WWE Moves Main Event to Rumble in Strategy Targeting AEW Dynamite

WWE’s weekly series Main Event will move from YouTube to Rumble beginning Oct. 14, streaming Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Rumble’s website and mobile and TV apps. The program features wrestlers from Raw, SmackDown and NXT, and has previously aired on platforms including Ion Television, Hulu, WWE Network and Peacock. WWE and Rumble described the partnership as a way to broaden the show’s digital reach and expand Rumble’s sports programming.
The Wednesday 8 p.m. ET slot will put Main Event head-to-head with AEW Dynamite on TBS.
WWE says Main Event features matches held weekly ahead of Raw and SmackDown, at venues around the world.
The WWE–Rumble deal is described as a long-term distribution and content partnership, rather than simply a change in where episodes stream.
Main Event has featured major WWE stars including Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Charlotte Flair, Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes.
