Variety reported today that the WWE has inked a deal with
streaming service Rumble to become the new home of their
weekly series Main Event.
Main Event currently airs on YouTube but moves to its new
home on Wednesday, October 14 and will air every Wednesday
at 8PM ET.
“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, WWE Executive Vice President.
“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.”
A few episodes of Main Event have been uploaded to the
service already, with future shows airing on the WWE channel
