New match, HBK appearance set for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event
A new match is on tap for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on January 25, plus Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels will appear.
In a new bout set for next Saturday’s NBC and Peacock special, Braun Strowman and Jacob Fatu will lock horns. The bout was set up with an angle on this week’s SmackDown where Strowman and LA Knight brawled with The Bloodline’s Fatu and Tama Tonga in the ring.
WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels has also been added to the lineup for next Saturday’s show, serving as a special enforcer for a contract addendum signing between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens.
SmackDown GM Nick Aldis confronted both Owens and Rhodes on Friday’s SmackDown in an attempt to get both to sign an addendum — likely to ban the package piledriver in their upcoming ladder match at the Royal Rumble.
After both Rhodes and Owens refused to sign, Aldis declared that at SNME, both competitors will relinquish their WWE titles to be suspended above the ring at Royal Rumble, and that HBK will enforce the contract addendum signing.
The updated WWE SNME lineup for Saturday, January 25 in San Antonio:
- World Heavyweight Champion Gunther defends against Jey Uso
- WWE Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker defends against Sheamus
- Jacob Fatu vs. Braun Strowman
- Contract signing for Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens — Shawn Michaels special enforcer
