Goodbye, Saturday Night's Main Event. Welcome, Sunday Night's Main Event. For the first time in its four-decade history, the iconic professional wrestling series moves to Sunday. Taking place in Atlanta, Cody Rhodes, a superstar with multi-generational ties to the city, headlines the card.
Rhodes takes on his WrestleMania rival Randy Orton in a rematch months in the making. Orton delivered a devastating punt to Rhodes to end their match and Rhodes has been keen on getting his lick back ever since. Orton recently made his return to WWE TV and nearly delivered a similar blow to the one he did in the WrestleMania leadup where Rhodes head was placed on the ring steps and Orton smacked it with a chair. This time, authorities intervened in time.
Perhaps the biggest match on Sunday, though, sees a pair of rising stars square off as Bron Breakker faces Oba Femi. Breakker has been tunnel-vision focused on Femi since seeing his mentor, Paul Heyman, approve of Femi's action at SummerSlam where Femi bested Brock Lesnar. Breakker is worried he is losing his mentor to another superstar and wants to prove himself again on Sunday.
Elsewhere on Saturday, an interesting match with stakes attached as rapper Lil Yachty makes his in-ring debut against Baron Corbin. The match carries an interesting stipulation. If Lil Yachty can last five minutes in the ring with the United States champion, his friend Trick Williams will get another crack at the title he once held. Corbin beat Williams for the U.S. title at SummerSlam.
Plus, a six-woman tag team match is set for Sunday when Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley join forces to take on Jade Cargill, Michin and B-Fab. If recent history is any indicator, expect the Fatal Influence -- Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid -- to make their presence felt in the match.
Below is how you can catch all the action on Sunday night.
