WWE is kicking it old school for its final show of 2024 as Saturday Night’s Main Event takes fans back to simpler times.

We’re guaranteed to get at least one new champion crowned on the star-studded evening. The Women’s U.S. Championship tournament concludes tonight as Michin squares off with Chelsea Green after each survived a thrilling series of triple-threat matches. All that’s left now is for the the pair to make history.

Speaking of triple-threat matches, we do have one! And it’s for the World Heavyweight Championship when Gunther will attempt to fend off Finn Balor and Damian Priest. Chaos, violent chops, broken announcer tables — this match will surely deliver all of it.

Also the lineup is a newly heated rivalry between Drew McIntyre and Sami Zayn — or more so, between McIntyre and all of the OG Bloodline.

The night’s centerpiece, however is undeniably the big Undisputed WWE Championship showcase, featuring the champion Cody Rhodes defending against an old friend-turned-bitter rival, Kevin Owens. Expect high emotions in an already tense rivalry, but even more thanks to the rich history Rhodes’ father, Dusty Rhodes, shares with the Saturday Night’s Main Event brand.

That leaves our Women’s World Championship match between champion Liv Morgan and challenger Iyo Sky, which could very easily steal the show. Who knows? Maybe Tiffany Stratton ends up being the one who literally steals the show from either woman with her Money in the Bank briefcase.

One thing’s for sure, it should be a memorable night inside the squared circle. Follow along below with us here at Uncrowned for all the live updates and happenings throughout the show.

Here’s a look at the full card for Saturday, which starts at 8 p.m. ET on NBC:

  • Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens

  • Women’s United States Championship: Chelsea Green def. Michin

  • World Heavyweight Championship: Gunther def. Damian Priest and Finn Balor

  • Women’s World Championship: Liv Morgan def. Iyo Sky

  • Drew McIntyre def. Sami Zayn

    RESULT: Chelsea Green def. Michin

    Michin’s focus on Piper Niven outside nearly costs her outside when she got back in the ring to work on Green. I’m glad it didn’t finish that way, but Niven ultimately did get involved again to a degree, setting up an insane rollover Unpretti-her off the top rope for Green. Great pop and reaction for the new champ. Well deserved crowning after another good match.

    Chelsea Green vs. Michin – Women’s United States Championship

    Chelsea Green has the most ridiculous outfit on. It’s just a bunch of little cutouts of her head all over herself. Perfectly Chelsea. History is about to be made here, and a little bit of history between her and Michin going back to TNA as well — oh, plus the “trash” match. I love that they shout out things like that on commentary now.

    RESULT: (C) Gunther def. Finn Balor and Damian Priest

    This match was everything I hoped for. The assortment of chaos you can get from a triple-threat match is just absurd, man. Gunther is becoming a triple-threat GOAT. Awesome, awesome match. Powerbombs landed all over the place at the end of this to keep Gunther as the champion.

  • Sun, December 15, 2024 at 4:57 a.m. GMT+3

    Yikes. That was a scary moment early in this one as Priest went for a dive over the ropes onto Gunther outside and appeared to get his thighs caught. That was almost a horrific botch. Thankfully, he avoided a broken neck and played it off like nothing happened. That’s a big body to fall flat like that though. Surely, it did not feel good.

  • Sun, December 15, 2024 at 4:54 a.m. GMT+3

    It was definitely a look.

  • Sun, December 15, 2024 at 4:52 a.m. GMT+3

    (C) Gunther vs. Finn Balor vs. Damian Priest – World Heavyweight Championship

    We’re moving right along, folks! Triple-threat title time! This is going to be good.

    Balor finally gets what he asked for, but with the bonus of Priest’s involvement. What are the odds this turns into a Priest and Gunther vs. Judgment Day match until it’s those two left standing?

  • Sun, December 15, 2024 at 4:46 a.m. GMT+3

    Rhea Ripley steps up to the champion.

    We knew we couldn’t have the Women’s World Championship match without an appearance from “Mami.” Rhea Ripley came out and stared down Liv Morgan after her win. I get what they’re going for here. Keep this lengthy story going. But it’s just gotten tired. What was the point of the tease with Sky on Monday then? I don’t know, man. That would have been a fun rivalry.

  • Sun, December 15, 2024 at 4:44 a.m. GMT+3
  • Sun, December 15, 2024 at 4:43 a.m. GMT+3

    RESULT: (C) Liv Morgan def. Iyo Sky

    Wow! And still! Morgan survives a nasty knee that looks like it came in hard. Sky was hit with a full extension foot counter from the champion into an ObLIVion. 1, 2, 3. There it is.

  • Sun, December 15, 2024 at 4:41 a.m. GMT+3
  • Sun, December 15, 2024 at 4:39 a.m. GMT+3

    Sky is on absolute fire in this match right now.

  • Sun, December 15, 2024 at 4:34 a.m. GMT+3
  • Sun, December 15, 2024 at 4:31 a.m. GMT+3

    (C) Liv Morgan vs. Iyo Sky – Women’s World Championship

    Here we go. Our first title match of the night is for the big one on the women’s roster. Liv Morgan and Iyo Sky have never gone one-on-one until now. Damage CTRL walked out with Sky and Morgan has Dominick Mysterio and Raquel Rodriguez. If shenanigans ensue, there will be chaos and presumably a Rhea Ripley appearance. It’s ime to find out.

    RESULT: Drew McIntyre def. Sami Zayn

    I would love to see the Blue Thunder Bomb actually finish people for Zayn but not this time. A great counter off McIntyre’s near-landing of the Claymore Kick for Zayn — which I will say that move doesn’t work with a countdown. You’re letting the opponent know what’s coming! It’s a similar nit-pick to Sweet Chin Music.

    In the end, McIntyre wisely rolls out of the ring to get a chase from Zayn out and back into the ring right into a Claymore Kick for the win. That was a very solid, fast, fun match. Zayn still hasn’t beaten McIntyre one-on-one.

  • Sun, December 15, 2024 at 4:19 a.m. GMT+3
  • Sun, December 15, 2024 at 4:14 a.m. GMT+3

    A fired-up Zayn is the best Zayn. The “Honorary Uce” attacked McIntyre before he even finished his entrance and the action is well underway. He’s also got some CM Punk-type tribute gear on. Maybe? What say you?

  • Sun, December 15, 2024 at 4:11 a.m. GMT+3

    Drew McIntyre vs. Sami Zayn

    Our lone non-title match of the evening starts the lineup of action. Drew McIntyre looks to begin his disassembly of The OG Bloodline with Canada’s Sami Zayn. McIntyre has been next-level with his character work this past year or so and this week was some excellent stuff in interviews he did. It should be a fun start to the show, folks.

  • Sun, December 15, 2024 at 4:08 a.m. GMT+3

    Jesse Ventura and Pat McAfee are back!

    We couldn’t have the show without “The Body,” right? As advertised, Jesse Ventura is here and in full form.

    But that’s not all, of course. Pat McAfee reunites with Michael Cole for the evening on commentary.

  • Sun, December 15, 2024 at 4:05 a.m. GMT+3

    Through the time machine.

    Wow. They’re going all out with this presentation. We have the old-school original WWF logo on the screens and everything.
