WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event is officially sold out, and fans in attendance are being treated to an unforgettable throwback experience.
A backstage banner celebrates the sellout with a graphic of the night's marquee match -- Kevin Owens vs. Cody Rhodes.
The merch table is stacked with retro-inspired gear, offering fans a chance to relive the magic of wrestling's golden age. Shirts include a classic Saturday Night's Main Event logo, a Greg Valentine design featuring an image from an old '80s WWF program, and a Tito Santana shirt. There's even a Jimmy Hart shirt so pink it might burn your retinas, plus a Long Island 3:16 shirt and a Cody Rhodes-themed Long Island tee. Fans looking to bundle up can snag a SNME Long Island hoodie.
WWE has gone all-in on recreating the old-school vibes, with a digital board featuring an '80s-style version of the WWE logo displayed on the ring canvas and entranceway. They've even brought back the iconic 1990-style entrance used during the WWF Superstars era, ditching the massive Titantron for a simple long aisle leading directly to the ring, just like the classic Nassau Coliseum house shows.
And if that wasn't enough to get fans amped, pyro is set up inside the ring for the show's opening, promising to kick things off with a bang. From the entranceway to the ring gear, every detail is designed to transport fans back in time.
