We’re less than a month away from the return of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event and anticipation for the show is at an all time high. Recently there’s been a lot of talk about Cody Rhodes potentially defending his Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens during the event, and today WWE confirmed that the title match will be happening.
WWE posted the following announcement confirming the match for Saturday Night’s Main Event next month:
“Cody Rhodes will go head-to-head with Kevin Owens as Saturday Night’s Main Event returns to NBC.
Once united with The American Nightmare against The Bloodline, Owens felt betrayed when Rhodes decided to team with their mutual adversary Roman Reigns against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu of the reconfigured faction. After Rhodes and Reigns won that historic tag team match at WWE Bad Blood, KO savagely attacked the Undisputed WWE Champion in the parking lot.
Owens then turned his rage against Randy Orton and put The Viper out of action with an illegal piledriver. Despite his egregious behavior, Owens insisted the The American Nightmare was to blame for everything and that the Undisputed WWE Title had caused Rhodes to lose his way.
Rhodes was determined to make Owens pay, and when they finally came face-to-face, he issued the challenge that could only be settled on Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Don’t miss the return of the iconic Saturday Night’s Main Event, Saturday, Dec. 14, at 8/7 C on NBC and simulcast on Peacock, LIVE at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island, N.Y., the site of the first-ever Saturday Night’s Main Event.”
There's no love lost between these two. @CodyRhodes will defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against @FightOwensFight at Saturday Night's Main Event!
LONG ISLAND, NY
