Jesse Ventura thanks WWE.
Ahead of the July 29th episode of WWE Raw, Triple H revealed that Hall of Famer Jesse Ventura was in attendance at the show, which was held at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota. During the broadcast, the commentary team also highlighted Ventura's visit, and Michael Cole welcomed Ventura back to WWE. WWE's social media team used similar terminology.
Jesse Ventura took to Twiiter/X to note that it was true, as "The Body" was back home. He thanked Triple H and the WWE family. Ventura also tagged CM Punk and referenced his own unlikely return by saying that it looked like hell froze again again.
Yes, it's true. The Body is back home. Thank you @TripleH and the whole @WWE family. @CMPunk looks like hell froze over... again. https://t.co/dADFVfyYPP

In May, Ventura said that he was talking to WWE about a legends deal. Ventura transitioned into politics after his wrestling career, but he has occasionally made appearances over the years. Before July 29, he had not appeared on WWE programming in quite some time, but WWE started a new era when Triple H took over as the head of creative and Vince McMahon later resigned.
Fightful will provide more information as it becomes available.
