Keeping the tradition intact of hosting minimum matches, WWE has inserted only four matches to the match card of Saturday Nights Main Event 2024 specials on the NBC/Peacock set for next weekend. While at least one further match is expected to be announced, rumors are there regarding multiple legendary names being available on the show.
Reports are already out regarding Saturday Nights Main Event 2024 being a tribute show to the inaugural special that first aired nearly 40 years ago at the very same venue that the returning edition is occurring in New York. WWE has inserted title bouts into the stacked card, but the spotlight might have to be shared with some of the old-school legends rumored to make an appearance on the show.
