WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event Preview And Predictions: Will Cody Rhodes Or Gunther Fall This Weekend?

Sami Zayn vs. Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre wasted no time making an impact upon his return to action, and that impact came at the expense of Sami Zayn. Now Sami is looking for a measure of payback against The Scottish Psychopath. Although Sami has a history of overcoming the odds, this may be a tall order even for him to overcome. I expect Drew to make a huge statement and come away with a decisive victory.

Finals of the Women’s United States Championship Tournament

As of this writing, the tournament has come down to the final four. And come Friday night on Smackdown, it’ll be down to two. The winner of Bayley vs. Chelsea Green will take on the winner of Michin vs. Tiffany Stratton to crown the inaugural Women’s U.S. Champion. If I’m consulting my crystal ball here, I’m picking Green and Michin to advance to the finals (especially given their feud history) with Green etching her name into the history books.

Liv Morgan vs. IYO SKY

IYO SKY is no stranger to championship gold and her recent victory in the #1 contender’s battle royal has gotten her this opportunity to call herself champion once again. But Morgan, the reigning title holder, has been having a career year and will not make it easy on the challenger. With so many outside factors in play here, from Raquel Rodriguez to Rhea Ripley, expect to see a lot of shenanigans with the champ squeaking out a successful defense.

Gunther vs. Finn Balor vs. Damian Priest

Finn Balor has recently made it his business to become a thorn in the side of World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. The champ has not taken kindly to Balor sticking his nose in his business. Resulting in Balor being granted a title opportunity. However, the inclusion of Balor’s rival and former stablemate, Damian Priest, turns this into an even more unstable affair. As dominant as Gunther has been in his WWE run, I’m predicting a title change here with Balor sneaking away with the win and the title.

Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens

These two former friends have been at each other’s throats for weeks on Smackdown. Making things very personal ahead of their title clash. Rhodes’ incredible year has seen him turn away a litany of worthy challengers. But Owens has brought a fire that has threatened to consume them both. That being said, as focused and heated as Owens seems to be headed into this contest, I expect Rhodes to keep his momentum going and continue his run at the top.
