On a thrilling Saturday night, WWE rolled out Saturday Night’s Main Event, featuring an electrifying four-match card, all competing for championships. The energy was palpable as fans settled in for a night of high-stakes wrestling action.
The night kicked off with CM Punk facing off against Jey Uso for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship. Both competitors delivered an exceptional performance, showcasing their skills and determination. Punk ultimately triumphed, defeating Uso after a hard-fought battle that included multiple G2S maneuvers, finishing the match with an impressive grade of 92 out of 100.
Following this intense showdown, John Cena appeared via a pre-recorded segment to discuss his final opponent. In a surprising twist, he announced that instead of a direct challenge, his last match will be determined through a 16-man tournament set to commence on November 10 in Boston. This tournament promises to feature big names from WWE and beyond, generating excitement among fans about potential matchups.
Next up was a highly-anticipated triple threat match for the Intercontinental Championship, pitting Dominick Mysterio against Rusev and Penta. This encounter proved to be a thrilling spectacle, with Mysterio outsmarting his opponents for a well-deserved victory. The match received high praise, also scoring a solid 92 out of 100, and showcased Mysterio’s intelligence and agility over the more dominant physical threats in Rusev and Penta.
The action continued as Jade Cargill took on Tiffany Stratton for the Women’s Championship. Cargill, maintaining her new villainous persona, displayed sheer dominance throughout the match despite Stratton’s best efforts. Cargill’s victory over the injured champion not only solidified her position as a formidable threat but also earned her an impressive score of 84 out of 100.
The evening concluded with the WWE Championship match between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre, which was slightly underwhelming according to critics, receiving a grade of 75 out of 100. A controversial ending saw Rhodes retain his title after a series of near falls, highlighting the ongoing narrative of tension around his character.
The event marked an exciting return to live programming on Peacock, a platform providing fans with the much-anticipated wrestling action they crave. With future matches and tournaments on the horizon, it’s clear that WWE continues to deliver thrilling entertainment for its supporters.
