 WWE has confirmed a big Roman Reigns move for Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The July 18, 2026, edition of SNME will take place at the legendary Madison Square Garden. As of this writing, three matches have been announced. They are as follows:

  • Danhausen vs. JD McDonagh
  • Paige and Brie Bella (c) vs. Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley – Women’s Tag Team Championship Match
  • CM Punk and Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther and Sami Zayn

While Roman Reigns will not compete in any match, he is still set for a blockbuster appearance during Saturday Night’s Main Event. The OTC even invited New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson to the show with a post on X (formerly Twitter).

For those unaware, Brunson has previously attended a WWE show at MSG. He helped LA Knight qualify for the Money in the Bank match on the June 28, 2024, episode of SmackDown.

Not long after, the Stamford-based promotion’s X handle confirmed that Roman Reigns and Jalen Brunson will have a segment at Madison Square Garden this Saturday.

Roman Reigns may not have a match at SNME, but he will face a ghost from his past, Seth Rollins, at SummerSlam 2026. Could The Visionary ruin Reigns and Brunson’s moment? Only time will tell.
