WWE

An update on Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura’s WWE status ahead of his return to commentary at Saturday Night’s Main Event next weekend.

WWE Hall of Famer Jesse Ventura signed a legend’s contract with WWE a number of months ago, and has made two appearances on WWE television on a Raw show in Minnesota, as well as last week’s SmackDown in the state.

Last week, it was announced that Jesse would be lending his iconic commentary voice to the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event show this weekend, which would mark his 26th time calling the event in his career.

It was not known whether Jesse calling the show would be a one off, or if he would be calling all Saturday Night’s Main Event shows in the future, and we now have an answer.

Speaking on the Bill Simmons Podcast, Jesse said that he ‘can say anything he wants about anyone’ on the show, as well as confirming he will be doing four shows a year.

He said:

“Handcuffs are off, I can say anything I want about anyone. I am, I’m very excited about it (WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event). I don’t discuss finances, but it’s acceptable and I’ll be doing four a year,”

When WWE announced the return of Saturday Night’s Main Event, it was announced that four specials would take place a year, confirming that Jesse will be on commentary for all of them.
