WWE is bringing back the iconic Saturday Night’s Main Event this December, and the company plans to infuse the show with a nostalgic flair. Reports from PWInsider suggest that WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Hart, a legendary figure from the original 1980s run of the show, is set to make a special appearance.
The event will take place on December 14 at the Nassau Coliseum in New York and will mark the first time Saturday Night’s Main Event airs on television since 2008. WWE is reportedly pulling out all the stops to give fans a classic experience, complete with retro graphics and the original theme music.
Jimmy Hart, famously known as “The Mouth of the South,” played a pivotal role during Saturday Night’s Main Event’s early years as a charismatic manager. While Hart has made occasional appearances in WWE over the years—his most recent being alongside Hulk Hogan at Raw is XXX in January 2023—his return to this historic show adds an extra layer of excitement.
This revival comes as part of WWE’s partnership with NBCUniversal, which also brought SmackDown back to the USA Network. Unlike recent iterations of Saturday Night’s Main Event, which were limited to live events, this year’s edition will be televised on NBC, giving fans across the country a chance to enjoy the spectacle.
