Dave Meltzer Match Ratings WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event January 25

Cody Rhodes & Kevin Owens contract signing with Shawn Michaels

Dave Meltzer has published his match ratings for Saturday Night’s Main Event.

At Saturday Night’s Main Event, Jacob Fatu sent another huge warning to the WWE locker room with the destruction of Braun Strowman. Although he was disqualified from the match, Fatu utterly destroyed his rival, leaving him broken and bloody long after the final bell.

In the main event, Gunther retained his World Heavyweight Title with a hard-fought victory over Jey Uso. It was a night for the champions, as Rhea Ripley also beat Nia Jax to keep hold of her Women’s World Title while Sheamus was unable to wrestle the Intercontinental Title from Bron Breakker.

Elsewhere, there was a contract between Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes ahead of their Ladder Match for the Undisputed WWE Title at the Royal Rumble. In front of his hometown crowd, Shawn Michaels was tasked with keeping the peace, but the segment ended with him laying out Owens with Sweet Chin Music.
