Hulk Hogan Appearing at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event? Additional Match Planned – WWE is gearing up for a special edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14, 2024. The event will emanate from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York—the same venue that hosted the inaugural Saturday Night’s Main Event nearly 40 years ago on May 10, 1985. Four matches have already been announced, with speculation brewing about the main event and the involvement of legendary figures.
Cody Rhodes is rumored to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens, though the match has not been officially confirmed. Also scheduled are three high-stakes title bouts: World Heavyweight Champion Gunther is set to defend his title against Finn Balor, Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan will take on IYO SKY, and the tournament final to crown the first-ever WWE Women’s United States Champion will take place.
Additionally, a fifth match is reportedly in the works, as revealed on WrestleVotes Radio via SportsKeeda’s Backstage Pass Patreon. While the participants for this bout remain under wraps, the addition underscores WWE’s effort to make this event a must-see spectacle.
The retro-themed show is expected to honor the legacy of the original Saturday Night’s Main Event, with several legends slated to appear. Jesse Ventura and Jimmy Hart have already been confirmed, and there is growing speculation about Hulk Hogan’s potential involvement. Hart’s strong ties to Hogan’s career have fueled these rumors, especially considering Hogan’s pivotal role in the history of Saturday Night’s Main Event.
“We are also hearing that a source has confirmed to us that WWE has had initial discussions about bringing in specific legends to Saturday Night’s Main Event that will pay homage to the first ever Saturday Night’s Main Event episode, which took place in the same exact arena they will be at next Saturday night on Long Island close to 40 years ago. That first show took place on May 10, 1985. Specifically, we are hearing those names could include former WWF Women’s Champion Wendy Richter, who defeated the Fabulous Moolah that night, along with bringing in the two participants from the WWF Championship match that evening, which saw the immortal Hulk Hogan defeat Cowboy Bob Orton. It’s worth noting that Jimmy Hart is already booked for this show, as was reported elsewhere, which could indeed signal that the Hulkster isn’t that far behind. We are hearing that WWE has discussed calling in specific legends, not just the same old [names].”
As WWE adds the finishing touches to the event, fans eagerly await more announcements, including confirmation of the main event and potential surprise appearances.
