WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event returns for the first special of 2025, and UK fans don’t need Netflix to tune in.
The professional wrestling giant brought back the iconic 1980s event last month for the first of a number of SNMEs throughout the year, and we’re almost set for another dose of nostalgia on YouTube.
It’s the last big stop before the Royal Rumble fast approaching, and it’s stacked with three championship bouts, a grudge match and more.
Hall of Famer Jesse ‘The Body’ Venture is set to feature, while there has been speculation Hulk Hogan could appear despite getting loudly rejected by fans on Netflix’s Raw premiere earlier this month.
Although the streamer is the official home of WWE in the UK, this show is available a little differently.
Here is everything you need to know about tomorrow’s huge event.
When is WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event 2025?

WWE’s big shows have been available via the WWE Network or TNT Sports Box Office in recent years, but that all changed earlier this month when WWE made the move to Netflix.

WWE made the move to Netflix earlier this month, with fans now able to watch Raw, SmackDown and NXT every week, plus premium live events like WrestleMania in April.
In the US, Saturday Night’s Main Event is a television special, and it seems part of that deal means it’s broadcast on YouTube rather than Netflix getting the international rights.
However, things will be back to normal next weekend with the Royal Rumble, which will stream live on Netflix.
When is WWE Royal Rumble 2025?
The Royal Rumble is coming on February 1, 2025 – which is a little later than fans are used to.

Traditionally, the iconic event has taken place at the end of January, but this year’s edition is marginally different.
The event will be available to stream on Netflix for UK fans, and there are some huge names confirmed with the likes of John Cena, Roman Reigns, CM Punk and more all entering the men’s Rumble.
On the women’s side, former champs Nia Jax and Bayley have both declared themselves for the bout.
