Jesse Ventura Returning to Commentary at Saturday Night’s Main Event – Jesse Ventura is officially returning to the commentary booth for the December 14th WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event special, marking a significant moment in WWE’s ongoing tribute to the show’s storied legacy.
WWE announced the news earlier today during an appearance on the Bill Simmons Podcast, confirming that Ventura will join the event as a commentator for the first time in years. This comes on the heels of Ventura signing a WWE Legends contract, solidifying his relationship with the company.
The return of Saturday Night’s Main Event is set to honor its historical roots. WWE has embraced a retro theme for the event, incorporating classic graphics, the original theme music, and the involvement of legends like Jesse Ventura, who played a pivotal role in defining the show during its original run on NBC in the 1980s.
Ventura’s return to commentary adds another layer of nostalgia to the event, which will take place at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York—the same venue that hosted the inaugural Saturday Night’s Main Event in 1985. Fans can expect his signature style to provide a unique touch to the night’s action-packed lineup, which includes matches such as Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens for the Undisputed WWE Championship, Gunther vs. Finn Balor for the World Heavyweight Championship, and Liv Morgan defending the Women’s World Championship against IYO SKY.
Ventura’s legendary presence and his sharp, iconic commentary are sure to make this special an unforgettable experience for WWE fans old and new.
