WWE returns to network television and Peacock tonight with a blockbuster Saturday Night’s Main Event emanating live from the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah — a card that could reshape the landscape of the company heading into the final stretch of 2025. With two world titles in play, a marquee women’s championship clash, and a volatile Intercontinental Title triple threat, this special event is positioned as one of the most pivotal nights of WWE’s fall season.

Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre — Undisputed WWE Championship

After surviving a turbulent summer of challengers, The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes now stands across from one of his most dangerous adversaries yet — The Scottish Warrior Drew McIntyre.

Their history runs deep: from shared locker rooms and mutual respect to resentments born from McIntyre’s belief that he’s been overlooked despite carrying the company through the pandemic era. This personal animosity has intensified in recent weeks on SmackDown, culminating in heated confrontations and physical brawls.

Tonight, the Undisputed WWE Championship is on the line with a rare stipulation — the title can change hands by count-out or disqualification. That wrinkle, announced on Friday, ensures neither man can rely on an easy escape. Expect a physical, emotionally charged battle where Rhodes’ resilience and McIntyre’s brute power will tell the story. The finish could dictate WWE’s direction heading into Survivor Series and beyond.

CM Punk vs. Jey Uso — Vacant World Heavyweight Championship

Following Seth Rollins’ injury and subsequent forfeiture of the World Heavyweight Title, WWE will crown a new champion tonight — and the matchup could not be more symbolic of the current era. CM Punk, the returning antihero whose words still cut like glass, faces Main Event Jey Uso, the breakout babyface whose momentum has electrified fans since breaking from The Bloodline.

This battle isn’t just for gold; it’s for validation. For Punk, it’s the chance to reclaim the top spot he’s long felt denied. For Jey, it’s the opportunity to prove he belongs on the biggest stage alone. Their clash has been meticulously built through tension-filled promos and mutual respect laced with competitive fire.

Expect a big-fight atmosphere — and potentially, the spark of WWE’s next major rivalry if outside interference or controversial finishes come into play.

Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Jade Cargill — WWE Women’s Championship

In what could define the future of WWE’s women’s division, the confident and increasingly polished Tiffany Stratton defends her Women’s Championship against powerhouse newcomer Jade Cargill.

Stratton, whose reign has been marked by arrogance and dominance, now faces her most formidable challenger yet. Cargill — undefeated since her official WWE debut — brings star power, crossover appeal, and a commanding presence that has fans and management alike buzzing.

This showdown represents a true passing-of-the-torch moment: can Stratton solidify herself as the definitive face of the division, or will Jade’s ascension begin tonight with championship gold around her waist? Either outcome will have ripple effects across Raw and SmackDown’s women’s rosters.

Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. Penta El Zero Miedo vs. Rusev — Intercontinental Championship

Dominik Mysterio’s brash arrogance has fueled one of the longest-running Intercontinental Title reigns in recent memory, but his survival instincts will be pushed to the limit in this triple threat contest.

Penta El Zero Miedo adds chaos and unpredictability, while the returning Rusev (Miro) brings brute force and veteran savvy to the mix. In a match where no champion’s advantage exists — since the title can change hands without Dominik being pinned — every move will matter.

For Dominik, victory would further legitimize his reign as one of WWE’s most despised yet durable champions. A loss, however, could mark the end of the “Dirty Dom” era and the beginning of a new chapter for the Intercontinental Title.

What Else to Watch For

• Survivor Series Teasers: Expect cross-brand tension and possible teases of upcoming elimination matches.
• The Bloodline Fallout: Even with Roman Reigns absent, his shadow looms large — will The Bloodline’s remaining members make their presence felt tonight?
• Tag Team Turmoil Brewing: Recent chaos among the tag division could lead to a new title feud being born tonight.
• Punk and Jey Post-Match Direction: Whether clean or controversial, the fallout from the World Heavyweight Title match will shape Monday Night Raw for months to come.

Final Thoughts

Saturday Night’s Main Event (Nov. 1, 2025) stands as more than nostalgia — it’s WWE’s chance to redefine its championship hierarchy before the year closes.

Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre fight for legacy, CM Punk and Jey Uso fight for destiny, Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill fight for dominance, and Dominik Mysterio fights for survival.

By night’s end, the power structure of WWE could look entirely different — and fans may be witnessing the birth of a new main-event era.
