Saturday Night’s Main Event returns this weekend, marking the first time in nearly two decades WWE has revived their classic program. Never a weekly program, Saturday Night’s Main Event aired on NBC at various times of the year from 1985 to 1992 and was revived for a brief run starting in 2006.
Saturday’s card is built like a major WWE premium live event, with four championship matches as well as a grudge match between Drew McIntyre and Sami Zayn. The headliner sees Cody Rhodes looking to defend his undisputed WWE championship against longtime friend turned bitter rival Kevin Owens.
World heavyweight champion Gunther will have to fend off two challengers in a triple threat match against Finn Balor and Damian Priest. The former allies turned rivals have been at each other’s throats for months since Balor cost Priest the title at SummerSlam and prevented him from regaining the title at Survivor Series. Plus, women’s world champion Liv Morgan defends her crown against No. 1 contender Iyo Sky.
The first women’s United States champion will also be crowned on Saturday night when Chelsea Green takes on Michin after both advanced through the tournament to determine a titleholder.
