How to watch WWE Saturday Night's Main Event: Schedule, TV/ stream info, match card, preview, predictions
'The YEET Master' meets 'The Maverick' as Jey Uso is set to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against social media star and former United States Champion Logan Paul on the latest edition of WWE Saturday Night's Main Event, airing live at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and streaming on Peacock.
There is certainly no love lost between these two, as they have had many run-ins since Logan Paul joined WWE in 2022. The YouTuber-turned-prizefighter has laid out Jey Uso the last three weeks on Monday Night Raw with a sucker punch. And last year, Paul tried to use Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes' Super Bowl rings to strike Jey, but struck JD McDonagh instead, who was restraining Jey before he ducked out of the way.
The winner of Saturday's match is set to defend the World Heavyweight title against Gunther on the June 9 episode of Raw.

In another match that has become very personal, R-Truth will challenge his childhood hero, the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena. Two weeks ago at Backlash, R-Truth came to Cena's aid, right as it appeared Randy Orton was going to dethrone his longtime rival. Cena capitalized on this distraction and hit Orton with an Attitude Adjustment to retain the title.
And how did Cena repay his biggest fan? The 17-time world champion hit R-Truth with an Attitude Adjustment through a table at the post-show press conference. Instead of vowing to get revenge, Truth has vowed to knock some sense back into the man who has made it his mission to ruin wrestling after turning his back on the WWE Universe last February.

Elsewhere on the card, CM Punk and Sami Zayn will team up to face Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker, while Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre will clash in a Steel Cage Match.

WWE Saturday Night's Main Event predictions
'Main Event' Jey Uso dropping the World Heavyweight Championship without a single legitimate title defense? No chance. Logan Paul could very well be a successful heel world champion one day, but I have a hard time believing such a seismic move would take place so soon after WrestleMania at the expense of the 'YEET' movement.
In addition, I don't think it's a coincidence that a WrestleMania rematch between Jey Uso and Gunther has been teased the last two weeks on Raw. The winner of Saturday's match is set to defend the World Heavyweight title against Gunther on the June 9 episode of Raw.
PREDICTION: Jey Uso defeats Logan Paul to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.
I have no doubt that Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker will win and solidify their place as the most feared force in WWE. The real mystery is how and if Rollins and Breakker will add a third member to their faction Saturday.
While Sami Zayn turning on CM Punk and being unveiled as the third member is possible, it seems too predictable. I think Austin Theory would be the ideal candidate to join the group down the line, but a timely distraction by Punk's former manager Paul Heyman should do the trick Saturday.
PREDICTION: Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker defeat CM Punk and Sami Zayn.
I feel the need to point out that R-Truth actually defeated John Cena in their most recent singles encounter. On a 2011 episode of Raw best remembered for CM Punk's revolutionary 'pipe bomb' promo, R-Truth took advantage of Punk's interference to spear then-WWE Champion John Cena through a table in a non-title Tables Match.
While the fact that the title does not seem to be on the line Saturday leaves the door open for an upset, I fully expect Cena to win so that he can move on to a more credible threat. My only question is if R-Truth will be able to make his childhood hero see the of error of his ways post-match.
PREDICTION: John Cena defeats R-Truth.
This bitter rivalry is destined to culminate in a Last Man Standing Match, perhaps as part of the first ever two-night SummerSlam in August. The animosity and sheer brutality between these two going back to WrestleMania last year warrants it.
We got a preview of what that match could look like at Backlash, when Priest hit McIntyre with a thunderous South of Heaven chokeslam through a pair of tables amid the crowd. For that to happen, Priest has to win Saturday to match McIntyre's win at WrestleMania 41.
PREDICTION: Damian Priest defeats Drew McIntyre.

Dwayne ‘The Rock' Johnson reveals frustrating gut-health issue that took him years to fix
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson had a digestive issue that he couldn't kick — and no answers in sight. Johnson, one of WWE and Hollywood's biggest stars, opened up about his health journey during a recent conversation with the man who saw him through to the other side in Dr. Mark Hyman. The 53-year-old, after years of dealing with the gut issue, had a conversation with former agent and longtime business partner Ari Emanuel about it at the end of 2023. Advertisement 3 Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson speaks on his gut-health issues. The Mark Hyman Show/YouTube 'He's like, 'What's going on?' I said, 'I've seen doctors and I can't quite nail it. I can't quite fix it. It's in my digestion,' Johnson said during 'The Mark Hyman Show.' 'I feel great — and that's the odd thing — but I just can't crack it.'' Emanuel, the CEO of Endeavor and WWE's parent company, TKO, mentioned seeing Hyman, who practices functional medicine. Advertisement The two eventually connected for a virtual visit. Johnson admitted he knew nothing about functional medicine, which, according to the Institute for Functional Medicine, provides a framework to systematically identify and address the underlying processes and dysfunctions that are causing imbalance and disease in each individual. 'You said, very succinctly, 'I'm not going to treat your symptoms. I'm going to go deeper than that and treat the root cause of what's going on,'' Johnson said. 'And I said, 'I love that.'' Advertisement The treatment began in early 2024, with Johnson set to begin his 'Final Boss' run to WrestleMania 40 with WWE. Getting to what was holding Johnson back took some heavy digging, Hyman noted. They did blood panels and a stool test, among other things, to get to the source of the problem. Johnson was in for a grueling year with WWE commitments, the release of 'Red One' and 'Moana 2,' and filming for his upcoming movie 'The Smashing Machine.' 3 Dwayne Johnson attends the 'Moana 2' UK Premiere at Cineworld Leicester Square on November 24, 2024 in London, England. Getty Images 'That was at the beginning of 2024, and I was just getting ready to launch into what would become a nine-month workload for me — nonstop work,' Johnson said. 'And I was thinking, 'Holy s–t, how am I going to get through this with my gut issues? I'm not digesting properly.'' Advertisement Luckily, Hyman was able to provide Johnson some relief, finding the issue began after he took multiple rounds of antibiotics, which messed with the bacteria in his gut. He was missing Akkermansia, which coats the lining of the intestine and protects from inflammation and a leaky gut, Hyman said. 3 Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and John Cena fight during Night 2 at Lincoln Financial Field on April 7, 2024 in Philadelphia. Getty Images 'We basically rehabbed your gut. Gave you probiotics and plant compounds—pomegranate, green tea, cranberry — to help rebuild it,' Hyman said. 'And we made you this amazing gut health shake with 10-plus ingredients personalized for you.' Johnson hasn't wrestled in WWE since, but was the catalyst for John Cena's heel turn earlier this year.

'WWE Raw' Ends in Shocking Fashion With New Champion
'WWE Raw' Ends in Shocking Fashion With New Champion originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Gunther is now a two-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion. One night after he competed in a tag team main event at "Money in the Bank 2025," Jey Uso put the top male prize on the red brand on the line against "The Ring General."

It was a surprising finish for those who thought Rollins would successfully cash in his MITB briefcase. Such a move would've marked Rollins' second reign with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. He also would've been a six-time WWE world champion, but it wasn't meant to be on this night. Uso thought he had the match won when he hit a spear on Gunther, followed by the Uso Splash. The challenger ended up kicking out. Advertisement Uso's injured ribs was a major talking point on commentary. The aforementioned attacks from Rollins, Breakker, and Reed were to blame for Uso's injury. Reed's Tsunami splashes during last week's episode of "Raw" proved to have done the most damage. Many are now left to wonder what WWE's plans are for "Raw's" world title just two months prior to "SummerSlam." Some were under the impression that Uso would hold onto the title at least until WWE's August PLE, but the reign didn't reach a full two months.
