Ventura's most recent appearance for the company was in 2009, when he served as a guest host for an episode of "Raw," a show which was main-evented by John Cena vs. Punk. He is also a former governor of the state of Minnesota, which is where last night's show was broadcast from. He served from 1999-2003, and would decide not to seek re-election to a second term.
