WWE to Air Live Primetime Special on NBC for the First Time in Over 15 Years

WWE is gearing up for its return to NBC primetime with a live special, marking the first time since August 2008 that WWE will air a primetime special on NBC. This follows the announcement of WWE’s five-year deal with NBCU, which includes not only the return of SmackDown to the USA Network but also the production of four primetime specials annually on NBC.

According to WrestleVotes, WWE is set to announce the details of this live primetime special in the coming days. While the location is still unknown, sources suggest that tickets for the event will go on sale next Friday, with some speculation pointing to a Saturday night in December for the broadcast.

If WWE continues its tradition, there is a possibility the event could fall under the Saturday Night’s Main Event banner, a name synonymous with WWE’s primetime specials on NBC over the years. WWE has also aired Tribute to the Troops specials on NBC in the past, so there is plenty of anticipation as fans await further announcements.

With WWE’s successful history of primetime specials, this could be another major moment in their expanding relationship with NBCU, especially as the company continues its transition back to NBC’s platforms.
