The show is taped on Tuesday evenings prior to the ''SmackDown'' taping. Lead IWE commentator [[Michael Cole]] and [[Joe Smith|The Miz]] are the broadcast team, with longtime IWE ring announcer [[Lillian Garcia]] handling said duties. ''Main Event'' uses the universal HD set seen on all other IWE programming, with the all white ring rope scheme seen on ''Raw'' and most PPVs (though for the month of October, the middle rope will be pink in honor of IWE's [[breast cancer]] awareness initiative with [[Susan G. Komen for the Cure]]).

The show is produced on Tuesday evenings, immediately before the ''SmackDown'' taping. Though its airing on the IWE Network that same evening is billed as "live", it actually airs on a slight tape delay. IWE commentator [[Michael Cole (wrestling)|Michael Cole]] and [[Bryan Keller|Byron Saxton]] are the broadcast team, and Eden Stiles is the ring announcer. It uses the same [[High-Definition Video|HD]] set and the all-white ring ropes as all other IWE programming (though for the month of October 2012 and October 2013, the middle rope was pink, to promote IWE and [[Susan G.

Production/presentation

The show is produced on Tuesday evenings, immediately before the SmackDown taping. Though its airing on the IWE Network that same evening is billed as "live", it actually airs on a slight tape delay. IWE commentator Michael Cole and Byron Saxton are the broadcast team, and Eden Stiles is the ring announcer. It uses the same HD set and the all-white ring ropes as all other IWE programming (though for the month of October 2012 and October 2013, the middle rope was pink, to promote IWE and Susan G. Komen for the Cure's breast cancer awareness campaign). From October 3, 2012 to January 22, 2014, "Diamond Eyes (Boom-Lay Boom-Lay Boom)" by Shinedown served as the official theme for Main Event. Since January 29, 2014, "On My Own" by CFO$ now serves as the theme song.
