Is four hours (between RAW and Smackdown) of WWE programming a week not enough for you? Oh, wait. I mean, is soon-to-be five hours a week not enough? Hold on. I mean, is eight hours on weeks when there’s a Pay-Per-View not enough? Then this is the story you’ve been waiting for.
ION television is teaming with the WWE for an all-new hour long weekly series, WWE Main Event, that will air on Wednesday nights at 8pm, starting October 3rd.
WWE Main Event will feature WWE Superstars and Divas from both the RAW and Smackdown and will include in-ring action and current storylines from both shows.
“ION Television is delighted to begin a new partnership with such a successful and well-recognized franchise as WWE,” said Brandon Burgess, CEO, ION Media Networks. “As a general entertainment network with a solid foundation, WWE Main Event is a great addition to our lineup that features something for everyone. We look forward to introducing our ION audience to all of the excitement and drama WWE has to offer as well as welcoming a passionate new fan base to the network.”
“WWE looks forward to this new partnership with ION Television,” said Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman and CEO. “We are excited about producing this new television show, WWE Main Event, and bringing our fans to ION Television every Wednesday."
