Gunther vs. Finn Balor title match set for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event

Gunther will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor of The Judgment Day at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The new World title match was made official for the Saturday, December 14 event in a backstage segment on Monday’s Raw by GM Adam Pearce.

Balor attacked Gunther on Monday’s Raw after Gunther defeated Balor’s Judgment Day comrade Dominik Mysterio, laying the champ out with multiple double stomps off the top rope.

Pearce also intimated that Balor will have to defend the World Tag Team titles with JD McDonagh on the card, saying that he will discuss Balor’s other title match with him on next week’s Raw.

Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens is already official for SNME, plus Liv Morgan defending the Women’s World Championship against IYO SKY was added to the lineup during Monday’s Raw.

The updated card for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, airing Saturday, December 14 at 8 p.m. Eastern time on NBC:

  • Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes defends against Kevin Owens
  • World Heavyweight Champion Gunther defends against Finn Balor
  • Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan defends against IYO SKY

Women’s World Championship match booked for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event

The Women’s World Championship will be on the line at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14.

As revealed during Monday’s Raw, Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan will defend her title against IYO SKY at Saturday Night’s Main Event set for Saturday, December 14.

Morgan and SKY were on opposite sides of the women’s WarGames match at last Saturday’s Survivor Series, with Morgan pinned by Rhea Ripley.

On Monday’s Raw, Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez defeated SKY and Kairi Sane in tag team action, then continued to attack the losing team after the match. Ripley ran in to save, but was sent face-first into the announce table, selling the orbital injury that kept Ripley sidelined for months.

Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens is the other bout currently set for the return of Saturday Night’s Main Event to NBC.

The announced card to this point:

WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, Saturday, December 14, 8 p.m. Eastern time on NBC —

  • Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes defends against Kevin Owens
  • Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan defends against IYO SKY
