Saturday Night’s Main Event 2024: Old School WWE Legends Rumoured For Comeback

WWE is set to wrap things up in their special event calendar by bringing the magic back of Saturday Night's Main Event, later this month. Alongside a stacked card set for the show, a few legendary names could also grace the night.

Unlike any other special event produced by WWE, Saturday Night's Main Event will be a pure nostalgia act for wrestling fans as it marks a celebration of an inaugural show that aired nearly 40 years ago.

To make things right, WWE is also visiting the same venue where the very first Saturday night show took place. Now, some of the names headlining the inaugural show are also rumoured to be in the building on this returning occasion.

According to WrestleVotes Radio, WWE has actively been discussing presenting a mix of legendary names in honor of the illustrious history of Saturday Night's Main Event. Hulk Hogan is the front-runner to return, as he headlined the original SNME in 1985.

It turned out to be a groundbreaking night for professional wrestling, featuring Hulk Hogan defending the WWF Championship against Cowboy Bob Orton and Wendy Richter defeating the Fabulous Moolah for the WWF Women's Championship.

The report affirms that WWE is reportedly in talks to reunite some of those participants for the retro-themed special and as such, Wendy Richter, a trailblazer in women's wrestling might also join the celebration.

While no further legends were mentioned by the source, it was further noted that WWE is looking forward to bringing fresh nostalgic faces, and not the usual lineup of legends to ensure this coming night becomes a special occasion.
