It's Saturday night and we have some main events to watch.
It's Saturday Night's Main Event, WWE's second of three huge events this month. The month started with Backlash and next Sunday, we have a Clash in Italy to enjoy.
But today, we have an action packed night of wrestling. We'll be here from the opening bell until the final slap of the mat. So sit back, watch along with us or follow along as we take you through tonight's Saturday Night's Main Event.
Next up are the me's tag team championshps with the Vision against the Street Profits. If the bad guys lose, Seth Rollins will be the reason. If the good guys lose, they're breaking up. But for now, we want the smoke!
Honestly, I'm disappointed the Street Profits are still together, and that's a massive compliment. I don't see why either couldn't be a top guy. They can talk, they can wrestle, they're funny, the fans love them. I don't want to see them break up, I'd like to see them do singles. Like the Hardyz. Or Edge and Christian. Minus the turning on each other.
The bad guys are out next. Fire Logan Paul isa very good song. I like him, but I like the song too. Paul Heyman is out with Logan Paul and Austin Theory. Let's go! Fans are chanting fire Logan Paul. Theory is holding his ears. I love it. Old school but so great. That's stuff you don't see people do much anymore. I love it. Good for Austin Theory. Very fun.
The guys are starting slow, it's Ford against Paul. This would be a great singles match. And Paul cheapshots him. They're proving that as Montez Ford hits some big dropkicks. This feels old school tag team match. They're doing everything. The Stret Profits look great. They dispose of their foes and they look great so far. Heyman tells his team to leave. They're walking back. But the Profits cut them off and we have a brawl in the crowd. The Profits take control, but Angelo Dawkins eats an uppercut from Logan Paul.
I guess we're goig past 10 p.m. Dawkins is being worked over by the Vision. Theory is pounding Angelo Dawkins and then does some pushups. Logan Paul locks on a chinlock as Dawkins looks to tag Ford. He fights out of it.
Dawkins lunges for Ford, but Paul pulled him off the apron. Genius. Dawkins is back in the wrong part of the ring. He fights out. They go to do the Hardys' poetry in motion, but Dawkins moves and tags Ford, who comes in and beats up both Vision. Theory runs into a powerslam. Theory kicks out. Ford eats an elbow, but but Theory tags in Paul who hits a springboard lariat. Ford escapes. The Street Profits have a catch with Theory and then hit the blockbuster from the top. Paul breaks up the cover. It was a blockbuster from on top of Dawkins shoulders. Unreal. Theory hits a punch on Dawkins until he eats a kick from Ford. Ford then flies over the turnbuckle. Bronn Breakker came out but he gets pounced.
They hit the finsih on Theory, but Heyman puts Theory's foot on the bottom rope. Ford chased Heyman, but Paul hits him with knuckles. Theory makes the pin, the Vision win.
It took Paul Heyman and Bron Breakker to help, but the champs retain the title. Very good match.
Easy best match of the night. They did a lot of Midnight Express vs. Rock and Roll Express stuff. I Loved it. Grade: 96 out of 100.
We are closing with tag team matches. Looking forward to both of them. I think we have to see at least one title change tonight. If I had to pick one, it would be the ladies. I don't see the Vision losing the titles, but I could see Seth Rollins costing them if it does happen. I'm going with a title change here. I thought we'd see it in the IC match, but Penta retained. He's a great champ, so cool.
We're at a commercial, but we have 40 minutes left, two tag team matches. We might go past 10. Is Danhausen at the Knicks game? I gotta tell ya, I liked Danhausen until he sided with the Knicks. I hate the Knicks. I might hate the Knicks more than the Celtics. I hate Larry Bird more than Patrick Ewing, but I hate New York fans far more than Boston fans. Probably because Boston people don't come to Philly or the Jersey Shore. I like Mr. Met though. I don't hate the Giants or Jets. I do dislike the Mets and Rangers with my entire heart though.
Anyway, here come the former champs! Nia Jax and Lash Legend are a very good tag team and they could pick up some gold tonight.
I didn't watch much Total Divas, but I love Brie Mode! That's when she's drunk. The champs are out and we're ready to go! I have no idea if this is the case, but Nia Jax seems to be a great leader for Lash. It's not easy to be a different kind of wrestler. They're bigger and stronger than most of their foes. It has to be pretty cool for Lash to learn from Nia.
The match starts with a double dropkick that looked exactly how the Rock and Roll Express threw them. Brie is hitting some top rope elbows on Nia, but is caught. Samoan drop and we get a two count. Brie is in the corner and she fights back on Legend, but Lash throws her. She goes between her legs and tags Paige. They hit a double codebreaker, but can't even get a one count. Page is caught by Lash and now she's in the wrong part of town. Lash hits two clotheslines and a very good splash, but only gets a two count. Nia tagged in. Nia and Lash know how to be a tag team. Nia goes to work on Page and puts on an arm bar type move.
They're still going to work on Paige. Jax hits an avalanche but Paige lowbridges Lash and she hits the outside, but Paige stil lcan't make the tag. Jax tags in, but Paige sidesteps a charge and makes the tag to Brie who comes in with Yes kicks to Jax. She hits running knees.
Jax hits a popup headbutt, a Samoan Drop and Lash hits a splash from the second rope. They pick Brie up and they hit the leg drop from the second rope. Paige breaks up the pin. I thought that was it. Brie is looking to tag Paige. She does. Paige rolls up Nia, Bella uses her boot to double the leverage and they win.
The champs outsmarted the former champs. Fun match. Champs retain, but there are a lot of challengers for their titles.
Not a classic, but they put on a good match. Grade: 85 out of 100
Next up is an Intercontential Championship match. I have to believe we have a new champion here, mostly because Page is on a roll. There's far less ads on here. Before we get to that match, Nick Aldis makes a match with Sol Ruca vs. Becky Lynch for the title in Italy. Then we go to Lash Legend and Nia Jax, who are ready to take on the tag team champs. They plan on winning tonight. No surprise there. Imagine they said "We plan on losing?"
Ethan Page is out first. Michael Cole thanks those who served and paid the ultimate sacrafice. Memorial Day weekend is a great day to say that. So thank you!
Ethan Page is out first and next out is Penta, who has been a remarkable IC champ. I think that ends tonight. Maybe he'll get it back. He's been a real star.
Lilian Garcia does the intros and we're off. Expect fast, high risk action. It starts with some chain wrestling though. Penta lands a kick, but Page recovers and puts the boots to the champ. Penta hits some big moves and is caught on a springboard with a dropkick by Page. But Penta recocvers, throws Page outside and hits a superkick on the floor. But he gets back bodydropped on the table. He's hurt. That could change the match. Page breaks the count and throws Penta back in. Brings him back out and rams him into the steel post. It's not steel though, but whatever.
Page takes Penta back in the ring and he's keeping control. But Penta hits some kicks to the legs and a modified bulldog. Follows it up with a kick to the face and then a handstand dropkick in the corner. Penta goes for a Frankensteiner from the top. Instead he hits a headscissors, then a springboard DDT. Two count only. Penta goes for his driver, but Page fights out and hits a kick from the top rope. A body slam, but only gets two.
Penta and Page are now in a slugfest. Page is getting the edge until he eats a superkick. Then he throws a superkick. Eats another. Then they kick each other and both are down.
Penta hits a PentaDriver, but Page kicks out! Page kicks out! Penta goes for a destroyer, but he eats a knee. I guess we're going over two hours. Page hits a powerslam from the second rope, but Penta kicks out. The turnbuckle was removed and Penta was thrown into it. Page is thrown in too. Mexian Destroyer, 1-2-3. Penta retains.
Shawn Michaels remains the only man to win the IC title on SNME. Penta outsmarts Page and gets the win. Very good match.
Very good match. Best of night so far. Penta retains. Grade: 91 out of 100.
The newcomer challenging the best wrestler in WWE is up next. Becky Lynch was great against Lyra Valkyria, great against AJ Lee, great against Maxxine Dupri. It truly doesn't matter who she's in there against, she gets the best out of them.
Ruca does a little interview before the match and she's pretty good. It was no Mr. Fuji singing before Don Muraco wrestled Dick Slater, but it was pretty good. Becky Lynch talks on her way to the ring. She talks before heading to the Gorilla position. And now she's out. She has the IC belt, but that isn't on the line tonight.
Lynch gets off to a fast start, tossing the title at Ruca and then attacking , but Lynch is throwing out and Ruca hits a moonsault. I think Lynch got kicked in the face, Ruca is a great athlete. Sol went for a Sol Snatcher, but Lynch pushed the official in the way. Ruca gets the win by DQ, but she's not happy. Lynch is sneaking out. A Becky sucks chant breaks out. As Ruca goes to help the official, Lynch returns, hits a Manhandle Slam and a second. Ruca is down. Lynch takes her title and leaves. And comes back and hits a third slam. Ruca learned the hard way that Lynch is no joke. Who is Nxt for Lynch? Becky holds up the title and leaves the ring.
Lynch took out her least favorite ref and it helped her in beating down Sol Ruca. Not great sportsmanship, but wise move.
That gets an incomplete. But it makes me want to see them fight again, which is good. What I saw I liked. but you can't give it a grade, it was like my favorite rapper. Too short but kinda funky.
Starting hot with the six women tag team match. This will be a fun. Rhea Ripley out first, Charlotte Flair is out next. And then Little Miss Bliss. Do we still call her that now that she's married? Both of these ladies seem like two of the nicest. So does Rhea. Actually most wrestlers in 2026 are nicer than the ones when I was a kid, at least it seems that way. And her come their opponents. Jade Cargill comes out with her partners and they look like smooth criminals, decked out like Michael Jackson. Jadie are you OK?
We start with Fab and Rhea. And Rhea gains control early. Bliss tags in and hits a head scissors, bringing in Michin. Bliss hits a few moves before tagging in Charlotte. They hit a teamwork dropkick and then Flair does a few sommersault takeovers. B Fab tags back in and Bliss comes in too. Cargill pulls Bliss out and hits a superkick. Now we got Flair and Cargill. This could headline Maina someday.
But before it happens Cargill cheapshots Rhea and Michin attacks Flair. She takes over on Flair and tags in B-Fab. Then Cargill hits a clothesline. They have Flair in the corner and they're working her over.
They're doing the old school keeping Flair in their corner. She fought off Cargill and B-Fab, but Michin hits a top rope Frankensteiner, but only gets two. Michin went for a piledriver, but Flair hits a back body drop. B-Fab stops her from making the tag though. Until both hit huge kicks on each other.
Rhea comes in and she's a house of fire. She hits a perfect drop kick and takes down the bad team. The fans are behind Rhea, yelling this is awesome. It is a good match. Ripley went for Riptide, but Michin turns it into a backwards Frankensteiner. Rhea landed on her head. She isn't hurt, but why do that?
Bliss comes in, hits a spinning DDT, but can't keep Michin down. B-Fab hits a DDT on Bliss. Michin tags back in. B-Fab and Michin have been very good. Bliss hits a double DDT on those two though and tags in Flair, who hits both with a crossbody. A suplex on Michin.
Michin hits a styles clash on Flair but Ripley breaks up the count. Cool to see her do that. Bliss squares off with Cargill, but Flair saves the day. They're decked by Michin and B-Fab and all six are down. Fans going nuts.
Now it's Rhea vs. Cargill. Fans exploding. The fans have loved this match. They beat each other up before Rhea nails a headbutt. She hits Riptide. Michin breaks it up.
B-Fab lined up Rhea, but Flair broke it up. Rhea and Flair are about to shake hands, but instead, they hit fallaway slams on B-Fab and Michin before doing crosschops. The three good girls were celebrating before Cargill pushes them together, hits her finish on Ripley and they win. Jade Cargill did it by herself.
Great match. Fun. Everyone showed what they could do. Cargill does a crotchchop to the losers as they exit the ring. They stay united, but they lost.
Fun match. Everyone worked hard. I enjoyed it. Grade: 89 out of 100.
