Rumble will become the new streaming home of WWE Main Event beginning October 14, under a long-term distribution and content partnership announced by the companies. Episodes will air weekly on Wednesdays as part of Rumble Sports’ lineup across the platform’s website, mobile apps, and connected TV apps.
WWE Main Event has run since October 2012, airing matches ahead of “Raw” and “SmackDown” from venues worldwide and featuring stars including Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Charlotte Flair, Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton.
“WWE Main Event will be a key pillar in Rumble’s expanding sports programming lineup,” said Claudio Ramolo, Rumble’s Chief Content Officer. “WWE content has consistently ranked among the most-watched programming on television, top streaming platforms and social media for decades, a rare combination that resonates with both fans and advertisers alike. This partnership reflects Rumble’s ongoing commitment to bringing our users the very best in sports, entertainment and beyond.”
“Serving a digital-first audience is a core focus for WWE, and Rumble has built an accessible platform that is committed to delivering premium sports and entertainment programming,” said Alex Varga, EVP, WWE.
In the second quarter of 2026, Rumble’s hours watched fell 27% from the previous quarter, a drop tied to fading viewership of earlier coverage of the U.S.-Iran conflict, according to a report from Streams Charts. A separate report from Streamlabs and Hatchet found Rumble rebounded 16.1% quarter over quarter in the same period to 79.4 million hours watched, though the platform remained down 37.1% year over year. Both reports place Rumble among the industry’s smaller platforms, well behind leaders such as YouTube Live and Twitch.
A weekly, dated WWE program gives Rumble a recurring content anchor less dependent on news-cycle spikes. WWE, for its part, gains another outlet as it continues expanding Main Event’s reach beyond traditional television.
