It never stops in WWE.

On Thursday, and on the heels of falling behind AEW on this year's PWI Top 500 list, WWE made two major company announcements. The first was regarding the company's long-running program, WWE Main Event.

The WWE announced Thursday that the Main Event program would be moving to the Rumble streaming platform. The show will premiere on October 14 and run every Wednesday at 8 p.m. EST. The company will use the Rumble platform to continue expanding its digital content distribution. WWE Main Event content previously aired on YouTube.
