00:00We have got on Saturday Night's Main Event for some stuff before.
00:03This feels like a good one.
00:05Let's get set for this next bit of nostalgia from the WWE in our preview.
00:23It is another edition of Saturday Night's Main Event going down this weekend.
00:27Four title matches on the card.
00:30Let's break it all down.
00:32Intercontinental title match.
00:33It is Dominic Mysterio against Penta against Rusev for the IC Championship.
00:40Dominic Mysterio is on another level as a character right now.
00:43I could see them wanting to get the belt off of him though.
00:46And giving a bit more of a boost to a Penta or a Rusev.
00:50I think we are at a point now where these guys kind of need the title to kind of elevate them a little bit more.
00:55Where Dom doesn't.
00:56Dom still has the, he's still the mega campeon from AAA.
01:01And I think that, I don't want to say he's outgrown the Intercontinental title.
01:06But I think there are other things he could do.
01:08And there are other guys who could benefit from it more at this time.
01:10You don't have to pin him in this one.
01:13I like it going to Rusev here.
01:15I think he has just so much upside, so much potential with him.
01:20Obviously, Penta does as well.
01:21But I think that the character Rusev really does benefit a lot from getting the IC title here.
01:27Obviously, we're going to have some kind of grande whatever.
01:30But I wonder if this kind of really drives in the fracture of the Judgment Day with Finn and JD and Dominic.
01:40It feels like we've just kind of been in a holding pattern, obviously, with Liv Morgan's injury.
01:43But I wonder if this one really does set that divide here a little bit.
01:47And you get some kind of a Finn Bauer involvement or something like that as well.
01:52And either Penta or Rusev get the win.
01:54I'm going to go with Rusev, though, in this spot to be the new Intercontinental Champion.
01:57The WWE Women's Championship on the line.
02:00Tiffany Stratton against Jade Cargill.
02:02Jade with the heel turn on Friday on SmackDown adds a little bit more intrigue to this than both of them trying to be kind of a tweener, babyface, heel dynamic.
02:12And I could see Jade winning the championship here.
02:16I think you go with that big move to make her a heel.
02:20I think you kind of have to run with it and give her the belt for a little bit.
02:23But I do still think that Tiffany's championship reign, aside from the WrestleMania stuff, is missing kind of a marquee moment.
02:32And that kind of marquee, okay, she is on top.
02:36She's one of the best wrestlers.
02:36Let's go.
02:37She hasn't really had that in the last little bit.
02:39The one concern I would have is beating her at back-to-back premium live events with Stephanie Vaqueror winning in Crown Jewel and now losing the belt to Jade Cargill.
02:48But I just, I feel like you kill a lot of momentum with Jade if you don't give her the belt.
02:53And I think you could actually build up Tiffany as a bit of a stronger babyface in more of the chase position, going after the championship again with Jade and build up a little bit more sympathy there.
03:02So I like Jade in this spot.
03:04I think Jade Cargill has a very good opportunity to win the championship here coming up on Saturday.
03:10And now we get to the two title matches.
03:12Undisputed championship.
03:13Cody Rhodes takes on Drew McIntyre.
03:17I just, I don't see them doing the change now.
03:21I know there's a lot of talk that Cody wanted to drop the belt to Drew on the event before Crown Jewel.
03:27Clash in Paris, I guess.
03:29So that obviously means that Cody is maybe thinking of life post-championship.
03:33Drew certainly would be deserving of a championship opportunity.
03:37So, look, it wouldn't be the biggest shock if Drew gets it.
03:43But I just, I don't see them doing that here.
03:45I've already predicted two title changes.
03:47We're going to have a new champion in the main event.
03:49It'd be wild to have four title changes on a Saturday night's main event.
03:52So I do think Cody stays the course and retains as the undisputed WWE champion.
03:59Then we go to the main event for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship.
04:02CM Punk going up against Jey Uso.
04:06A lot of very interesting storytelling devices going on here with Jey and Jimmy.
04:12And the back and forth they have had Roman as kind of the big thing hanging over this whole thing as he always does.
04:20What role does the vision play in this sort of a thing?
04:24What does Brock Lesnar have to do with any of it if he does at all?
04:28I could see the vision with Brock coming in and keeping this vacant.
04:33Like, having a bit of a schmoz finish where we don't get the title decided here.
04:37Hopefully that means it's not the main event, although it probably will be.
04:40But kind of continuing that storyline on into War Games and doing something with that.
04:44Something along those lines.
04:45I think there's a way you could get creative there.
04:47I don't mind just if Punk is out, or sorry, if Rollins is out, having Punk be the champion.
04:52And having that push against the vision with Punk against Paul.
04:58Punk against Braun.
04:59Punk against Bronson.
05:00Like, I think there's an interesting story at play there that you could do that kind of needs the title.
05:05Where Jey, Jimmy, Roman, Bloodline, that doesn't need the championship right now.
05:09It would help kind of solidify Jey in this true heel role.
05:14But I think Punk being the guy on top and providing some calm waters there is probably the way they're going to go at this particular time.
05:21Handling the Seth Rollins injury and creating a lot of fun stories with the division across the hall.
05:26But I could see a world where Vision gets involved, Brock gets involved.
05:30We get a no finish and the title remains vacant going into Survivor Series.
05:34Putting something, a different kind of a stake on a War Games matchup or something along those lines.
05:40So those are my picks for Saturday Night's main event.
05:42What about you guys?
05:43What do you think will go down this Saturday with four championship matches on the card so far?
