Several WWE legends were in attendance for the latest edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event. The second special of the rebooted weekend wrestling show saw a number of superstars of the past watching those of the present from the audience, each with their own brief dossier recalling their best and most historic moments with the company.
Throughout the event, the spotlight was on former WWE Women’s Champion Alundra Blayze, former World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry, two of the Four Horsemen, Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard, the first Royal Rumble winner “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, as well as “The Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibiase and Dory Funk Jr. Blayze and Duggan came with their own accessories, the former with the belt women’s title on which she famously won an episode of “WCW Nitro” in 1995, and the latter with her signature 2×4.

Jesse “The Body” Ventura and Shawn Michaels also participated in the event in a more active capacity; Ventura provided commentary, while Michaels presided over the contract signing between Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes. Before the Royal Rumble ladder match for the WWE Championship, Michaels was there to oversee the signing of the contract, and thus the relinquishment of the WWE Main Championship and the stolen “Winged Eagle” belts. But the segment quickly turned violent after a verbal exchange, with Owens looking to land the Package Piledriver on Michaels, only for Rhodes to land a superkick to save the “Heartbreak Kid” and open the heel to take Sweet Chin Music for close the segment.
