WWE Saturday Night's Main Event May 2025: Match Card, Predictions

As the name of the show implies, Main Event will indeed take place on a Saturday night, handy for fans who have grown accustomed to WWE's PLEs permanently shifting from Sundays to Saturdays. As for which Saturday night, the next Main Event is slated to go down on May 24, 2025, so a pretty busy weekend for wrestling fans with NXT Battleground and AEW Double Or Nothing going head-to-head the following night. No competition for Main Event on the Saturday with the main card starting at 8 pm EST.

How Can I Watch Saturday Night's Main Event?

While you need to go to Netflix to watch Raw live from now on, wherever you are in the world, that will not be the case for Saturday Night's Main Event. The good news for long-time fans in the US is that, just like WWE PLEs, Main Event will air live on Peacock, and you will also be able to watch it on NBC. YouTube appears to be the home of Main Event elsewhere, and that's presumably where this edition of the semi-regular show will air live outside of the US.

Where Is Saturday Night's Main Event Taking Place?

Saturday Night's Main Event doesn't have a spiritual home. Much like Raw and SmackDown, it moves from place to place, and this time, it's Tampa, Florida's turn to host the show. Tampa's Yuengling Center, to be exact. There are still tickets available for the show at Ticketmaster starting from $170. Since Battleground the following night and then Raw the night after that will emanate from the same building, there are also three-day bundles available that will get you into all three events.

Jey Uso vs. Logan Paul For The World Heavyweight Championship

Prediction: Jey Uso Wins, I Hope

Logan Paul is feeling full of himself after picking up one of the biggest wins of his career over AJ Styles at WrestleMania, even if he needed a helping hand to get it done. So much so that the YouTuber thinks he deserves another shot at becoming a World Champion. Paul will get that shot at Saturday Night's Main Event against World Champion, Jey Uso.

Uso has even more reason to be big-headed post-Mania. Not only is he the World Champion, but he successfully defended the title against Seth Rollins since then. My guess is that Paul won't pose a bigger challenge than Rollins did, so Uso should pick up a relatively easy win. That's a tiny part of me that feels like that might not be the case, but an Uso win still feels like the most likely outcome.

CM Punk And Sami Zayn vs. Seth Rollins And Bron Breakker

Prediction: Heyman Guys For The Win

Seth Rollins aligned himself with Paul Heyman at WrestleMania, and then Bron Breakker joined their ranks the night after. We thought that would lead to a match between the new Heyman Guys and CM Punk and Roman Reigns. However, with The Tribal Chief absent, Punk has had to turn to someone else.

Lucky for him, Sami Zayn has run afoul of Rollins and Breakker, too. That means it'll be him and Punk up against Heyman's alliance at Main Event. My guess is even though Rollins already has one up on Punk after WrestleMania, the goal here is to keep him and Breakker looking strong. I'd love to see Punk and Zayn get one over on them, but I don't think that's what WWE has in store.

John Cena vs. R-Truth

Prediction: R-Truth Gets His Heart Broken By His Childhood Hero

R-Truth has had a hard couple of months. He's had to sit by and watch his childhood hero John Cena turn heel and act in a way he has never seen him act before. Truth got on the wrong end of that at Backlash after trying to help Cena retain his title. Cena repaid poor truth by giving him an AA through the announce desk.

That has led to Truth vs. Cena at Main Event. A match that will be hard for Truth to compete in, and one that will likely leave his heart even more broken once it's done after Cena dismantles him. I do think we see another glimmer of doubt from Cena though - they're already starting to show - but not the full turn back to babyface. Not yet.

Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest In A Steel Cage Match

Prediction: Drew McIntyre Ends This Rivalry For Good

Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest have hated each other for over a year, ever since Priest cashed in on McIntyre at WrestleMania 40. Most of their time since then has been spent either at each other's throats, or intentionally getting in one another's way. Hopefully, this match will finally bring an end to all that as the two of them finally settle their differences inside a steel cage.

While it was Hell in a Cell, not a cage, the work McIntyre did with CM Punk the last time he stepped in a structure like this makes me think this one will be match of the night at Main Event. These men hate each other, and they'll do everything they can to demonstrate that here. It will be McIntyre who leaves the cage victorious, though.
