WWE Saturday Evening’s Principal Occasion returns this weekend with a loaded present that includes all the things from a world heavyweight championship match to one of many in-ring stops on John Cena’s retirement tour.

Cena is not going to be placing his undisputed WWE championship on the road when he faces R-Fact on Saturday evening. Cena vs. Fact is as an alternative a match primarily based round Cena’s assault on Fact on the Backlash post-event press convention and Fact’s try to remind his hero of who he’s at his core.

World heavyweight champion Jey Uso will tackle social media star turned half time WWE celebrity Logan Paul with the title on the road. The winner on Saturday evening may have a date set with Gunther at a future episode of Uncooked to defend the crown after the upcoming Cash within the Financial institution PPV in June. Paul has gotten the upperhand all through the quick construct to this match by touchdown a shock knockout punch after every encounter.

One of many extra intriguing matches on Saturday will likely be when the metal cage is lowered across the ring when Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre face off. The 2 have had an extremely prolonged feud that many thought would finish at WrestleMania with a Sin Metropolis Avenue Battle, however the two have continued to be at one another’s throats, together with brawling by the gang and taking one another out of a deadly four-way match for america championship at Backlash. Now, they give the impression of being to settle the rating for good contained in the metal construction. 

Let’s check out who the CBS Sports activities wrestling specialists assume will take residence massive victories on Saturday evening.

Saturday Evening’s Principal Occasion predictions

World Heavyweight Championship — Jey Uso (c) vs. Logan Paul: Uso is not dropping his world heavyweight title so quickly, and definitely to not Paul. This match is designed to offer the champion a win in opposition to a giant crossover star. Paul’s success is not measured by win percentages, however by his relevance past the ropes. Uso ought to win cleanly earlier than rematching Gunther on June 9. Choose: Jey Uso retains the title — Shakiel Mahjouri (additionally Brent Brookhouse)

John Cena vs. R-Fact: On Oct. 31, 1989, The Genius defeated Hulk Hogan on Saturday Evening’s Principal Occasion. Let me go forward and choose a little bit of that upset magic for Saturday evening and aspect with Fact to get the win. The title is not on the road, so there isn’t any hurt in having a little bit little bit of enjoyable when Cena would not actually have a transparent route for what’s subsequent, so somebody may even come assist Fact get the win and arrange Cena’s subsequent title protection. Cena’s title reign has misplaced momentum and perhaps a loss would drive him into extra of a rage and add a little bit of gas to issues. Cena likes Fact, so why would not he agree to offer him a little bit second on Saturday Evening’s Principal Occasion? Choose: R-Fact wins — Brookhouse

Cena doesn’t have a title challenger two weeks faraway from Cash within the Financial institution. If he will defend the title on June 7, WWE ought to plant the seeds this weekend. Both somebody prices Cena the match with Fact, organising a title rematch, or somebody rescues Fact from a post-fight match beatdown, organising a contemporary match. The non-title match presents a uncommon alternative for Cena to lose, however I will cut up the distinction and vote in opposition to Brent. Choose: John Cena wins — Mahjouri

CM Punk & Sami Zayn vs. Seth Rollins & Bron Breakker: The Rollins and Breakker union wants to remain sturdy this early into the story. That is a disgrace for Punk and Zayn, who seemingly aren’t in place to get a giant win right here. I do not know that there is any want for any shenanigans to get to the end result, Rollins and Breakker ought to get the victory and go away Punk, Zayn and the remainder of the locker room attempting to determine easy methods to cope with this highly effective new group shifting ahead. Rollins can be on a path towards the world heavyweight championship, so he must be stored sturdy on this tag match. Choose: Seth Rollins & Bron Breakker win — Brookhouse (additionally Mahjouri)

Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre (Metal Cage Match): I am shocked the McIntyre-Priest feud continued past WrestleMania. McIntyre’s victory appeared like a pivot level for each males. WWE has booked the feud evenly, which means it is Priest time to degree the rating. I believe he’ll go away SNME along with his hand raised. Choose: Priest wins — Mahjouri (additionally Brookhouse)
