WWE Returns to Atlanta for Massive July Weekend Takeover Featuring Saturday Night’s Main Event, Evolution & The Great American Bash

ATLANTA (May 27, 2025) – The WWE Universe is in for a historic weekend this summer as WWE officially announces a three-event takeover in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday, July 12, and Sunday, July 13. The weekend will feature the return of Saturday Night’s Main Event®, the revival of Evolution®, and the fan-favourite Great American Bash® – three blockbuster events across two venues that will electrify the city.

Main Events at State Farm Arena

State Farm Arena will be the epicentre of WWE action with two marquee shows on back-to-back nights. The legendary Saturday Night’s Main Event returns as a primetime special airing live coast-to-coast on NBC at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on July 12, also simulcasting on Peacock. The next night, WWE’s celebrated all-women’s Premium Live Event Evolution, makes its highly anticipated return on Sunday, July 13. Originally debuting in 2018, Evolution will once again spotlight the incredible athleticism, power, and charisma of WWE’s women Superstars.

The Great American Bash at Center Stage Theatre

Before Saturday night’s action, The Great American Bash will take place on the afternoon of July 12 at the historic Center Stage Theatre — the former home of WCW Saturday Night. This intimate venue provides the perfect backdrop for a throwback-style event that honours wrestling’s rich legacy in Atlanta.
