WWE Wrestler Bo Dallas on how he keeps brother Bray Wyatt's legacy alive

WWE wrestler Bo Dallas tells USA TODAY Sports' Jordan Mendoza how his Uncle Howdy character keeps Bray Wyatt's legacy alive.

Saturday night is indeed all right for fighting.

WWE is bringing an old school event back to a nationwide audience tonight: Saturday Night's Main Event, being staged for the first time since 2008. An event that helped grow wrestling in the United States in the 1980s, it briefly came back in the mid-2000s. Now, 16 years after the last iteration, it returns to the place where it all began.

The card will be like Saturday Night's Main Events of the past with meaningful matches taking place, with some of the top titles on the line. Cody Rhodes will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against a now-rival in Kevin Owens, and World Heavyweight Champion Gunther and Women's World Champion Liv Morgan will also be in title matches. Also, the first Women's United States Champion will be crowned in a monumental moment for the women's division.

USA TODAY Sports will have the results of what happens at Saturday Night's Main Event, but here is some info to know ahead of the event.

In the 1980s, if there was an event that had WrestleMania-worthy matches not at WrestleMania and for a nationwide audience, it was Saturday Night's Main Event.

As wrestling continued to grow across the country and WWE strengthened its position as the top company in the U.S., Saturday Night's Main Event was a way to showcase the biggest stars getting in the ring against each other. Typically held on NBC, it allowed millions of people a rare opportunity to tune in.

The show was a success and multiple shows a year would take place from 1985-1992. After a hiatus, it was brought back in 2006 and a couple more shows took place over the next few years. Now, in 2024, it's back and appears to be something WWE is going to try to hold continuously; another Saturday Night's Main Event will be held on Jan. 25 in San Antonio.

A familiar voice will be on the call for Saturday Night's Main Event.

WWE Hall of Famer Jesse Ventura will be back to put on the headset Saturday night. The former governor of Minnesota was a commentator for WWE after his wrestling career and was featured in the early editions of Saturday Night's Main Event.

History will be made on Saturday night with the crowning of the first Women's United States Championship. For months, fans have been calling on WWE to introduce a mid-card title to the women's division, and now it's finally here.

To determine the first champion, a tournament was held with the finals taking place on Saturday night between Chelsea Green and Michin. Here is how the tournament played out:
