Saturday Night’s Main Event 2025 Match Card:
John Cena vs. Gunther – Cena’s Retirement Match
Think Drago vs. Rocky. The time is up, and the time is now. In what is officially billed as his final match, John Cena steps into the ring one last time to face Gunther, the man who won the “Last Time is Now” tournament on SmackDown. The chopping, smashing, Imperium founder would love nothing more than to add Cena to Goldberg on his humiliated retirement resume. This match marks their first-ever singles encounter and symbolizes Cena’s passing of the torch to the next generation (hopefully, ask Nexus). Expect an emotional sendoff for one of WWE’s greatest of all time.
Champion vs. Champion: Cody Rhodes vs. Oba Femi (Non-Title)
Cody Rhodes, the Undisputed WWE Champion, faces NXT Champion Oba Femi in a high-stakes, non-title clash. With Oba riding high after reclaiming the NXT title at Deadline, this match is a showcase of what’s to come in WWE’s future. Whether it ends clean or with chaos, this is a defining moment for both men and will almost certainly place the NXT ruler on the maincard map.
Bayley vs. Sol Ruca
Veteran vs. rising star. Bayley takes on Sol Ruca in a test of experience versus raw talent. While Bayley remains one of WWE’s most respected superstars, she has always championed the next generation. With Ruca gaining momentum, this could be her breakout moment on a grand stage. Which Bayley will we get? The hugger or the hurter? Sol will know soon enough.
WWE World Tag Team Championship: AJ Styles & Dragon Lee (c) vs. Je’Von Evans & Leon Slater
The high-flying champions face their biggest challenge yet. TNA’s Leon Slater teams with NXT sensation Je’Von Evans in a cross-brand dream match. Slater, the reigning TNA X-Division Champion, has withdrawn from international bookings to focus on this moment, signaling the importance of the match. With no deep storylines attached, this bout promises to be pure wrestling magic.
Backstage reaction to Slater’s involvement has been overwhelmingly positive, with industry insiders noting how seamlessly he fits with WWE’s young talent and how this spotlight could elevate his profile as his current TNA contract runs through 2026. Teaming him with Evans seems like a perfect pair. will they be enough to overtake the champs?
