The highly anticipated return of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event just got a marquee matchup. WWE has confirmed an Undisputed WWE Championship clash between defending champion Cody Rhodes and challenger Kevin Owens. The event is scheduled for December 14 at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Long Island, NY. Currently, this is the sole match announced for the show.
Once allies in the battle against The Bloodline, Rhodes and Owens have become bitter enemies. Tensions escalated when Cody teamed up with Roman Reigns—Owens’ long-time rival—in a shocking turn of events at WWE Bad Blood. The unlikely duo emerged victorious against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu, but Owens felt betrayed by Cody’s decision and took matters into his own hands.
In a shocking moment, Owens brutally attacked Rhodes in the parking lot following their victory. His rampage didn’t stop there—KO targeted Randy Orton next, sidelining The Viper with a vicious illegal piledriver. Despite his actions, Owens blames Rhodes for his descent, accusing the Undisputed Champion of being corrupted by his obsession with the title.
Rhodes, unwilling to let Owens’ betrayal go unanswered, issued the challenge for a showdown on Saturday Night’s Main Event. The stage is set for an epic clash between two of WWE’s biggest stars.
Don’t miss the return of Saturday Night’s Main Event on Saturday, December 14, at 8/7c on NBC and Peacock. The event will broadcast live from the historic Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, the same venue that hosted the very first edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event. Mark your calendars for what promises to be an unforgettable night!
