. The Rumble channel of WWE is available by clicking here.
