WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event Gets Shoutout During Sunday Night Football

WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event received unexpected attention during NBC’s Sunday Night Football, sparking excitement ahead of its December 14 return.

Crossover Between WWE and the NFL

During the December 8, 2024, broadcast of Sunday Night Football, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Los Angeles Chargers, WWE fans were treated to a surprise. As the game returned from a commercial break, one of the commentators gave a shoutout to WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The plug highlighted WWE’s return to the iconic Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. This event commemorates nearly 40 years since the first Saturday Night’s Main Event, which debuted in 1985. The commentator ended the mention with a playful remark, saying, “Back to grown-up things,” which humorously acknowledged the crossover between sports and wrestling entertainment.

Nostalgic WWE Moments Await Fans

The return of Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14 is expected to be a nostalgic celebration, with speculation surrounding appearances from wrestling legends like Hulk Hogan and Wendy Richter. WWE is aiming to bring classic elements from the original series while also appealing to modern audiences.

The Importance of Cross-Promotion

This unexpected shoutout during Sunday Night Football is significant for WWE, as it exposes Saturday Night’s Main Event to millions of NFL fans. Cross-promotion between WWE and mainstream sports platforms helps broaden WWE’s audience and generates buzz for upcoming events.
