WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event Gets a Shoutout During Sunday Night Football

WWE’s upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14 is already making waves, and the hype has now spilled over into mainstream sports.

During the Sunday Night Football broadcast on NBC featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers, one of the commentators gave the retro-themed wrestling event a shoutout as the game returned from a commercial break.

The unexpected plug highlighted WWE’s return to the iconic Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, celebrating nearly 40 years since the first Saturday Night’s Main Event. But the commentator didn’t stop there, closing the mention with a cheeky remark: “Back to grown-up things,” as the game resumed. The quip added a playful twist to the crossover moment and sparked reactions from fans of both sports and wrestling.

With speculation already swirling about appearances from legends like Hulk Hogan and Wendy Richter, WWE’s event is shaping up to be a nostalgic nod to its roots while grabbing the attention of a wider audience.
