WWE Main Event is leaving YouTube for Rumble, with the weekly show moving to the streaming platform beginning October 14. WWE and Rumble announced the long-term distribution and content partnership on Thursday, after Variety first reported the move.
Rumble will stream Main Event every Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Episodes will be available at Rumble.com/WWE as part of the Rumble Sports lineup on Rumble.com and Rumble’s mobile and connected TV apps.
The slot is a big change. Main Event has streamed on YouTube since the start of 2026, most recently on Thursdays, and its latest episode featured Joe Hendry vs. Ethan Page and Kyoki vs. Kit Wilson. On Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET, it will run in the same hour as AEW Dynamite on TBS and WWE’s own Evolve, which streams on Tubi.
WWE’s channel is already live on Rumble, with the September 17 episode of Main Event available to watch.
Rumble Chief Content Officer Claudio Ramolo called the show “a key pillar in Rumble’s expanding sports programming lineup.” He pointed to WWE’s long record of ranking among the most-watched programming on television, streaming platforms and social media, and said the deal reflects Rumble’s push to bring users more sports and entertainment.
WWE Executive Vice President Alex Varga said serving a digital-first audience is a core focus for the company, and described Rumble as an accessible platform committed to premium sports and entertainment programming.
Main Event debuted in October 2012 and features matches taped weekly ahead of Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown, with talent from Raw, SmackDown and NXT. The announcement did not include financial terms.
