WWE is bringing back Saturday Night’s Main Event after nearly sixteen years. Thus, the promotion is planning to pull out all the stops to make the event as huge as possible. Several big names are already scheduled to make an appearance at the event. The latest on the list is reportedly Hulk Hogan‘s close friend and WWE Hall of Famer, Jimmy Hart.

According to PWInsider, Hart will be making an appearance at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Bringing on the 80-year-old is a great decision to appeal to some of the older fans of professional wrestling. After all, WWE promised a retro experience comprising retro graphics and classical music.

Hart has been synonymous with the event in the past, and there are few associated with the iconic show more than him. The Nassau Coliseum in New York is also a great choice for a venue for this show. Besides, the addition of matches such as Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens is surely going to make this a phenomenal show.

Since his days of hosting the show, Jimmy Hart has continued to be a vibrant presence in the wrestling world. His enthusiasm and energy make it seem like he hasn’t aged at all over the past few decades. Hart has made several appearances for WWE over the past few years. Although these have been relatively short, he is definitely a face that fans love to see time and again.

We will get a big New Day explosion match at Saturday Night’s Main Event, which is major. That’s a great match for that. That’s a perfect match for Saturday Night’s Main Event, I love that.

While it is already too late to add such a match to Survivor Series, Rosenberg predicted that this New Day match-up could take place at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Besides, a tag team breaking up and having a marquee match at a premium event is a tale as old as time in wrestling. It would surely be a great addition to this nostalgic show.
