UPDATED: WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event Rumored to Return on Fox
UPDATE: On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, (via wrestlinginc.com), Dave Meltzer said that while it’s possible, he was told by people in WWE and FOX that the story of adding Saturday Night’s Main Event is not true. He said that sources on both sides were told that there would not be any “added wrestling programming.” He did say that NXT to FS1 down the line is a possibility.
