Here’s a preview of WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event XLIII:

#4. AJ Styles shares the ring with Shinsuke Nakamura

The upcoming edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event will feature an exciting match that is set to take fans down memory lane. AJ Styles is set to battle Shinsuke Nakamura in a blockbuster match tonight and this could perhaps be the last time the two icons will ever share the ring. Given their storied history, this makes the bout all the more memorable.

Styles and Nakamura could deliver an instant classic, leaving the entire crowd on their feet. Following a great match, The Phenomenal One could emerge victorious at SNME. AJ Styles is set to face Gunther a week from now at Royal Rumble, where his career will be on the line. Therefore, WWE is unlikely to give him a loss tonight in Montreal, Canada.

#3. Cody Rhodes goes to war with Jacob Fatu at Saturday Night’s Main Event

Cody Rhodes has been embroiled in a heated feud with Jacob Fatu on SmackDown for the past few weeks. This rivalry has escalated in no time as two men have been on a rampage, looking to tear one another apart. Tonight, Fatu and Rhodes will go to war against each other as they collide in a singles match at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The biggest question in fans’ minds is who’s gonna walk out with that victory. The Samoan Werewolf could pull off a huge upset tonight by beating Cody Rhodes. However, that victory might come in a controversial fashion. Well, there’s another possibility and that is WWE can end this bout in a no-contest or a double countout to protect both superstars and stretch this feud.

#2. Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY battle The Judgment Day

Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY will put the WWE Women’s Championship on the line tonight at Saturday Night’s Main Event. They will battle Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez in a high-stakes match. While the buildup of this bout has been minimal, the match can turn out to be an exciting one. Triple H can pull off a massive shocker in this bout, leaving fans stunned.

The Judgment Day duo could shock the world by beating Ripley and SKY to win the Women’s Tag Team Championship. Morgan and Perez could use underhanded tactics to capture the coveted title tonight. WWE could do a title change at Saturday Night’s Main Event to create a huge buzz and make the road to WrestleMania unpredictable.

#1. Fatal Four-Way Match punches the ticket to Royal Rumble

The biggest highlight of tonight’s Saturday Night’s Main Event will remain the Fatal Four-Way Match between Sami Zayn, Damian Priest, Randy Orton and Trick Williams. It will be a Number One Contenders Match with the winner getting a shot at Drew McIntyre’s Undisputed WWE Championship at Royal Rumble. The buildup to this bout has been incredible on SmackDown.

But who’s gonna punch his ticket to the Royal Rumble? Rumors have been swirling that Zayn could win the Fatal Four-Way Match and face McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Championship. All signs have been pointing towards this at the moment. With Saturday Night’s Main Event taking place in Montreal, Quebec, the chances of Sami Zayn’s victory become very high.
