Who is the Pro Wrestling Icon Rumored to Return for WWE’s ‘Saturday Night’s Main Event’?

WWE fans, get ready to dust off your nostalgia goggles because Saturday Night’s Main Event is making a grand return to our screens! The iconic wrestling extravaganza is set to come back in a big way on December 14, 2024, with a live show simulcast on NBC and Peacock.

But that’s not all – the real buzz surrounds the possible return of none other than Jesse “The Body” Ventura to the WWE universe. The former wrestler and Governor of Minnesota was a fan-favorite commentator during the original SNME events back in the 1980s, and industry insiders are whispering that he might just be making a comeback alongside Vince McMahon.

If the rumors are true, this would be a major coup for WWE, who have reportedly already signed Ventura to a ‘legends’ style contract. Recent footage of Ventura embracing WWE Chief, Paul Lavesque has only added fuel to the fire, sparking speculation that he may be gearing up to lay down some verbal smackdowns on today’s WWE Superstars once more.

The revival of Saturday Night’s Main Event is part of a new five-year rights deal with NBCUniversal, and fans can expect four quarterly specials to hit screens as part of the arrangement. Additionally, WWE has inked a lucrative contract with Netflix to air content starting in January 2025, solidifying their position as a major player in the entertainment industry.

Tickets for the highly-anticipated return show will go on sale on September 20, so mark your calendars and get ready to witness a piece of wrestling history come back to life.
