The following matches are advertised for the WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event special that will be held tonight in Washington, D.C. at Capital One Arena.
-John Cena vs. Gunther in Cena’s last match
-WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. NXT Champion Oba Femi
-World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Dragon Lee vs. Je’Von Evans and Leon Slater in a non-title match
-Bayley vs. Sol Ruca
Powell’s POV: Gunther won the 16-man The Last Time Is Now tournament to earn the right to face Cena in his final match. WWE will hold a two-hour countdown show at 5CT/6ET, and there will also be a post show. Join me for my live review as Saturday Night’s Main Event streams live on Peacock (and Netflix internationally) at 7CT/8ET. Jake Barnett and I will team up for a same-night audio review that will be available as this week’s Pro Wrestling Boom podcast.
I hope everything goes as planned for Cena. Scratch that. I hope things go great for Cena, and he’s happy. TKO WWE plans have not been stellar this entire retirement.
A Nexus reunion, or at least a verbal confrontation with Wade, who is killing it on commentary, would have been fun.
Is there a countdown show? It’s not showing up on Peacock. Just says SNME starts at 8:00 eastern.
Just finished Collision, but I believes it’s on YouTube.
