Saturday Night’s Main Event returns this weekend with a stacked lineup.
Before SummerSlam 2026, WWE will deliver the third Saturday Night’s Main Event of 2026. The 45th edition will take place on July 18 at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York.
The upcoming event marks the first SNME to be held at Madison Square Garden since the 35th edition of the show in August 2007. Multiple top names are confirmed for the show in The World’s Most Famous Arena. WWE has also announced matches and segments, some of which directly lead into SummerSlam.
Danhausen is all set to take on Judgment Day’s JD McDonagh in singles action at MSG on July 18. The match has now been made a no-disqualification match, which likely means total chaos for fans as Judgment Day will probably interfere.
On the other hand, Brie Bella and Paige will defend the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles against Fatal Influence’s Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley.
The show will air on Peacock in the United States and on YouTube in most international markets, while Indian fans can tune into Sony Liv to watch the show live.
Before their title clash, Undisputed Champion CM Punk and Cody Rhodes will team up to take on ‘The Ring General’ Gunther and Sami Zayn, who will return for the first time since losing the Undisputed title after nine days against Punk.
Furthermore, Bayley and Lyra Valkyria met face-to-face for the first time since Lyra turned on Bayley, ending their tag team runs. The segment ended in a match announcement for SNME, as both women are now gearing up for the grudge match this weekend.
Additionally, as announced by the promotion, New York Knicks’ Jalen Brunson has accepted Roman Reigns’ invitation for SNME, and both stars will be in attendance on the show in New York.
