WWE is set to host its final Saturday Night’s Main Event of the year in Washington, DC, in December 2025. As fans prepare for the highly anticipated show, a new report suggests that a legend is no longer under contract with the company. The veteran in question is Jesse “The Body” Ventura.

Last year, WWE revived Saturday Night’s Main Event as a Peacock special under the Triple H-led creative regime. Several legends and veterans appeared on the show, including Jesse Ventura, who lent his voice to the commentary booth for these events moving forward.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON), it is believed that the WWE Hall of Famer is no longer under contract with the Stamford-based promotion. His previous deal, which lasted one year, has expired ahead of the final Saturday Night’s Main Event of 2025.

The decision was reportedly made some time ago, following his last performance at the event. Ventura called the match between Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest inside a Steel Cage, marking the end of his tenure as a commentator for WWE.

### What Happened When Jesse Ventura Commented on WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in May 2025?

Earlier this year, Drew McIntyre spent weeks feuding with Damian Priest, leading into WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. The Scottish Warrior won their first bout in Nevada, but their rivalry continued on WWE’s blue brand for several more weeks. After facing each other in a Sin City Street Fight, management booked a Steel Cage match between the two, which took place in May 2025 during Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Jesse “The Body” Ventura acted as one of the commentators for this high-stakes match. During the broadcast, he went on a memorable rant when Damian Priest won the match by walking out the door.

Back in the old days, Ventura explained, superstars would fight until someone was pinned, submitted, or escaped from the top of the cage. However, the rules have changed significantly since Ventura left the commentary booth, and the finish caught the veteran by surprise.

It will be interesting to see what’s next for Jesse Ventura as he steps away from WWE commentary after a memorable run. Fans and insiders alike will be watching closely to see where this legendary figure heads in the future.
