WWE announced on Friday that they will air a one hour special next weekend, November 25th, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on the WWE Network that will feature highlights from the Starrcade live event happening next Saturday in Cincinnati.

WWE brought back the Starrcade banner in November 2017 for a house show in Greensboro, North Carolina. That was no coincidence as the original Starrcade event promoted by Jim Crockett Promotions in 1983 emanated from Greensboro. Starrcade went on to become the NWA and later WCW’s signature event every single year until the company’s closing. The final Starrcade under the WCW banner occurred in December 2000.
Last year’s Starrcade event did not air on the WWE Network, which many fans noted as a disappointment. It would have been nice to see WWE broadcast the entire event live on the WWE Network this year, but seeing highlights the night after is at least a start and better than what we received last year.
