Cody Rhodes Beats Kevin Owens in Controversial Fashion to Retain WWE Title During 12/14 Saturday Night's Main Event

Saturday Night’s Main Event returned to the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New Jersey. The night included a lot of reasons to watch, including Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes finally colliding with the Undisputed World Title on the line.

This match closed out the show on NBC, with Chelsea Green’s WWE Women’s United States Championship win going on second to last. Kevin Owens’ Undisputed WWE World Title shot also received a bit of attention with a video package before everything kicked off.

Fans in New Jersey were amped up for this match, and both Superstars received a decent reception. Of course, Cody Rhodes was the overwhelming babyface in the match, with Kevin Owens getting booed heavily. Jesse “The Body” Ventura also sat in on commentary alongside Michael Cole and Pat McAfee for this main event match.

This was a back-and-forth match, and the two received about twenty minutes to give it their all in the squared circle. After several near falls, and bringing the fans to a fever pitch, they finally rounded the corner toward the finish of the match.

In the end, the finish came after the referee took a bump outside the ring and that blew a chance for Kevin Owens to win the match. Another referee ran down, but Cody Rhodes kicked out. Then Rhodes got a Superkick before he accidentally took out the second referee with a Cody Cutter. At that point, Owens got a steel chair, and he brought it in the ring, but Cody nailed a Cody Cutter and a Crossroads on the chair without a referee around. Then the referee counted to three and Cody retained his title. In the end, Owens didn’t use the chair, but Cody did.

After WWE Bad Blood 2024, Kevin Owens attacked Cody Rhodes in the parking lot. Later on, Owens said that whatever happened to Randy Orton was Cody Rhodes’ fault. After all, Owens laid Orton out with a piledriver during the November 8 episode of SmackDown, and he’s been out of action since then. We will have to see what is next for the Undisputed WWE Championship, but Cody Rhodes will likely close out 2024 with the title.

Saturday Night’s Main Event returned to the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New Jersey. The night brought out some pro wrestling legends, and that gave a perfect opportunity for an epic photo-op.

CM Punk was not booked for Saturday Night’s Main Event, but he didn’t miss the show. During the show, he had a chance to log onto social media and blow fans minds a bit.

During the Saturday Night’s Main Event broadcast, several legends including Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, Coco Beware, Tito Santana, and Jimmy Hart were all introduced during the show. They were given love from the WWE fans in New Jersey and they all got a bit of face time on NBC.

During an Instagram story, CM Punk posted a photo of himself standing backstage with all those legends. It was quite a photo-op, and one that wouldn’t have happened if WWE didn’t hold this historic event in New Jersey.

We will have to see what is next for CM Punk when it comes to WWE storylines. He’s at odds with Seth Rollins, but things could get very interesting as we get closer to the road to WrestleMania 41. It was great to see Punk at Saturday Night’s Main Event, even if he wasn’t booked on the card.

CM Punk loves pro wrestling history, and he was certainly in the house in New Jersey for Saturday Night’s Main Event. Several legends were in the house as well, and Punk wanted to meet them.

Chelsea Green Becomes First-Ever WWE Women's United States Champion at 12/14 Saturday Night's Main Event

Saturday Night’s Main Event returned to the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New Jersey. The night was certain to include a lot of newsworthy matches, including one that was guaranteed to make history.

During the show, WWE crowned its first Women’s United States Champion. This match went on right after GUNTHER retained the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in a triple threat match against Finn Balor and Damian Priest. Chelsea Green and Michin were ready to give their all to win the title. This match was also seven years to the day from Green winning her first pro wrestling championship.

Chelsea Green had Piper Niven with her for this match as she sought her first singles title in WWE. Green’s ring gear was covered of pictures of her own face, and she had one long leg and another short just like Zack Ryder used to wear, which was a nice touch. Michin made her way to the ring as Michael Cole mentioned how she beat Green in that infamous dumpster match in October.

The fact that both of these women are former TNA Knockouts Champions also made it into Michael Cole’s commentary during the match. These two women have a lot of history with each other, and this match only adds to that.

After a back-and-forth match, the finish came when Chelsea Green landed her Unprettier and she secured the win. This made Chelsea Green the first-ever WWE Women’s United States Champion, and she celebrated in a big way. We can only imagine that celebration will continue.

SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis first introduced the newly created title during the November 8 episode of SmackDown. The match determined who would make history by becoming the first-ever Women’s United States Champion. It was later announced that the RAW Women’s Division will also get its own Intercontinental Title.

The tournament to determine the inaugural champion featured a tournament of packed matchups. On the December 13 episode of SmackDown, it was confirmed that Chelsea Green would face Michin in the finals at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The venue tonight is significant in WWE history, as it also hosted the very first Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 10, 1985. Nearly 40 years later, Chelsea Green made history as she celebrated a huge title win.

Liv Morgan Defeats IYO Sky to Retain Her Title During 12/14 WWE Saturday Night's Main Event

Saturday Night’s Main Event returned to the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, and there was a lot to unpack from the show. The event included a few title matches, including Liv Morgan putting her Women’s World Title on the line.

Liv Morgan put her Women’s World Championship on the line against IYO SKY. The Damage CTRL member, who recently turned babyface as part of the Survivor Series: WarGames build, earned her title shot by winning a battle royal.

This match was the second of the night, right after Drew McIntyre beat Sami Zayn to kick off the show. This match got the crowd going from the opening bell, and they took a commercial break right after IYO Sky nailed a dive off the top rope to the floor on Morgan.

After a hard fought back-and-forth match, after Liv Morgan nailed an Oblivion to get a clean pinfall. Morgan pulled this off after she got her feet up and nailed IYO Sky during her Over The Moonsault.

Liv Morgan’s celebration didn’t last long, because Rhea Ripley came out to make her presence known. She stood next to Morgan and stared a whole into her and the WWE Women’s World Title. They obviously have unfinished business.

Morgan left the match as the champion, but she may be banged up. Michael Cole made reference to how she may have broken her nose during the match thanks to a knee to the face from IYO Sky.

Liv Morgan is riding high with a 200+ day reign as Women’s World Champion after she won the title from Becky Lynch at King & Queen of the Ring 2024 in Saudi Arabia. She has been able to avoid all challengers, including Rhea Ripley, to keep that title. Only time will tell how much longer she has for her reign.

Drew McIntyre Defeats Sami Zayn During 12/14 WWE Saturday Night's Main Event

WWE fans had several reasons to tune into the company’s big show on December 14, 2024. Saturday Night’s Main Event returned to the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New Jersey and that included a banger between Sami Zayn and Drew McIntyre, as he wanted to go after anyone who supports Roman Reigns and the OG Bloodline.

This match started off the special broadcast on NBC. While Sami Zayn took a brunt of the punishment at the start, and he took a bump over the announce table before the commercial break, the Underdog From The Underground kept fighting back.

In the end, the finish came when Drew McIntyre hit a Claymore Kick out of nowhere. This came after Sami Zayn nearly won on several occasions.

Sami Zayn and Drew McIntyre had a lot of animosity between them as they rolled into Saturday Night’s Main Event. The rivalry really got off to a big start when McIntyre ambushed Zayn during the December 2 episode of WWE RAW upon his return to television.

Zayn wasn’t happy about that at all, so he challenged McIntyre to a one-on-one match at Saturday Night’s Main Event. The challenge was quickly accepted by the Scottish Warrior. This marked McIntyre’s first match since his Hell in a Cell clash with CM Punk at Bad Blood 2024. Now, Sami Zayn will have to continue chasing a win against Drew McIntyre.
