Cody Rhodes vs Jacob Fatu Set for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on January 24 – Cody Rhodes and Jacob Fatu are officially set to collide at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on January 24. The match was confirmed during the January 16 episode of WWE SmackDown and stems directly from the chaotic ending to last week’s Undisputed WWE Championship bout.
The rivalry ignited during the Three Stages of Hell match between Rhodes and Drew McIntyre, where the championship ultimately changed hands. During the steel cage portion of the match, Jacob Fatu made his shocking return and interfered, attacking both competitors. As Rhodes and Fatu brawled inside the cage, McIntyre took advantage of the distraction and escaped to secure the victory, ending Rhodes’ title reign and becoming the new Undisputed WWE Champion.
On SmackDown, Rhodes addressed the interference and made it clear that Fatu’s actions would not go unanswered, stating that Fatu had a “receipt” coming. Later in the show, Fatu confronted Rhodes directly, and the situation quickly escalated into a physical altercation. WWE officials attempted to restore order, but the tension between the two made it clear that a singles match was inevitable.
Saturday Night’s Main Event now provides the stage for Rhodes to seek retribution against Fatu, while Fatu looks to further establish himself by taking out one of WWE’s top stars. With both men known for their intensity and physical style, their first-ever singles meeting carries major implications moving forward.
In addition to Rhodes versus Fatu, WWE has announced several key matches for the January 24 event. The WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships will be on the line as RHIYO, Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY, defend their titles against Judgment Day’s Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez. The card will also feature a high-stakes Undisputed WWE Championship number one contenders match, with Randy Orton vs. Trick Williams vs. Damian Priest vs. Sami Zayn now confirmed.
With unresolved issues surrounding the Undisputed WWE Championship and multiple title opportunities at stake, Saturday Night’s Main Event is shaping up to be a pivotal night on the WWE calendar as the road to the Royal Rumble continues.
