Jesse Venturas absence from Saturday Nights Main Event hasnt gone unnoticedbut a new report suggests it wasnt just one offhand comment that caused trouble.
According to Fightful Select, Hulk Hogans name came up behind the scenes as a major factor in Ventura being left off the most recent broadcast.
Ventura was missing from the November 1, 2025 episode of SNME, despite regularly appearing on earlier shows. While WWE hasnt officially explained the situation, Dave Meltzer noted Venturas future with the program is uncertain after his blunt on-air criticism of a match finish months ago. That momentwhere he questioned the logic of winning a cage match by walking through the doorrubbed WWE management the wrong way.
But Fightful Select now reports the real story is more layered. Sources claim multiple reasons factored into Ventura being removed from the show, and one of them involved Hogan.
Jesse Venturas mouth may have finally written a check WWE didnt feel like cashingand with Hulk Hogans name creeping into the story, its hard not to feel like theres more smoke than fire here. Whether it was ego, politics, or just clashing philosophies, Venturas run on Saturday Nights Main Event looks like its in the rearview mirror.
