TKO reportedly sees Quavo’s performance as a test for WWE’s future event presentation
WWE is set to experiment with a major change to its event presentation when Quavo performs at Sunday Night’s Main Event 2026.
The show is scheduled for Sunday, September 6, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, with the musical performance expected to open the event.
The concert was not always part of WWE’s plans for the show. The original concept reportedly involved Atlanta rapper Lil Yachty performing alongside the event, but those plans were eventually scrapped.
Instead, Lil Yachty was announced for an in-ring match, while WWE later confirmed that Quavo would provide the musical performance at the event.

According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, TKO was particularly interested in having a musical performance as part of Sunday Night’s Main Event.
The report suggests that the concert is being viewed internally as more than a one-off attraction. WWE reportedly sees the event as a test for potentially incorporating similar performances into other major shows in the future.
The broader concept is designed to give WWE events an element comparable to major sporting spectacles, where live music performances have become a significant part of the overall presentation.
The report specifically compared the idea to halftime performances at major sporting events. Rather than treating music as an occasional celebrity appearance, WWE could potentially make high-profile performances a more regular component of its biggest events.
WWE could make concerts part of its long-term vision
The reported plan indicates that TKO views musical performances as part of a longer-term vision for WWE’s presentation.
Sunday Night’s Main Event could therefore provide an opportunity for the company to assess how a concert fits alongside a wrestling event and whether the format resonates with its audience.
Quavo’s appearance also gives WWE an established music star with strong ties to Atlanta, adding a local connection to the event.
For WWE, the success of the performance could influence whether similar concepts are introduced at other major shows. If the experiment works, future premium events could feature more prominent musical acts alongside the wrestling action.
The approach would also give WWE another way to position its biggest events as broader entertainment spectacles rather than wrestling-only productions.
For now, Quavo’s performance remains the immediate attraction, while the larger significance could be what WWE and TKO learn from the experiment.
