Predicted Match Card for WWE Saturday Night's Main Event following Survivor Series 2025

WWE Survivor Series 2025 is now behind us!

WWE’s upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event is shaping up to be one of the most emotionally charged specials in years. The show will not only carry the fallout from Survivor Series: WarGames, but it will also host the final match of John Cena’s legendary career.

With additional matches teasing WWE NXT vs main-roster showcases, WWE aims to create a night that blends nostalgia, elevation, and future-focused storytelling.

It’s already been announced that several rising stars will be spotlighted, much like Cena’s selections for both Iron Survivor Challenges this year. With that direction in mind, here are the full match card predictions for the historic event.

Trick Williams vs Sheamus

Trick Williams has embraced the role of a brash heel who believes he belongs in every major conversation. Despite a string of losses in his quest to reclaim the NXT Championship, he remains a central figure in the developmental brand.

A bout with Sheamus, who recently teamed with Cena and Rey Mysterio against The Judgment Day, feels like a natural progression.

Sheamus is one of WWE’s most reliable veterans, capable of bringing out the best in emerging stars. Williams hanging with him would elevate his stock while reinforcing the show’s theme of spotlighting the future.

Kelani Jordan vs Bayley

Kelani Jordan appears to be one of the safest bets for the NXT showcase matches. She lost the Knockouts title and was immediately selected for the Iron Survivor Challenge on the same night, signaling that officials remain high on her. While Sol Ruca may have been another strong candidate, her trajectory seems aligned with an upcoming title program.

Bayley, meanwhile, stepped aside during the WarGames build, and the former multi-time Women’s Champion deserves a spotlight on a major event. Pairing her with Jordan gives WWE a story that highlights both experience and potential while continuing the narrative of elevating NXT’s brightest.

Jaida Parker vs Lyra Valkyria

Jaida Parker’s absence from the Iron Survivor Challenge raised some eyebrows, especially since she’s consistently been part of NXT’s big selection pool along with Lola Vice and Sol Ruca.

WWE may have held her back for something bigger. Her tweener persona, cheating when needed but still receiving cheers, makes her a compelling foil for Lyra Valkyria.

Valkyria also took a back seat during WarGames season, making this the perfect stage for two rising stars to clash. Both women represent the next wave of talent, and giving them a standalone match on a high-profile card aligns with WWE’s stated goals for the event.

Je’Von Evans vs Rey Mysterio

Je’Von Evans seems destined for the Saturday Night’s Main Event card. He’s been featured heavily in NXT and has already dipped his toes into main-roster waters this year. Despite losses to Gunther and Sami Zayn, Evans has gained credibility through strong performances.

A dream matchup with Rey Mysterio feels like a natural next step. Their styles complement each other, and Evans has already shown, through matches with stars like Rey Fenix, that he can deliver elite high-flying work. Whether Evans wins the Iron Survivor Challenge or not, this match would be a standout attraction.

John Cena vs Gunther

The main event is the emotional anchor of the night: John Cena’s final match. The Last Time is Now Tournament has narrowed the field, and while LA Knight has a compelling case, Gunther stands out as the most meaningful opponent.

Gunther’s aura took a hit after losing the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam, and a historic clash with Cena would immediately restore his momentum. Facing Cena in his last-ever match offers both closure and elevation, a fitting blend of the past and future.
