AJ Styles & Dragon Lee Set for Tag Title Defense at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event – WWE is closing in on Saturday Night’s Main Event, and the card for the December 13 show in Washington, D.C., continues to expand as new matches are confirmed on WWE RAW.
During the December 8 episode of RAW, officials announced a major championship bout for this weekend’s event at Capital One Arena. AJ Styles and Dragon Lee will put their WWE World Tag Team Championships on the line against an unlikely but dangerous pairing: NXT standout Je’Von Evans and reigning TNA X-Division Champion Leon Slater. The match adds another layer of crossover intrigue to a lineup already heavy with NXT and TNA representation, aligning with the theme of the show.
The event will be headlined by John Cena’s long-awaited retirement match. Cena’s final opponent will be GUNTHER, who earned the spot by winning “The Last Time Is Now” tournament. WWE has already confirmed that Cena vs. GUNTHER will open the show, a rare positioning for a retirement match but one that guarantees a high-energy start to the night. With GUNTHER’s history of ending legendary careers — including Bill Goldberg’s on a previous Saturday Night’s Main Event — the match has sparked speculation about whether he will close the book on yet another WWE icon.
Two more marquee bouts round out the evening. Bayley will go one-on-one with Sol Ruca in a match confirmed last week, while Undisputed WWE Champion “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes will face NXT Champion Oba Femi. Rhodes previously announced he would meet the winner of Femi vs. Ricky Saints from NXT Deadline, and with Femi regaining the NXT Title, the match is now official.
Here is the updated lineup for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13:
John Cena Retirement Match
John Cena vs. GUNTHER
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. NXT Champion Oba Femi
