WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event is returning this December 14th, 2024 after well over 16 years. The event is set to take place at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, New York and is expected to be a blockbuster show for the fans of the past and present.
The company has already loaded the show with several top championship matches with superstars like Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, Iyo Sky, and the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. Moreover, there have been speculations regarding making the vintage show even more special with the addition of WWE Legends. Let us look at those names who might return for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.
1. Goldberg
Goldberg is one of the most respected veterans in the business. Recently, the reigning and defending WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther had a heated face-off with the WWE Hall of Famer at WWE Bad Blood 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia. Since then, there have been rumblings of a potential match between the duo that will take place at a later date.
Gunther is set to take on Finn Balor for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in one of the high-profile matches at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. The Ring General is expected to retain his title at the show and could be confronted by a returning Goldberg, who could challenge the champion for a match down the line.
2. Trish Stratus
Trish Stratus pioneered women’s wrestling in an era when women were treated nothing more than eye candy. Her fight for equality earned her so much respect and popularity from the WWE Universe that she became the greatest WWE Women’s Champion of all time.
The former seven-time Women’s Champion proved that she still has a lot of gas left in the tank when she last stepped inside a WWE ring in her iconic steel cage match with Becky Lynch. Stratus could return at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event to confront Liv Morgan who has expressed a huge desire to face the Diva of the Dace several times in the past.
3. The Rock
The Rock’s return changed the trajectory of WrestleMania 40 when he made his surprising return to the WWE this past February. The Final Boss teamed up with Roman Reigns to face Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins at WrestleMania. Now, The Rock can potentially return at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event to shake the entire WWE roster.
Most recently, The Rock made his huge return to the WWE in the final moments of WWE Bad Blood 2024 when he appeared on the show after Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes won their tag team match against The New Bloodline. The Rock could appear at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event after Rhodes’ match against Kevin Owens to once again shake up the WWE landscape, leaving the fans buzzing.
4. Jesse Ventura
There has been immense buzz about WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event show among the WWE Universe. The show will be a callback to the popular late-night series of the 1980s that used to air on NBC and Fox. Now, fans are wondering if WWE will be bringing back any legends from the 1980s, an era known as the ‘Golden Era’.
It has been rumoured for a very long time that WWE Hall of Famer Jesse Ventura is all set to appear at the WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event to bring nostalgia to the event. Another name that has apparently been rumoured to return to the event is the Iconic manager and WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Hart.
