An ex-WWE star will be at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The next Saturday Night’s Main Event special is set to come live from the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida, on May 24th.

As usual, the stars will be out for the event, and on this occasion, that includes former WWE Superstar Tatanka. In a post on social media, the veteran confirmed that he’ll be in attendance with his sons, Joseph and Jeremiah.

Chris Chavis began his career in 1989, and just two years later, he signed with the then-WWF. Under the name Tatanka, he initially remained undefeated and challenged for the Intercontinental Championship.

The star left the company in 1996 and returned to the independent scene before heading back to WWE in 2005. He remained with the sports entertainment giant for two more years before asking for his release and stepping back onto the independent circuit.

WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event Card Taking Shape

At the time of publication, only two matches have been confirmed for the rebooted TV special, but both could have huge implications moving forward.

Jey Uso will make the second defence of his World Championship after finally seeing off Gunther at WrestleMania 41. In Tampa, Florida, Uso will put the gold on the line against Logan Paul after his first defence against Seth Rollins on Raw ended in a Disqualification.

Elsewhere, the aforementioned Rollins will team with Bron Breakker against Sami Zayn and CM Punk. The odds will be stacked in favour of Rollins and Breakker, with Paul Heyman calling the shots from ringside.

Aside from the action in the ring, Lilian Garcia will serve as the ring announcer.
