ESPN and WWE are about to get each other in tighter holds.

Under a new five-year deal, ESPN’s soon-to-launch streaming outlet will, starting in 2026, become the exclusive U.S. home of all of the WWE’s top live events, including “WrestleMania,” “SummerSlam,” “Royal Rumble” and “Survivor Series.” WWE will continue to produce all the events, which have in recent years been shown via NBCUniversal’s Peacock. ESPN will also have the option to stream pre- and post- shows tied to the events — 10 in all. The events may also be simulcast on certain linear ESPN venues.

WWE events are “an extremely popular form of entertainment, and have stood the test of time,” says Jimmy Pitaro, chairman of ESPN, in a recent interview. ESPN always wants to expand its audience, he says, “and WWE is going to help us get younger. It’s going to help us get more diverse. It...

WWE’s ‘Saturday Night’s Main Event’ Returns To 2.3M Viewers On NBC
Image
Saturday Night’s Main Event returned to strong audience ratings over the weekend.

The WWE’s two-hour showdown brought in 2.3M viewers on NBC and Peacock. As expected, a majority of the audience came from the broadcaster, while about 700,000 tuned in via streaming.

This is the first Saturday Night’s Main Event since 2008, when 2.4M tuned in on NBC. The iconic event originally premiered in May of 1985 and, although it went on a bit of a hiatus over the past 16 years, it seems that it’s still a highly anticipated event for the WWE.

For comparison purposes, ABC’s showing of the NBA Cup game between the Houston Rockets and the Oklahoma City Thunder drew 1.89M viewers.

Taking it back to where it all started, this year’s Saturday Night’s Main Event took place at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island — the site of the very first event.
