5 Last-Minute Predictions Ahead of Saturday Night’s Main Event

The excitement levels for the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event are soaring high, with the Delta Center in Salt Lake City prepared to witness major changes in the existing storyline dynamics of the WWE locker room.

The October 31, 2025, edition of Friday Night SmackDown (via WWE) has further created suspense around major feuds that are expected to culminate in a shocking end.

In light of the high-stakes event, here are 5 last-minute predictions for Saturday Night’s Main Event, which will start at 7 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), available on Peacock for live streaming in the United States and on WWE Network or WWE’s YouTube channel internationally.

5 Dominik Mysterio Retains the Intercontinental Title

Dominik Mysterio is poised to face Rusev and Penta with the Intercontinental title on the line at Saturday Night’s Main Event. However, with the kind of physical state Penta and Rusev are in, and given that Mysterio is bound to use his tricks, the most likely scenario is that the Judgment Day protagonist will retain his title and somehow emerge victorious over Rusev and Penta.

4 Jade Cargill to Become the New Undisputed WWE Women’s Champion

Jade Cargill turned heel during the October 24, 2025, edition of Friday Night SmackDown (via WWE) and launched a vicious assault on Tiffany Stratton, after which the animosity between them was enhanced further with a heated feud in the recent edition of the blue brand.

In all likelihood, Cargill will defeat Stratton and emerge as the next Women’s Champion. This will mark the end of Tiffy-time in the women’s locker room, and most likely, the company will head towards the return of Bianca Belair, and the beginning of the storyline feud between Belair and Cargill.

3 Cody Rhodes Defends His Title in a Hard-Fought Clash With Outside Intervention

The clash between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre has been simmering on for some time. The feud reached new heated levels when the Number 1 contenders’ match during the October 17, 2025, edition of Friday Night SmackDown (via WWE) between Jacob Fatu and McIntyre got canceled due to a backstage assault on the Samoan Warewolf.

Cody Rhodes directly alleged that McIntyre was involved in this attack. As a result, the feud between the Scottish Warrior and American Nightmare was locked in at that moment, with animosity reaching unprecedented levels. At Saturday Night’s Main Event, Rhodes will successfully manage to defend his title, although the clash is expected to turn out to be an exhaustive one.

Subsequently, Jacob Fatu is expected to make a return with a crucial intervention that will seal the fate of the clash in Cody Rhodes’s favor.

2 CM Punk to Become the New World Heavyweight Champion

Seth Rollins’s injury has forced him to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship with CM Punk as the Number 1 contender for the title. Subsequently, Jey Uso won the battle royal during the October 20, 2025, edition of Monday Night RAW (via WWE) and secured a place for himself against Punk on Saturday Night’s Main Event.

However, CM Punk has already touched title glory once during SummerSlam 2025 after defeating Gunther in a violent clash. But his moment was stolen with Rollins pulling out the ‘ruse of the century.’ WWE creative heads will likely compensate Punk for the way the Second City Saint lost the title, particularly after many fans believe his opportunity was stolen from him.

1 Gunther Returns to WWE

WWE has teased the return of a superstar with vignettes featuring the footsteps of a mysterious person. Many in the professional wrestling community believe that Gunther is the man in these vignettes. The WWE universe has not seen the Ring General for some time now. He has been out of WWE programming ever since his head was botched open during his clash against Punk, which contributed to his loss at SummerSlam 2025.

Months later, Punk is still chasing the title, and with Rollins supposedly out of action due to injury, this is the perfect chance for Gunther to make a comeback and seek some sort of revenge against Punk and become his first rival if he wins the World Heavyweight title against Jey Uso, which appears to be the likely scenario.

Additionally, Gunther is also likely to become John Cena’s final WWE opponent in his retirement match on December 13, and the company would like to build some momentum around it with the return of the Ring General.

Saturday Night’s Main Event promises to be a star-studded night with consequential clashes all around, and high-stakes developments in existing storylines are bound to take place. What remains to be seen is the manner in which these matches culminate inside the squared circle and what further twists are poised to happen in WWE storylines.
