Cody Rhodes Set to Face Kevin Owens at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event

One Big Thing

WWE is planning a high-stakes showdown between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens for the December 14 Saturday Night’s Main Event special at Nassau Coliseum, according to Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s Dave Meltzer.

Why It Matters

This match represents a significant shift in WWE’s programming strategy, reviving the historic Saturday Night’s Main Event brand while featuring two of the company’s top performers. The timing also suggests WWE is saving this marquee matchup for a special event rather than including it in the upcoming Survivor Series premium live event.

By The Numbers

• First Saturday Night’s Main Event of 2025
• December 14 event date at Nassau Coliseum
• Second Rhodes vs. Owens encounter in 2024

The Backstory

Kevin Owens has been on a collision course with both Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton
• Owens took out Randy Orton with a piledriver on the November 8 SmackDown
• Recent attacks by Owens on both Rhodes and Orton have built tension leading to this match

Behind The Scenes

The decision to schedule this match for Saturday Night’s Main Event rather than Survivor Series indicates WWE’s commitment to making their special network events must-see programming, while also allowing this feud to develop more naturally over the coming weeks.

What’s Next

The build-up to this match is expected to intensify on weekly WWE programming, with both superstars likely to have several confrontations before their December showdown.
