Heel Turn Forces Title Match; Drew McIntyre’s Revenge & More

The 41st edition of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event is shaping up to be a star-studded event. Not only that, it will feature three major title matches involving some of the top names in the company.

First, CM Punk and Jey Uso will collide for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship following RAW General Manager Adam Pearce’s stripping of the former titleholder, Seth Rollins. The two have been on each other’s throats for months now as they both want to win the belt from the Visionary.

Now that Rollins will be gone for the foreseeable future, the November 1st extravaganza will be a perfect opportunity for Punk and Uso to reach their ultimate goal. The Second City Saint has been trying to solve his “Seth Rollins problem” while Main Event Jey looks to reclaim the championship he won from Gunther at WrestleMania 41.

On the other side, Cody Rhodes will defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against a bitter rival in Drew McIntyre. McIntyre has been desperate to end Rhodes’ “politics” and “propaganda” even after losing at Wrestlepalooza and on last week’s SmackDown (via disqualification).

The Scottish Warrior was also adamant that he was not the bad guy, but rather, the American Nightmare. This might be a perfect opportunity for him to seek revenge on the latter’s “wrongdoings” and “injustices” towards his name.

In addition, Saturday Night’s Main Event could be the final shot for McIntyre to win the richest prize in sports entertainment in front of a live crowd. For context, he held the WWE Championship during the pandemic era after beating Brock Lesnar on Night 2 of WrestleMania 36.

Finally, Tiffany Stratton will put her WWE Women’s Championship on the line against Jade Cargill, who recently embarked on a more vicious side. The title match was announced after The Storm launched a total obliteration on the Buff Barbie.

Cargill’s attack was a clear-cut message that she hasn’t forgotten about her failed attempts to capture the women’s championship against Stratton. Next week’s event could be the crowning moment of the 33-year-old to win her first major title in WWE.

An ongoing development has just surfaced as Tiffany Stratton suffered a knee injury following Jade Cargill’s attack on SmackDown. It will be interesting to see if the Buff Barbie will manage to defend her women’s championship against The Storm, despite not being one hundred percent healthy now.
