After the festivities of Halloween have ended, the WWE audience will have yet another Saturday Night’s Main Event to look forward to. WWE has done a great job of integrating this show back into its programming. It has become a welcome break from the larger PLEs and a fantastic stroll down memory lane. For those of us at a certain age, anyway.
Each Saturday Night’s Main Event has had its own allure for the wrestling world, and November 1st’s edition is no different. WWE has stacked a phenomenal card filled with all championship matches. Three world titles and the Intercontinental strap will be decided on Saturday. It will make for a fantastic night of wrestling, and hopefully, a few surprises will take place. If you are on the fence about whether to tune in, here are some reasons why Saturday Night’s Main Event should be on your television screen.
Seth Rollins’ injury is regrettable, but at the very least, it gave us this showdown for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship. A match between two men with a ton of history, and both are desperate to capture the championship and maintain their position atop World Wrestling Entertainment.
CM Punk and Jey Uso are two men with little to lose. We have seen an edge to both men’s characters in recent weeks, giving us the impression that they will do anything to capture the championship. This provides for an interesting dynamic as we head into Saturday Night’s Main Event. Uso and Punk are going to do whatever it takes to emerge victorious, and that could mean breaking a few rules along the way. On Saturday night, we will see one of these men bring home the World Championship that they so desire.
The long-standing program between Tiffy Statton and Jade Cargill hasn’t exactly been blowing anyone away. The hype surrounding their previous matches hasn’t fulfilled its promise, but that trend has been curbed for Saturday Night’s Main Event. The main reason was the welcome heel turn from Cargill on SmackDown. It breathed new life into the issues between the two women and has made their match one to watch come Saturday.
Jade Cargill is a tailor-made heel. She has found her edge, and this is the character that the world wants to see. There will be no tweener present during this match, only a straight-up babyface versus heel program. Tiffy Stratton and Jade Cargill have become interesting again. How it will play out at Saturday Night’s Main Event will be an interesting one.
Saturday Night’s Main Event has been a lot of fun since its return to WWE programming. The nostalgia has been spot on, and WWE has created some great moments. A major issue, however, has been the company jamming too many matches on the card. The show doesn’t have the long runtime that PLEs do, and thus, we have been given matches that should be longer than they are.
With only four matches on the card, the wrestlers should be given more time to create greatness. Saturday Night’s Main Event has been fun, but it has been lacking that classic match to make it a must-watch show. Hopefully, WWE sticks to four contests and gives the men and women the time necessary to create some magic.
For some strange reason, heels never learn. When Dominik Mysterio sparked interference in the number one contenders’ match between Rusev and Penta, we knew what was going to happen. Naturally, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce announced a triple threat match for this Saturday, giving both Rusev and Penta their opportunity.
Dominik Mysterio has been able to squeak out victories along his Intercontinental Championship reign. At every turn, he has been lucky to eek out the win, but this Saturday, that luck could run out. With two men vying to take his championship away, there might be no way out for the younger Mysterio. Of course, Dominik Mysterio could pull another rabbit out of his hat and shock the world. There is only one way to find out, and that’s by making sure your television is tuned into Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Drew McIntyre has brought out the animal in Cody Rhodes. His sneak attacks and dastardly promos have given Rhodes a mean streak that we haven’t seen before. It has been a welcome change to the babyface that we have grown accustomed to. It should also help to make their WWE Championship match one of the best of the year.
There has been so much animosity between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre. The Scottish Psychopath has this innate quality to get under even the strongest of men’s skin, and Cody Rhodes has been the biggest victim. There has been so much hatred shared between these men, and they will no doubt turn this into a brutal WWE Championship match.
This isn’t going to be a wrestling match, just a down-and-dirty brawl. It will be fun to see what Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre can come up with at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Hopefully, it will be the first of many encounters.
