Card Preview & Predictions for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event
WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event XL is starting to take shape. Below, we break down each key matchup as they are announced and share predictions for each match:
World Heavyweight Championship: Gunther (c) vs. Goldberg
World Heavyweight Champion Gunther prepares for his toughest challenge yet as he takes on WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg.
Tensions boiled over at WWE Bad Blood 2024. Gunther had exchanged heated words with Goldberg and his son, Gage, who were seated ringside. What started as verbal jabs nearly escalated into a physical confrontation. One week after reclaiming the title from Jey Uso, Gunther was surprised on the June 16 episode of Raw. Goldberg returned to deliver his signature warning: “You’re next!”. With the matchup now official, the two will clash in Atlanta, the same city where it all began.
This match is especially intriguing. Much like Charlotte Flair, one of life’s certainties seems to be Goldberg returning and snatching championship gold out of nowhere. WWE clearly gave the title back to Gunther just in time for this long-rumored showdown. But if Gunther loses here, the loss could damage the momentum and mystique he’s built.
Whether it’s a passing-of-the-torch moment or another Goldberg shocker… How this plays out could have major implications for the World Heavyweight Championship picture.
Quick Pick Predictions:
- Joey & Rags: Gunther
Randy Orton vs. Drew McIntyre
Randy Orton will try to land his deadly strike on the dangerous Drew McIntyre this Saturday Night’s Main Event. McIntyre made a bold return to SmackDown on July 4 by interrupting Orton and Cody Rhodes. Orton was clearly not having it and hit a sudden RKO, setting up what should be another memorable battle between these two rivals.
There has been constant talk of Orton turning heel again, and many hope this match will finally push him over the edge. While McIntyre’s return makes it unlikely he will lose, this fight is expected to be a thrilling encounter.
Quick Pick Predictions:
- Joey & Rags: Drew McIntyre
Seth Rollins vs. LA Knight
LA Knight will face Seth Rollins on Saturday Night’s Main Event. The rivalry has been intense ever since the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, where Rollins, aided by Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, secured the win and stopped Knight from becoming Mr. Money in the Bank.
Since then, the two have traded attacks weekly, with Knight catching Rollins off guard on the June 30 episode of Raw. Breakker and Reed also attacked LA on the go-home episode of SmackDown. But this Saturday, will mark Seth and Knight’s first-ever one-on-one clash.
Rollins and his new faction seem nearly unbeatable right now. While it’s hard to imagine LA Knight coming out on top, this match could easily steal the show. Which Superstar will leave Atlanta with the victory?
Quick Pick Predictions:
- Joey & Rags: Seth Rollins
United States Championship: Solo Sikoa (c) vs. Jimmy Uso
Solo Sikoa defends the United States Title against his older brother, Jimmy Uso, in a heated family battle. Can Jimmy take the gold from his younger, brash sibling?
With The Bloodline storyline likely heading toward a dramatic War Games showdown, this match feels like the first step toward Survivor Series. Seeing Solo lose the title so soon seems unlikely unless Jacob steps in to shake things up. But it’s wild to think Jimmy hasn’t had his own singles title run yet. It’s only a matter of time before that changes though…
