Two Huge Rematches Scheduled For WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event

WWE is making plans for the return of a popular special.

It’s been announced that WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event will return on December 14th at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island, New York. In a nice piece of trivia, that’s the same venue that hosted the first-ever episode of the show in 1985.

Saturday Night’s Main Event launched in 1985 before being retired in 1993. It returned in 2006, but amid falling ratings and interest, was scrapped again in 2008.

Meanwhile, it’s been reported that Jesse Ventura will feature on the show in some capacity. Ventura, who recently signed a Legends deal with the company was a popular part of Saturday Night’s Main Event during the 1980s.

Two Rematches To Headline WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event

While WWE has Crown Jewel and Survivor Series to get through before heading to the TV special, creative is already being penciled in. As reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Cody Rhodes is set to face Kevin Owens, and Gunther will meet Damian Priest. However, neither match is “etched in stone.”

Right now it appears the Saturday Night’s Main Event on 12/14 will have Rhodes vs. Owens and Gunther vs. Priest but we were told both are currently slated but not etched in stone.

With regard to Crown Jewel, Rhodes and Gunther are set to square off for the right to be called Crown Jewel Champion.
