WWE Officially Announces Return of Saturday Night’s Main Event to Salt Lake City With Tickets Going on Sale September 16

WWE is set to bring back the iconic Saturday Night’s Main Event with a special live event at Salt Lake City’s Delta Center on November 1, 2025. Tickets for the highly anticipated show, as well as the Thursday-night SmackDown event on October 31 at the same venue, went on presale Monday, September 15 at 10 a.m. MST, with general public ticket sales opening Tuesday, September 16 at 10 a.m. MST via SeatGeek, according to an official WWE press release. This marks a significant return to Salt Lake City for WWE, rekindling one of the company’s signature televised events for the fans in Utah’s capital[1][2][3].

According to WWE.com and the initial announcement from TKO Group Holdings — WWE’s parent company — the November 1 Saturday Night’s Main Event promises to deliver the kind of high-octane wrestling action fans expect from this storied series that originally debuted in the mid-1980s. The event is part of a broader partnership involving the Utah Sports Commission and Smith Entertainment Group to host multiple WWE and UFC events in Salt Lake City through 2026[1].

For fans looking to elevate their Saturday Night’s Main Event experience, WWE’s exclusive partner On Location is offering special ticket packages known as Official Saturday Night’s Main Event Passes. These premium packages include ringside seating, all-inclusive pre-show hospitality featuring appearances by WWE Superstars, ringside photo opportunities, and other VIP perks. These passes were made available prior to the general sale and provide a unique way for fans to get closer to the action than ever before[1][4].

Backstage, sources close to WWE hinted at a strong lineup of top-tier talent set to perform at the event, although WWE has yet to release an official card. “Salt Lake City has always been a passionate wrestling market,” a WWE insider told Fightful. “Saturday Night’s Main Event returning here is a big deal, and WWE is planning some marquee matches to deliver a memorable show for the fans.” This aligns with WWE’s recent strategy of leveraging historic brands and live touring events to build excitement around their product in diverse markets[1].

The significance of Salt Lake City as the host city is underscored by the recent agreement between TKO Group Holdings, the Utah Sports Commission, and Smith Entertainment Group to bring multiple major combat sports events to the city through 2026. This partnership aims to boost local sports tourism and solidify Salt Lake City as a key stop on the WWE live event circuit[1].

Additionally, the Friday night SmackDown event scheduled for October 31 at the Delta Center will give fans back-to-back nights of WWE action, creating a weekend wrestling festival atmosphere. Tickets for SmackDown are included in the same release, further emphasizing WWE’s commitment to the Salt Lake City market this fall[1][2].

WWE fans interested in attending either the SmackDown show or Saturday Night’s Main Event are encouraged to act quickly as ticket demand is expected to be high. According to seat maps and ticket listings on SeatGeek, premium seats are limited and accessible seating for those with disabilities is reportedly already sold out, highlighting the strong interest from local and traveling fans alike[3].

This return of Saturday Night’s Main Event to Salt Lake City marks a nostalgic yet forward-looking chapter in WWE’s event calendar ahead of the holiday season. WWE’s efforts to combine live event excitement with historic programming underscore the company’s ongoing efforts to innovate while honoring its rich heritage. More details about the match card and special appearances are expected in the coming weeks via WWE’s official channels, podcasts, and media interviews[1].

For fans wanting insider tips, podcasts like “WrestleTalk” and interviews featured on Fightful often provide early insights into talent confirmations and storyline developments leading up to major events like Saturday Night’s Main Event. Experts expect WWE to feature top stars from both the Raw and SmackDown rosters, giving this event a competitive edge and high-profile feel[1].

As of now, fans can purchase tickets starting Tuesday, September 16 at 10 a.m. MST through SeatGeek, while presale tickets have been available since Monday, September 15 at 10 a.m. MST. Official VIP Sunday packages remain available through WWE’s partner On Location for those seeking an exclusive experience[1][4].

WWE’s Salt Lake City weekend promises to be a can’t-miss occasion for wrestling enthusiasts, packing hours of live entertainment, star power, and iconic moments reminiscent of WWE’s classic TV event series.
