WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event 41 Match Card, Start Time And Odds

The latest edition of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event is one of the biggest ones yet.

This Saturday, Nov. 1, WWE heads to the Delta Center in Salt Lake City for what is shaping to be a pivotal, potentially tide-changing show for both Raw and SmackDown. WWE has stacked the event with four major championship matches, including Cody Rhodes’ latest WWE title defense and Jey Uso vs. CM Punk for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship.

WWE’s most recent SNME in July, which was simulcast on NBC and Peacock, featured Goldberg’s retirement match but generated a pedestrian viewership of 1.425 million on NBC. This Saturday’s show will not air on NBC and is therefore expected to draw a low audience, but WWE is trying to combat that with arguably the most star-studded and important Saturday Night’s Main Event card of 2025.

WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event Match Card

WWE has four confirmed matches for the 41st edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event. Below is the show’s full card:

• WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Drew McIntyre
• World Heavyweight Championship: CM Punk vs. Jey Uso
• WWE Women’s Championship: Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Jade Cargill
• Intercontinental Championship: Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. Rusev vs. Penta

Punk won a triple threat match on Raw to become the No. 1 contender for the World Heayvweight Championship, then held by Seth Rollins, who was forced to vacate the title after undergoing shoulder surgery. The following week, Jey Uso won a No. 1 contender’s battle royal to earn the right to face Punk for the vacant title.

WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event Betting Odds

WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event will crown at least one new titleholder, a World Heavyweight Champion, but it wouldn’t be surprising if three new champions walked out of Salt Lake City.

Below are full betting odds for SNME from BetOnline.ag, which are current at time of publication:

WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes (-600) vs. Drew McIntyre (+500)

Cody Rhodes beat Drew McIntyre in controversial fashion at last month’s WrestlePalooza, then McIntyre defeated Rhodes via disqualification on SmackDown a couple of weeks ago. That makes their SNME match, well, essentially a rubber match.

Though the Scottish superstar is perhaps WWE’s best all-around performer, he has been shafted by the creative team time and time again when it comes to winning world titles. There’s little to suggest that this will change this time around, either. Rhodes figures to head into WrestleMania 42 as WWE Champion, barring an unforeseen creative shakeup.

That means that McIntyre is a virtual shoo-in to lose at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

World Heavyweight Championship: CM Punk (-400) vs. Jey Uso (+250)

The World Heavyweight Championship match between CM Punk and Jey Uso is as close to a toss-up as it gets.

Both stars have already held that title in 2025, with Uso winning it at WrestleMania 41 and Punk capturing it at SummerSlam only to lose it minutes later to a Seth Rollins cash-in. Nearly two years after his shocking WWE return, the time feels right for a legitimate, lengthy world title reign for Punk, but Uso is in the midst of a pseudo-heel turn storyline involving his brother Jimmy, Roman Reigns and The Bloodline.

It wouldn’t be a major shocker if Uso turned heel to beat Punk at Saturday Night’s Main Event, but right now, this match is a slight lean toward Punk.

WWE Women’s Championship: Tiffany Stratton (+600) vs. Jade Cargill (-1500)

Tiffany Stratton has already defeated Jade Cargill during her lengthy WWE Women’s Championship reign, beating “The Storm” in quick and resounding fashion at SummerSlam.

Yet, here we are a few months later, and Cargill, fresh off a well-crafted heel turn, is getting another crack at Stratton. Would WWE book this angle and this match only for Cargill to lose again? Highly unlikely. Stratton has had a long run with the belt, one in which she’s defeated Cargill, Charlotte Flair, Nia Jax and Trish Stratus.

There’s nothing left for Stratton to accomplish as champion right now, and Cargill desperately needs the win at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Judging by the recent booking of this feud, Cargill is going to get it, too.

Intercontinental Championship: Dominik Mysterio (-2500) vs. Rusev (+500) vs. Penta (+500)

Although both Penta and Rusev would make good choices to hold the Intercontinental title, the timing for a title change simply isn’t right.

WWE is reportedly booking John Cena vs. Dominik Mysterio for the title at Survivor Series: WarGames later this month in a match that Cena is set to win. That makes the triple threat match for the IC Championship arguably the easiest call on this show.

Mysterio isn’t going to lose the belt at Saturday Night’s Main Event, but he isn’t going to hold it much longer, either.
