The next edition of Saturday Nightâ€s Main Event is going to be a big one, and has just gotten even bigger with the inclusion of a huge match for WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
During Fridayâ€s episode of WWE SmackDown, Drew McIntyre attempted to show up amidst his ongoing suspension. He pulled up into the backstage area of the show and was promptly met by Adam Pearce, Nick Aldis, and several WWE officials. As they argued, McIntyre was eventually forced back into his car, where Cody Rhodes had snuck in to wait.
Tomorrow night just got a whole lot bigger!

Rhodes attacked McIntyre and was eventually pulled from the car. McIntyre then drove off, leaving an irate Rhodes there. Later in the show, Rhodes would find himself a match for Saturday Nightâ€s Main Event in an unlikely way.
While backstage, Rhodes spoke with NXTâ€s Ricky Saints and Oba Femi. He then said that whoever won the NXT Championship at their match at tomorrowâ€s Deadline event would get to face him next weekend.
Alongside Rhodes†match, Bayley and Sol Ruca will also take part in singles action. The matches coincide with John Cenaâ€s wish to promote younger stars at the show, which will also be his last. Bayley and Sol Rucaâ€s match was also set backstage, with the two stars talking about facing off.
WWE Saturday Nightâ€s Main Event is set to take place on December 13, 2025. The show will be at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., and will feature John Cenaâ€s final match with WWE.
