The excitement is building as Cody Rhodes prepares to defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens at the highly anticipated Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14. This epic showdown will air live on NBC and Peacock, bringing the intense rivalry between these WWE superstars to primetime television.
A Rivalry Rooted in Betrayal
The feud between Rhodes and Owens has reached its boiling point. On the November 24 episode of SmackDown Live, Owens called out Rhodes for what he believes was an act of betrayal. The tension stems from Rhodes’ controversial decision to team up with Roman Reigns during October’s Bad Blood premium live event.
“For four years, I fought the Bloodline. Every week. Blood, sweat, and tears. I fought them all,” Owens declared in a passionate promo. “And they tried to end my career.” His words highlight the deeply personal stakes in this heated contest.
The Return of Saturday Night’s Main Event
This match marks the historic return of Saturday Night’s Main Event to NBC, now airing live in primetime for the first time in decades. Originally a fan favorite from 1985 to 1992, the show’s revival is part of WWE’s monumental $1.4 billion media rights deal with NBCUniversal.
The event will take place at the legendary Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Long Island, N.Y., which hosted the very first Saturday Night’s Main Event. WWE’s Chief Creative Officer, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, emphasized the importance of this broadcast:
“Its return to NBC, this time in primetime for a live national audience, is the perfect vehicle for two of our biggest stars—Wrestling Champion Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens. It signals our level of ambition for this show,” he told the New York Post.
High Stakes, Unmissable Action
For Rhodes, this match is an opportunity to prove himself as a dominant champion. For Owens, it’s about redemption and reclaiming his legacy. The deeply personal animosity between the two adds layers of intensity to what’s already shaping up to be a blockbuster contest.
