Following last month’s show in Uniondale, WWE will host another iteration of Saturday Night’s main event on January 25, this time from the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas. So far, WWE SMNE is stacked with four matches with a moderate contract signing by Shawn Michaels. As revealed on X (formerly Twitter)Michaels won’t be the only WWE Hall of Famer.
“So very excited for Saturday night’s main event this weekend in San Antonio,” Jesse “The Body” Ventura wrote. “The body is returning to Texas this Saturday evening!”
On the December 14 edition of WWE SNME, Ventura appeared in the opening segment, going down the respective card alongside broadcaster Joe Tessitore. He then resurfaced in the commentary booth, alongside Michael Cole and Pat McAfee, sporting a jacket he claimed was made from the skin of Roberts’ Jake “The Snake” Python named Damien. Together, Cole, McAfee and Ventura called the main event match between undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens, in which Rhodes emerged victorious. As of now, there is no word on whether Ventura will return to the commentary desk for the upcoming Saturday night main event or take on another role.
Besides Ventura’s return, this weekend’s WWE special event will also feature the aforementioned contract signing between Rhodes and Owens, who are set for a rematch at Royal Rumble 2025. Elsewhere, Gunther will defend the championship of the WWE World Heavyweight against Jey Uso, while Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker puts his title on Sheamus. Additionally, Nia Jax will challenge Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women’s World Championship. Braun Strowman vs. Jacob Fatu was also announced.
