Shawn Michaels to oversee contract signing while Braun Strowman vs. Jacob Fatu is made official


Summary

– Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens will sign their Royal Rumble contract at Saturday Night’s Main Event with Shawn Michaels present

– Braun Strowman vs. Jacob Fatu was officially added to the card following a heated confrontation

– The event will take place at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, ahead of the 2025 Royal Rumble

WWE’s next Saturday Night’s Main Event on January 25 just got a major shake-up. The January 17 episode of SmackDown added new stakes to the show, setting up key angles for the upcoming Royal Rumble.

Throughout SmackDown, Nick Aldis tried to get Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens to sign an amended contract for their ladder match at the Royal Rumble. Both competitors refused, holding out until their opponents signed first. The situation escalated when Owens controversially defeated Rey Mysterio, prompting Cody Rhodes to rush down and stop Owens from attacking the WWE Hall of Famer.

Following the match, Aldis informed Rhodes that WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels would be present at Saturday Night’s Main Event to oversee the official contract signing between Rhodes and Owens. At that time, they will surrender their titles, which will be hung above the ring in preparation for their ladder match on February 1.

The night will also feature a highly anticipated clash between Braun Strowman and Jacob Fatu. Tensions between the two erupted on SmackDown after Solo Sikoa walked out, leading to a heated confrontation that has now been made official for the event.

Saturday Night’s Main Event will occur at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, and will be a must-watch show ahead of the Royal Rumble. With these major additions, all eyes will be on what unfolds before WWE’s first premium live event of 2025.
