WWE is set to host an exciting edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event two weeks from now, just ahead of SummerSlam. The show will take place from the iconic Madison Square Garden and fans can expect major things. WWE pulls out all stops when it comes to the shows at MSG. With this edition of SNME serving as a prelude to The Biggest Party of the Summer, it can only get bigger.
Triple H is expected to stack the card with some blockbuster matches and championship showdowns. While projecting the lineup this early is always a moving target, the ongoing developments and the breadcrumbs are already painting a fascinating picture of the chaos to come. WWE may be planning to leave no stone unturned for the upcoming event at The Garden.
Thanks for the submission!
Predicting the full matchcard for Saturday Night’s Main Event XLV:
#5. Dominik Mysterio vs. Chad Gable
The Intercontinental Championship picture has gotten quite interesting lately with multiple superstars involved in the mix. Last week on RAW, Chad Gable approached General Manager Adam Pearce, expressing his desire to get a shot at Penta’s IC Title. However, Dominik Mysterio interrupted him, claiming that if anyone should get a shot at the championship, it’s him.
Gable and Mysterio are expected to collide in a match very soon and that could happen on July 18 at Madison Square Garden. WWE could book the two superstars in a Number One Contender’s match at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Adam Pearce could reveal that the winner of that bout would earn a shot at the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam.
#4. Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria
Monday Night Raw witnessed a shocking betrayal last week when Lyra Valkyria turned on Bayley. The 29-year-old snapped right after losing the Women’s Tag Team Championship match. A frustrated Valkyria unleashed a brutal attack on her former partner, breaking their long-time alliance. WWE could cook this story in the upcoming episodes of RAW, showcasing its emotional depth.
This could eventually lead to a huge match between the two stars at the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event at Madison Square Garden. WWE could position this match on the card as one of the biggest highlights of the women’s division. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria, the two former best friends, could go against each other in an emotional showdown forged by loyalty and betrayal.
#3. LA Knight vs. Seth Rollins [Number One Contender]
The biggest highlight of Saturday Night’s Main Event XLV could be a Number One Contender match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Assuming Oba Femi goes after the Undisputed WWE Championship, Roman Reigns would require a worthy opponent for his title at SummerSlam. The two names currently taking shots at the OTC are LA Knight and Seth Rollins.
There is a good possibility that WWE could book the two superstars in a high-stakes match at Saturday Night’s Main Event XLV. It could be a Number One Contender bout with the winner earning a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. Knight vs. Rollins is exactly the kind of match the shows at Madison Square Garden demand.
#2. Giulia vs. Blake Monroe at Saturday Night’s Main Event
Blake Monroe made a blockbuster debut on SmackDown last week after weeks of teases. The Glamour went right after Giulia, unleashing an unhinged attack on the latter. WWE may have sown the seeds of one of the biggest rivalries in the women’s division. With Madison Square Garden being the next big stop, there couldn’t be a better way for Monroe to make her main roster in-ring debut.
General Manager Nick Aldis could book the newcomer in a blockbuster clash with Giulia at the upcoming SNME on July 18th. The company could hype this as a big match on the card where Blake Monroe makes her in-ring debut. Although this appears to be the direction for now, it will be interesting to see how things shape up in the coming weeks for Monroe upon her SmackDown debut.
#1. Brock Lesnar vs. Sami Zayn [Undisputed WWE Championship]
The biggest match on the card for Saturday Night’s Main Event XLV could be Brock Lesnar taking on Sami Zayn for the Undisputed WWE Championship. While this match might look far-fetched at this point, the possibility of it happening depends entirely on which world title Oba Femi goes after at SummerSlam. Zayn recently captured the Undisputed WWE Title in a shocking moment at Night of Champions.
But whispers are growing louder that his title reign could be short-lived, as WWE may be planning to pull off another jaw-dropping shocker ahead of The Biggest Party of the Summer. According to rumors, Lesnar may dethrone Sami right before SummerSlam and stand tall as the new Undisputed WWE Champion. Right after that, Oba Femi could challenge The Beast Incarnate for the coveted title at the annual summer spectacle, leading to their trilogy.
The above matches are entirely predictions and the possibility of them happening at Saturday Night’s Main Event depends on the current storyline progressions.
