Overview
- WWE will hold Saturday Night’s Main Event at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, July 18 with a four‑match, two‑hour card headlined by CM Punk and Cody Rhodes versus Sami Zayn and GUNTHER.
- The show is scheduled to begin at 8:00 p.m. ET and will stream on Peacock in the United States with Sony Sports Network and SonyLIV handling live coverage in India.
- SmackDown’s go‑home episode had no announced matches after GUNTHER’s on‑screen attack left GM Nick Aldis unavailable and Raw GM Adam Pearce temporarily running the blue brand.
- Industry reports via WrestleVotes say former two‑time TNA champion Mike Santana is expected to sign with WWE before the end of the summer and could plausibly debut at SNME, but that information is unconfirmed.
- CM Punk’s July return and brief title change forced short‑term booking shifts, so SNME will be watched for signs of tension between Punk and Cody Rhodes and for how WWE handles GUNTHER’s storyline consequences ahead of SummerSlam.
