WWE main event helps to utilize the underutilized stars

The hour-long WWE main event, which premiered on October 3, 2012, featured mid to low-card performers from WWE’s Raw brand as well as several from NXT.

Main Event is recorded on Monday nights before WWE Raw. Episodes normally consist of two bouts (one for men and one for women). In the United States, new episodes of Main Event air on Hulu on Thursdays; it was formerly shown on Ion Television until April 2014. It is also broadcast by WWE’s overseas television partners.

WWE viewed the show as a spiritual successor to WWE Superstars (which broadcast on WGN America until 2011, then moved to WWE’s digital channels in the United States). Hulu also bought the series as part of a broader deal that included video-on-demand rights for WWE’s key weekly programs.

Ion Television cancelled the series in April 2014; following the cancellation, WWE aired a live episode of Main Event from Detroit on its then-new subscription service WWE Network. It was rumored to be a stress test for live events on the service in advance of WrestleMania XXX.

Before November 28, 2016, the main event was recorded before SmackDown. It was later switched to Raw with the debut of WWE Network’s 205 Live, which aired live after SmackDown from the same location.

This week’s Main Event matchups were recorded before RAW on Monday night in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and will air on this week’s program on Thursday on Hulu.
