WWE issued the following press release to announce Rumble Sports as the new home of WWE Main Event.
September 24, 2026 – WWE, part of TKO Group Holdings (NYSE: TKO), and Rumble, a video platform powering human imagination, part of RUM Group Inc. (NASDAQ: RUM), today announced a long-term distribution and content partnership in which Rumble will become the new home of the weekly premium program WWE Main Event.
Beginning October 14, Rumble will stream WWE Main Event every Wednesday starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, with each episode available at Rumble.com/WWE as part of Rumble Sport’s lineup on Rumble.com and Rumble’s mobile and connected TV apps.
“WWE Main Event will be a key pillar in Rumble’s expanding sports programming lineup.” said Claudio Ramolo, Rumble’s Chief Content Officer. “WWE content has consistently ranked among the most-watched programming on television, top streaming platforms and social media for decades — a rare combination that resonates with both fans and advertisers alike. This partnership reflects Rumble’s ongoing commitment to bringing our users the very best in sports, entertainment and beyond.”
“Serving a digital-first audience is a core focus for WWE, and Rumble has built an accessible platform that is committed to delivering premium sports and entertainment programming,” said Alex Varga, EVP, WWE.
WWE Main Event features matches that take place weekly ahead of Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown from venues around the world. Since its debut in October 2012, WWE Main Event has showcased several of the biggest WWE Superstars from Raw, SmackDown and NXT, including Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Charlotte Flair, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton and more. The deal underscores Rumble’s continued push to grow its audience by bringing more premium sports content to the platform.
Powell’s POV: WWE Main Event currently streams Thursday on YouTube. Once the show moves to Rumble, it will have the same start time as WWE Evolve and AEW Dynamite.
