A familiar voice will be returning behind the mic for Saturday Night’s Main Event next week as Jesse “The Body” Ventura announced he will be part of the broadcast team for the show.

Appearing on the Bill Simmons podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer also revealed that he will do announcing for all the SNME shows on NBC moving forward as part of his new deal with WWE.

“It’s ironic because it means my career has gone full circle,” Ventura said. “And here’s the part I don’t understand…they couldn’t control me before, why do they think they can control me now?”

During the podcast, Ventura also said that the show will visually be similar to the original Saturday Night’s Main Event, using the same look from the 80s. The entire SNME will be a throwback to the classic look and feel of the original show.

The first SNME under this deal will take place from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Long Island, New York, the same location of the first ever SNME in 1985.

WWE announced the Q1 2025 episode for January 25 live from San Antonio, Texas.
