This summer will see a series of rumbles and tumbles for metro Atlanta wrestling fans.

WWE announced on Tuesday that State Farm Arena will host a highly anticipated “weekend takeover” on Saturday, July 12 and Sunday, July 13. The events fall on the same weekend leading up to the 2025 MLB All-Star Game.

The arena will host the NBC primetime special “Saturday Night’s Main Event” on July 12, the third edition of the special this year. The program will also be streamed on Peacock and will air the same day as WWE rival league All Elite Wrestling’s “All In: Texas.”
