Major WWE reunion set for Saturday Night's Main Event -Report
It looks like WWE has some surprises in store for Saturday Night's Main Event. The classic show is set for a revival, and so there is some hype to live up to.
Triple H mentioned a few days ago that Pat McAfee is returning to World Wrestling Entertainment full-time after taking some time off from the Stamford-based promotion since the August 19 episode of RAW. McAfee needed this time to focus on his duties as a host for the ESPN College GameDay. Outside these ventures, he also hosts The Pat McAfee Show which covers various sports media.
On X (fka Twitter), Sportskeeda Wrestling's Dr. Chris Featherstone has reported that Pat McAfee, Michael Cole, and Joe Tessitore will join WWE legends Jesse Ventura in the broadcast team for Saturday Night's Main Event tonight.
"The full #SNME broadcast team will consist of Michael Cole, Pat McAfee, Joe Tessitore, and Jesse Ventura. Joe and Jesse will host (Jesse scheduled to call the Cody/Owens match), while Cole and McAfee will do the heavy lifting on commentary. Attire is going to be similar to old school episodes, with Jesse wearing the boas," Featherstone wrote.
WWE Saturday Night's Main Event is scheduled to emanate from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Long Island, New York. The venue is where the first edition of the classic show took place in 1985.
WWE Saturday Night's Main Event 2024 will crown the inaugural Women's US Champion
This past Friday, Chelsea Green and Michin defeated Bayley and Ms. Money in the Bank Tiffany Stratton, respectively, to advance into the final. Green and the former OC member will square off tonight in a bout that will decide who will hoist the Women's United States Championship for the first time in WWE.
Chelsea Green and Michin are no strangers to one another. Little over two months ago, they ended their rivalry in a Dumpster Match, in which Michin scored the victory and embarrassed Green in the process. The former Women's Tag Team Champion now has an opportunity to redeem herself. However, Michin herself has never won a singles title in WWE and has so far been riding high on a wave of momentum.
Other bouts on the card include World Heavyweight Champion Gunther vs. Damian Priest vs. Finn Bálor, Drew McIntyre vs. Sami Zayn, and Women's World Champion Liv Morgan vs. IYO SKY. WWE Saturday Night's Main Event will be headlined by Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens.
