WWE to cancel Saturday Night's Main Event match due to massive backstage fight and injury? Potential situation explored
WWE's upcoming event, Saturday Night's Main Event, is set to take place this weekend in Long Island, New York. The card looks quite promising, with five matches set to be featured on the show. However, there is a possibility that one of those bouts may be canceled at the last minute due to potential chaos that might erupt before the show.
Drew McIntyre and Sami Zayn are set to face each other in a one-on-one match at Saturday Night's Main Event, which was made official this week. However, before the match can begin, things may take a cruel turn, and why not? Moments before their big clash, both superstars could be involved in a massive brawl backstage, with Zayn eventually falling prey to the ambush.
McIntyre, who has been bloodthirsty, could unleash a merciless assault on the former Intercontinental Champion in the parking lot, causing absolute mayhem. As a result, Adam Pearce might rush to the scene with a horde of security personnel to separate The Scottish Warrior. Meanwhile, Sami Zayn could be lying bruised and battered on the ground after the potential attack.
The 40-year-old could soon be escorted to the doctor's room to receive a medical evaluation. In a shocking turn of events, Adam Peace could reveal that Zayn suffered a potential injury and, therefore, would be unable to compete. So the RAW General Manager may be left with no option but to scrap the Drew McIntyre vs Sami Zayn match from the card.
But why could this happen in the first place? This is because Saturday Night's Main Event is set to be a two-hour show, and there may not be enough time to accommodate five matches properly. A match getting scrapped will provide other bouts with the desired runtime. Also, if the above scenario unfolds, the rivalry between Zayn and McIntyre will be taken to a whole new level.
However, the abovementioned angle is entirely speculative at this point.
WWE to stretch this rivalry till Saturday Night's Main Event: January 2025?
This week on RAW, Drew McIntyre justified his actions behind attacking Sami Zayn and Jey Uso. He was disgruntled with the fact that both superstars teamed up with Roman Reigns, and why not? After everything the 39-year-old went through, his rage was quite understandable.
Unable to stand them, McIntyre decided to come for revenge on The OG Bloodline members. Although he is set for a clash with Zayn at this weekend's event, their feud is expected to stretch beyond Saturday Night's Main Event. It is likely to open a new chapter with more layers unfolding in the coming weeks.
WWE is set to host another edition of Saturday Night's Main Event on January 25 from San Antonio, Texas, and this could be the place where this rivalry will culminate. In the meantime, Jey Uso could also get involved in the mix with Drew McIntyre's feud with Sami Zayn.
It looks like the former WWE Champion's ultimate goal is to hunt down Roman Reigns, the very man responsible for the recent events. As a result, we can expect The Scottish Warrior to move to SmackDown by the beginning of next year, when WWE's transfer window roster changes may come into effect.
