The energy is electric tonight in Tampa as WWE brings back its iconic Saturday Night’s Main Event, live from the Yuengling Center and streaming on Peacock. If you couldn’t tell, this happens to be the 39th edition of the memorable NBC event, and not only that the match card is ripped with petty quarrels, suspense and big-time stakes. This is the event you were watching when you saw Cheryl on TV the other day.
Short version summing up what’s said, is it possible to have a similar one-liner. Sounds more like it was our Cheryl on TV the other day.
Centering the chaos of tonight’s event is one and only the social media mogul turned WWE disruptor Logan Paul, who will go head-to-head with Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship. If the mere statement didn’t arouse your curiosity, then just imagine what else is in store on the card for the night.
Logan Paul vs. Jey Uso: From Internet Fame to WWE Gold?
This is no prank. Logan Paul has been respectable in the WWE rings already, but tonight can bring the biggest victory yet in his career. The opponent of Paul is the most resistant wrestler in WWE history, who is also a WrestleMania 41 winner Jey Uso.
The statements he has been repeating over and over and also been posting on his social media platforms have been obvious in that he is there on one last mission for shocking the world. On a personal note, there is an almost virtual symbol of Logan Paul grabbing the world’s first prize of WWE from Saturday Night’s Main Event that hasn’t stopped the internet from commenting on this. Number of ‘Logan Paul WWE title match’ Google search requests has made a 100% jump for the current week only.
John Cena Turns Heel—But Can R-Truth Bring Him Back?
The scenario that is the most emotionally engaging during the entire night is the one that has Cena as the protagonist and maybe not a beloved one. He indeed adopted some darker traits over the last month or two and now he has a completely different look. However, R-Truth hasn’t given up yet and he is the only one who still believes that Cena can return to his usual self.
R-Truth, one of Cena’s biggest fans, is sure that the “real” John is not lost and today he faces him in the wrestling ring not to take the title but to bring back the friend’s soul.
There has been a lot of discussion amongst WWE fans about Cena’s conversion to the dark side, and as “Cena vs R-Truth Saturday Night’s Main Event” is making the rounds online, this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment in wrestling history.
Tag Team War: Punk & Zayn Want a Rematch with Rollins and Breakker
While the repercussions of WrestleMania 41 are clearly visible, the issue continues to escalate as CM Punk and Sami Zayn form a team against Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker, who are now being guided by Paul Heyman. No doubt, Punk is seeking one thing only — a chance to throw the book back in Heyman’s face, and tonight, he’s determined to win the respect he deserves as a wrestler.
With all the grudges, it would be no surprise if the tag match of the night turned out to be the battle between the 4 most aggressive warriors in WWE.
Steel Cage Showdown: Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre

Fans of both superstars have been dying for such a final showdown, and WWE has given them a word that this time it will happen.
Women’s U.S. Title Match: Vega vs. Green

This is a high-flying, aggressive and confident match that showcases the fresh talent that has been added to the rising women’s ranks.
