あらすじ・解説
WWE's attempt to recapture the magic of Saturday Night's Main Event fell a bit flat, feeling more like a glorified house show than a must-see television event. While the retro presentation with classic sets and appearances by legendary figures like Jesse Ventura was a nice touch, the predictable booking and lack of significant developments left much to be desired.
With the exception of Chelsea Green's victory in the Women's United States Championship tournament, every match followed a familiar formula. Established stars like Drew McIntyre, Liv Morgan, and Gunther all emerged victoriously, reinforcing the status quo.
Even the main event, featuring Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens, played out as expected. Despite a referee bump and the introduction of a steel chair, Rhodes ultimately retained, adding another predictable outcome to a night of them.
While the action in the ring was certainly entertaining, the lack of surprises or meaningful storyline progression made the event feel somewhat inconsequential. It was a fun trip down memory lane for longtime fans, but ultimately lacked the excitement and unpredictability that defines truly memorable wrestling events.
The crowning of a new mid-card champion offered a glimmer of novelty, but it's hard to imagine the Women's United States Championship holding much weight in the grand scheme of things, especially given the frequent title changes and inconsistent booking that plague WWE's women's division.
In the end, this iteration of Saturday Night's Main Event served as a harmless dose of nostalgia, but failed to deliver the impactful moments and shocking twists that would elevate it beyond the level of a standard house show.
While it's understandable that WWE might be hesitant to drastically alter storylines or crown new champions on a special event like this, the lack of risk-taking ultimately resulted in a rather forgettable night of wrestling.
