**Actually, WWE has only done 2 per year since bringing it back (part of WWE's contract with NBC Universasl is that they get 2 primetime Saturday night specials per year, which is why NBC has to air them regardless of the ratings the previous ones got).

WWE Saturday Night's Main Event results

AfDs for this article:
WWE Saturday Night's Main Event results (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

This article is a list of results for a non-PPV television show held occasionally throughout World Wrestling Entertainment's history. The article doesn't cite any references for match results in the article, and only lists two at the end, which is pretty bad for an article of its size. I also feel that this lacks the notability to have its own list. The Hybrid 00:14, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
