Following WWE Night of Champions 2025, which concluded with scintillating performances and intense feuds that led to more storyline developments, the Stamford-based promotion is set to host another major event this week, Saturday Night’s Main Event (SNME).

The event went live at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, and opened the match with an intense feud between Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton.As Drew McIntyre returned to SmackDown to interrupt Orton and Cody Rhodes on July 4. During the SmackDown match, The Viper, however, was not in the mood for The Scottish Psychopath and responded with an RKO out of nowhere, setting the stage for what should be another classic collision between the rivals. This was followed by a retaliation by McIntyre in last week’s SmackDown on July 11, when Drew McIntyre also entered the mix by delivering a Claymore Kick to The Viper. Logan Paul attempted to attack Orton further, but Jelly Roll stopped him. This confrontation led Randy Orton to lock horns with Drew McIntyre, accompanied by Logan Paul and Jelly Roll.
