The old-school tradition is returning to WWE programming in the form of Saturday Nights Main Event 2025 before the first premium live event in the calendar. With the original comeback of this particular show going down in late 2024, the partnership of WWE and NBC will deliver a few more of this retro-themed show in the future.
With Saturday Nights Main Event 2025 being the imminent next special show in the WWE schedule, we can certainly expect to have some legendary names back on the fold from the old times for a one-off occasion. Legendary Jesse Ventura should be in the commentary booth like the latest bygone 2024 edition alongside a WWE Hall of Famer.
Going by the recent reports, WWE fans in San Antonio will be in for a treat when Shawn Michaels makes a special appearance at the Saturday Nights Main Event 2025 show. The Heartbreak Kid, a San Antonio native, will be part of the show at a possible homecoming moment that won’t involve him physically.
