WWE reportedly has significant long-term plans for the show, with PWInsider noting that the company intends to treat these specials with the same importance as its premium live events, implying a bigger focus on these shows moving forward.
WWE aims to elevate Saturday Night’s Main Event over the next year, a revival that has fans excited about the return of a show that played a key role in WWE’s history and expansion.

• Raquel Rodriguez made a surprising return to WWE at Bad Blood, turning heel and aligning with The Judgment Day.
Her interference in the WWE Women’s World Championship match between Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley resulted in a disqualification, allowing Morgan to retain her title.
Originally, Rodriguez was supposed to help Morgan win, but a mistimed interference led to the referee calling for a DQ instead.
Rodriguez’s return comes after an eight-month absence due to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, which forced her out of action in March.
According to PWInsider, WWE had been planning her return since July, and she is now officially part of The Judgment Day faction.
