According to a report from Wrestlevotes, per internal speculation, WWE is set to announce in the next few days a prime-time NBC special for a Saturday in December.
The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer followed up the Wrestlevotes report, noting that this will be the return of Saturday Night’s Main Event. Part of the new five-year TV deal with NBC is not only the return of SmackDown’s to the USA Network, but four specials per year airing on the NBC network.
Meltzer said the following in his Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
“Wrestlevotes reported WWE would be announcing a prime time special on NBC, perhaps on a Saturday night in December. The deal getting SmackDown on USA included four prime time specials per year on NBC. We were told by WWE that the return of Saturday Night’s Main Event will be announced very soon so that would indicate this is accurate.”
