WWE Saturday Night's Main Event SCOOPS THREAD
🕑 Added 2025-11-01 22:04:30 +0000 UTCWelcome to the Fightful Select WWE Saturday Night's Main Event SCOOPS THREAD. We'll update this if we get any additional information from the show! We have the match order, details from behind the scenes
A bit of a no-brainer, but the creative heading into this show was heavily adjusted. Jey Uso was not originally planned for this show whatsoever.
We're told that whenever Elton Prince returns from injury, there's a high likelihood that Pretty Deadly will be reunited.
More of a no brainer, but CM Punk vs. Jey Uso was the plan to main event on Saturday as of early this week.
We've heard that Triple H and Bruce Prichard were both at WWE Smackdown, but not at tonight's show. Road Dogg was at Smackdown after not being around the last couple of week.
Bianca Belair was in town for Smackdown, but we've not heard that she was at the show. We're told that she occasionally still travels to shows, even if she's not on them.
A source in WWE indicated that last night's ticket sales in Salt Lake City were "very disappointing." It was a huge drop or nearly half from 11 months ago, and less than half of the average for the year. There were a lot of fans moved down, which is common across all wrestling companies, including AEW and TNA when sales aren't good.
Cody Rhodes, Jade Cargill are betting favorites right now on MyBookie!
MATCH ORDER (SUBJECT TO CHANGE)
Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre
Tiffany Stratton vs. Jade Cargill
IC Title Triple Threat
CM Punk vs. Jey Uso
MINI DEBUNKATHON
There's a facebook page claiming "breaking news" that Cody Rhodes is "heavily rumored" to go heel. This hasn't been reported by anyone.
Regarding rumors of John Cena competing for the IC Title, there have been discussions about that in recent months

How much were the tickets a year ago compared to now? I don’t blame people at all for skipping events these days. I know Royal Rumble THIS year cost me significantly less than they were trying to get out of Wrestlepalooza tickets so I skipped the latter. I was moved down to the 8th row last time I went to Raw as well a few months back as many people seemed to have done like me and bought the cheaper seats in the upper level leaving big gaps in the lower arena.

2 hours not 3

3 hours for 4 matches? Love to see how they fill the time.
