When the company’s main roster premium live events became exclusive to ESPN and its various platforms for U.S. viewers as part of the many media rights deals WWE made in 2025, Peacock went from being the domestic home of the entire library to having the quarterly Saturday Night’s Main Event as its lone exclusive WWE property. So if you’re in the States and you want to see Sami Zayn and Gunther try to earn a spot in CM Punk and Cody Rhodes’ WWE title match at SummerSlam, a Women’s Tag title tilt,
two other matches and whatever ends up going down with New York Knicks icons Jalen Brunson and Danhausen in Madison Square Garden tonight (July 18)? You’ll need a Peacock subscription.
If you’re outside the U.S. (or take Stephanie McMahon’s advice)? Then it should be free for you on WWE’s YouTube.
Wherever you find it, it’s going down live in New York City tonight! After a 30 minute Countdown show with analysis and hype that will stream on all WWE’s online outlets, Saturday Night’s Main Event proper starts at 8 p.m. Eastern.
Our staff made predictions for every match on tonight’s card here. Cageside Seats has the interwebs’ best play-by-play coverage for Saturday Night’s Main Event and every show, courtesy of gentlewoman, scholar, and live blogger par excellence, Claire Elizabeth. Claire’s live blog for tonight will be here an hour before the show starts.
Here’s everything that’s on tap for Saturday Night’s Main Event from the World’s Most Famous Arena:
- Undisputed WWE champ CM Punk & Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther & Sami Zayn; if Gunther and Zayn win, they’ll be added SummerSlam’s Rhodes/Punk title match
