It’s back like it never left in the first place. The WWE will inject some very real nostalgia into the spinal fluid of professional wrestling fans when it unleashes its new plan with NBC and Peacock this winter — namely the return of Saturday Night’s Main Event.

If you don’t know what this is, reevaluate your wrestling fandom, and pronto.

And the move is now made official by a press release from WWE, including the date you can expect the latest iteration of the show to debut.

You can also take a look at the trailer below.

WWE, part of TKO Group Holdings, and NBC announce the return of the iconic Saturday Night’s Main Event, which will air live on Saturday, December 14 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and simulcast on Peacock. The special will be held at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island, N.Y., the site of the first-ever Saturday Night’s Main Event.

This marks the first primetime special, which will air quarterly on NBC and Peacock, as part of WWE’s new, five-year domestic media rights partnership with NBCUniversal, which officially kicked off last Friday with SmackDown on USA Network.

Originally, SNME made its debut on, you guessed it, NBC, back in 1985 and became a staple of episodic wrestling that helped burn a path for what would later see the birth of Monday Night RAW, NXT, SmackDown and the entire AEW TV schedule, as well as the greatness that was WCW Nitro (as it was later named).

The NBC/Peacock partnership has been massively successful for WWE, from PLEs to documentaries, and dropping SNME back into the mix can only take it to another level.
