WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event is set to return, airing live on NBC and simulcast on Peacock on December 14 at 8 p.m. ET from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island, N.Y. WWE announced today via email that additional tickets for the event have been released, stating, “We’re bringing that old school look and feel to Nassau Coliseum on December 14 for the return of Saturday Night’s Main Event!“
According to PWInsider.com, WWE plans to fully embrace the classic style beyond just promotional hype. The broadcast presentation and the arena itself will reflect this retro theme, aiming to recreate the vibe of the original Saturday Night’s Main Event era. For instance, the event will feature full arena seating rather than closing off a portion of the venue for Titantron staging, as typically seen in Raw and SmackDown tapings.
In a recent Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that the main event matchups are expected to include Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens and World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER vs. Damian Priest.
Ticket demand for the event has been high. WrestleTix recently reported that WWE had distributed 10,259 tickets, with 817 tickets remaining for a setup capacity of 11,076 seats. Over 300 tickets were sold in the last week alone.
