WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event (Jan. 24, 2026) Key Points
- Three matches have been advertised for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event XLIII.
- Cody Rhodes will face Jacob Fatu in a singles match while Sami Zayn will return to his home country of Montreal as a conquering hero. Zayn will be heavily favored to win the Fatal 4-Way for an opportunity to challenge Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble.
- WWE is on an international tour, with several live broadcasts airing out-of-schedule, but Saturday Night’s Main Event will air in its normal timeslot of 5:00 pm PST (8:00 pm EST.)
WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event will be highlighted by Sami Zayn’s homecoming in a high-stakes match that could earn him another world championship match, this time against new WWE champion Drew McIntyre. Zayn qualified for a Fatal 4-Way this past Friday on SmackDown, defeating Ilja Dragunov.
Jacob Fatu will go one-on-one against Cody Rhodes, and the heel city of Montreal is sure to boo Cody and cheer for the returning antihero Fatu. Fatu sparked a beef with Rhodes after costing Rhodes the WWE Championship in a Three Stages of Hell Match.
In the one championship match announced, the team of Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky will face Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
