A full recap of the story leading to Jeff Hardy’s first WWE Championship win is now available to watch for free.

WWE has confirmed where the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event special will be available for UK fans!
With the return of Saturday Night’s Main Event airing exclusively on NBC in the US, international fans have been left wondering where they’ll be able to watch the special – as it doesn’t appear that it’ll be available via the company’s usual content platforms.
Just over a week out from the show, British fans have finally had their queries settled. Earlier today, the WWE UK X account quietly announced the show will be available to watch live via the WWE YouTube channel.
No further details were provided, leaving it unclear if Saturday Night’s Main Event will only be available to watch live or if the full show will remain on YouTube afterwards. Furthermore, it’s unknown if this method will only be available in the UK or to all international regions.

Pat McAfee has confirmed recent rumours that he’s set to return to WWE imminently!
During a recent WWE media event at Netflix’s headquarters, Triple let slip that Pat McAfee will soon be returning to the company. McAfee last appeared on programming back in August before stepping away to focus on his ESPN College GameDay duties.
Now, the on-and-off WWE announcer has confirmed the move in a post to X. While he didn’t give an exact date for his return, he made it clear it will take place in time for the company’s historic move to Netflix in January.
An absolute honor to be asked back.. A. Childhood dream realized every single time I’m lucky enough to be in an arena with the @WWE Universe.
Can’t wait to be talking into a microphone next to @MichaelCole again.. He’s the 🐐.
I’m excited to tell the worldwide audience on… https://t.co/OIC1JMzJ3G

A top independent name is set to challenge for Chris Jericho‘s Ring of Honor World Championship!
During an ROH TV taping following last night’s episode of AEW Dynamite, former GCW World Champion Matt Cardona made a surprise appearance. The former Zack Ryder interrupted Chris Jericho and announced he’d be his challenger at Final Battle later this month.
This marked Cardona’s Ring of Honor debut as well as his first appearance for sister promotion AEW since challenging Adam Copeland for the TNT Championship back in March.
Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque has boldly claimed the upcoming Netflix Era of WWE is bigger than the Attitude Era!
The current WWE Chief Content Officer shared his surprising belief during a recent WWE media event at Netflix’s headquarters as a key figure in both eras. He later disregarded claims that the upcoming WWE era should be named after him.
I think the moment that we’re going through right now, I was in the Attitude Era at the peak of it as you were. We didn’t realize what it was in the moment.
Having seen that, I see this, and I see it way bigger bigger. I see this as this different moment of time in the business, and it being something different.
[Michael Cole] mentioned it being the Triple H Era. I don’t think it’s that. I think at the end of it, it’s going to be called the Netflix Era because that’s where the big change is.
