A WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event is being planned for Madison Square Garden in July, according to Fightful Select. WrestleVotes reported the news, noting that the iconic New York City arena is set to host one of WWE’s marquee television specials later this summer.
The announcement adds to an already busy MSG schedule for WWE. The company is currently set to return to the venue on March 30 for a loaded episode of Monday Night Raw featuring two title matches and major WrestleMania 42 implications. The next confirmed Saturday Night’s Main Event before the MSG event is scheduled for May 23 at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Indiana, airing on Peacock.
WWE’s History With Madison Square Garden Makes This a Significant Booking
MSG and WWE have one of the most storied relationships in all of professional wrestling, dating back to the very first WrestleMania in 1985. A Saturday Night’s Main Event at the World’s Most Famous Arena carries significant weight, and the July date puts it squarely in the post-WrestleMania season when new storylines and championships will be taking shape following the Las Vegas mega-event. Full details on the MSG Saturday Night’s Main Event remain limited at this time, with more information expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
