"We're excited to bring Saturday Night's Main Event exclusively to Peacock beginning this fall," said WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque. "NBCU have been terrific longtime partners, and we look forward to continuing to work with them for years to come."

"Peacock has had a wonderful relationship with the WWE and we're excited to see it continue far into the future," said Rick Cordella, President, NBC Sports.
