Welcome to another instalment of the daily eWrestlingNews Query!
On the cards for the WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, we have five adrenaline-pumping matchups scheduled. Logically speaking, the main attraction of the event would be the spectacle between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens vying for the Undisputed WWE Championship. But the crucial question here is– what will serve as the curtain raiser?
So, the pressing question of the day is “Which matchup should kickoff the SNME event by WWE?”
We look forward to your feedback, so don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments.
Now, for my take on it…
Your guess is no different from mine if the thumbnail is any indication – I vouch for commencing the event with the Triple Threat for the World Heavyweight Championship.
My rationale is quite simple; WWE should set the pace and energy right from the get-go, and there’s no better way than to begin with a title fight graced by the most distinctive personalities. With interesting characters like Damian Priest and Finn Balor first entering the ring before the defending champion, Gunther makes his appearance, this bout is a promising opener designed to entice first-time or occasional viewers who are unfamiliar with these characters.
As a follow-up to a title defence by Gunther, the wisest move would be to announce a new champion will definitely be crowned in the Women’s United States Championship tournament final. This not only alleviates any disappointment of viewers who witnessed a title retainment, it also grabs the attention—provided a visual of the women, especially Tiffany Stratton, flash across the screen. Remember, no matter how much we want to deny this fact, sex appeal still has its charm and sales impact. So, coupling this visual appeal with a guaranteed title change is just smart marketing.
Then, let the event continue with a faceoff between Drew McIntyre and Sami Zayn, followed by Liv Morgan triumphing over Iyo Sky and finally, bid adieu to the viewers with a victorious Cody Rhodes over Kevin Owens to end the night on a high.
