Jesse Ventura Confirms Status For WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event

Jesse Ventura has put to bed speculation about his WWE future.

WWE Hall of Famer Jesse Ventura returned to television at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14th, 2024. Ventura, who was synonymous with the event in its 1980s heyday, signed a WWE Legends deal earlier in the year to cement his new relationship with the company.

At the time it was noted the veteran would be appearing at all of the quarterly specials in 2025, but that commitment was quickly thrown into doubt.

Following the news that Hulk Hogan would be appearing at Saturday Night’s Main Event on January 25th, it was suggested this could mean Ventura would miss the taping. The two Hall of Famers have been at odds since the 1990s, and Ventura has continued to state that he’s no fan of Hogan.

However, that won’t stop him from appearing in San Antonio, Texas for SNME.

Despite the speculation, in a post on social media, Ventura has now confirmed he’ll be at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

So very excited for Saturday Night’s Main Event this weekend in San Antonio. The Body returns to Texas this Saturday Night!

Meanwhile, it’s been reported that Shawn Michaels will also be appearing at the event in his hometown of San Antonio. Although Michaels is currently the main man behind NXT, he rarely features on main roster television.
