The next edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event could take place in Nashville, per a recent report.

WWE is considering bringing the show to Nashville, Tennessee, on May 23, Wrestlevotes Radio on Fightful Select said on Thursday.

POST Wrestling heard from two sources with knowledge of the event, stating May 23 was the scheduled date. 

If confirmed, the event would come a week before WWE heads overseas for its Clash in Italy Premium Live Event (PLE).

Nashville is a frequent stop for WWE, with the city hosting episodes of SmackDown and Raw in recent years. The city’s last special event, whether it be a PLE or a show like SNME, dates back to 2022, when they played host to Summerslam.

WWE is currently under a deal to broadcast four episodes of Saturday Night’s Main Event per year for NBC’s Peacock streaming service.

The company has presented one of the specials so far this year, visiting Montreal, Quebec in January for a card headlined by Sami Zayn beating Damian Priest, Randy Orton, and Trick Williams in a four-way.
