In August 2020, WWE filed a trademark extension on the name “Saturday Night’s Main Event,” which was believed just to be to keep it from others’ hands. However, now it has been revealed that the company is bringing the name back for a series of what appear to be house shows. So far, their April 23rd event in Montgomery, Alabama, and April 30th show in Lakeland, Florida, are the only ones announced, with Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins being used on separate promotional graphics.
For those unaware, Saturday Night’s Main Event was a big WWE show which initially ran from 1985 to 1992 and returned for five shows between 2006 and 2008. Its introduction was due to high ratings that two WWF specials drew on MTV in 1984–85, which caught NBC’s attention. Highlights of past broadcasts include a rematch from WrestleMania III of Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant, resulting in the WWF title being vacated. Plus, a massive Hogan and Randy Savage vs. The Big Boss Man and Akeem tag match, which led to the Mega Powers breaking up.
