Production/presentation
The show is taped on Tuesday evenings prior to the SmackDown taping. Lead IWE commentator Michael Cole and 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).
