What would a big time Saturday night show in San Antonio, Texas be without the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels?

The WWE Hall of Famer has a tough task ahead of him tonight as he moderates the Royal Rumble contract signing between WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and the 'rightful' WWE Champion Kevin Owens.

These two bitter rivals have come to blows every single week in the run-up to their Ladder Match in Indianapolis next Saturday. Tonight on the Saturday Night's Main Event NBC Special, they'll have to agree to a contract addendum put forth by SmackDown GM Nick Aldis and hand over their respective Championship belts.

Best of luck to Shawn Michaels as he looks to keep the peace between champion and challenger inside the Frost Bank Center. Meantime, the World Heavyweight Championship, the Women's World Championship, and the Intercontinental Championship are all on the line tonight. Plus, fans will be treated to a good ole' fashioned HOSS FIGHT!

Here's everything we know about tonight's Saturday Night's Main Event special:


World Heavyweight Championship Match between Gunther and Jey Uso

Tonight could be the biggest night in the lengthy career of 'Main Event' Jey Uso. The former Intercontinental Champion is looking to win his first World Title when he faces Gunther at Saturday Night's Main Event. The Ring General meantime, is out to prove that Jey is nothing more than a really over company mascot.

Rhea Ripley and Nia Jax battle for the Women's World Championship

Nia Jax has some lofty goals for 2025. The former Women's World Champion says she's going to defeat Rhea Ripley tonight at Saturday Night's Main Event and then go on to win the Royal Rumble so she can challenge Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania 41. Will Mami derail those plans and stay on top of the Women's Division?

Will Sheamus finally win the Intercontinental Championship?
