5. Hulk Hogan returns with other WWE legends

There were some reports that suggested Hulk Hogan is among the list of legends who could return at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Given the retro build to the spectacle, there are chances that The Hulkster could be present in the Nassau Coliseum for the event and make a brief appearance.

Additionally, Hogan could be joined by WWE veterans like Bob Orton and Jimmy Hart for a memorable segment. Given the legacy of Saturday Night’s Main Event, such a moment would provide a nostalgic treat for fans, adding a touch of classic WWE charm to the show.

4. Charlotte Flair helps Liv Morgan retain her title

Charlotte Flair is reportedly gearing up for her WWE return, and Saturday Night’s Main Event could serve as the perfect stage for her comeback. While rumors suggest WWE may be planning to move Flair to SmackDown, her return could take an unexpected twist if she helps Liv Morgan retain the Women’s World Title in a shocking turn of events.

Before her injury, Flair was deeply embroiled in a heated feud with Damage CTRL, with Asuka being the one responsible for sidelining The Queen. As a result, Flair could look to pick up where she left off by costing Iyo Sky her title opportunity at Saturday Night’s Main Event, adding another layer of drama to their rivalry.

3. Michin becomes the inaugural Women’s United States Champion

WWE is set to crown their first-ever Women’s United States Champion at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Michin and Chelsea Green are two stars who outlasted the wide pool of superstars. However, the NBC spectacle could be a special night for the formerly known Mia Yim, who could emerge as the first-ever champion.

The former OC member has been showcasing her wrestling prowess consistently throughout the year. As a result, WWE might finally give her the recognition she deserves at Saturday Night’s Main Event. While a victory for Green could follow a more predictable path, crowning Michin as the champion would deliver a surprising twist.

2. Kevin Owens becomes new Undisputed WWE Champion

Kevin Owens has been thriving in his heel character on SmackDown. In his two-month feud with Cody Rhodes, he has had the upper hand for the majority of the time period. Therefore, there is a good possibility that The Prizefighter could shock the world by dethroning Rhodes as the Undisputed WWE Champion.

If Owens were to lose at Saturday Night’s Main Event, it could deal a significant blow to his character and further derail his momentum. To avoid this, WWE might take the opportunity to solidify Owens’ status by putting the Undisputed Title over the Canadian superstar’s shoulder, making his character feel even more legitimate and impactful.

1. The Rock returns to set up his clash with Cody Rhodes

The Rock made his last appearance at Bad Blood to potentially hint at his next chapter in WWE. He could once again make his return at Saturday Night’s Main Event to set up his clash with Cody Rhodes. The Rock could return after Rhodes’ match with Owens.

The Great One might confront Rhodes, demanding the return of the item he gave him on Raw after WrestleMania. This unexpected interaction could ignite speculation among fans. It could also set the stage for a potential blockbuster clash between the Hollywood icon and the 39-year-old at WrestleMania.
