Jesse Ventura made a surprise return to WWE TV during last night’s Saturday Night’s Main Event, marking a momentous occasion in his career. Before the show, Ventura reflected on what was, to him, an unlikely return to the WWE fold. The WWE Hall of Famer took his place at the commentary table for the event, offering his signature insights and charisma to the broadcast. In an interview on The Bill Simmons Show last week, Ventura discussed how significant this return is for him, acknowledging the rarity and excitement of stepping back into the WWE spotlight after years away. For Ventura, this return felt like a full-circle moment, a testament to his long-lasting impact on the company and the wrestling world as a whole. His appearance on Saturday Night’s Main Event was a reminder of his unique place in WWE history and his undeniable presence both in and out of the ring.
Jesse Ventura said (h/t to Wrestling Inc). “
“Hell has frozen over because I never dreamed I would be back in the WWE — now WWF — until hell froze over, I had a friend Glenn Fry of the Eagles and I remember when the Eagles broke up they thought, ‘Oh it’s over. We’ll never hear another Eagle song, the differences are too much, they’ll never be able to mend fences.’ And lo and behold, Glenn got together and a way with Don Henley and a way they go, they came back.”
“I never believed in my wildest dreams I would be back doing wrestling again…for me it’s a full circle of my career, I can’t go back in the United States Navy where I spent my first six years…I can’t do that because there’s age limits.”
