WWE champions set to face NXT and TNA standouts on major stage
Summary
– AJ Styles and Dragon Lee will defend the WWE Tag Team Titles against Je’Von Evans and Leon Slater
– The announcement came during WWE RAW before Saturday Night’s Main Event
– The Usos also declared their return to the tag division after the match was confirmed
Saturday Night’s Main Event just gained a major attraction, as WWE confirmed a cross-company tag team title match featuring talent from WWE, NXT, and TNA. AJ Styles and Dragon Lee will defend their WWE Tag Team Titles against Je’Von Evans and TNA’s Leon Slater. The bout was officially added during the December 8 episode of RAW in Kansas City.
The announcement drew immediate attention, especially with Slater’s inclusion. John Cena previously vowed that NXT talent would receive meaningful opportunities during his farewell weekend, and this match aligns with that promise while also opening the door for TNA representation on a major WWE stage.
Moments after the match was revealed, The Usos entered the arena to declare themselves reunited and ready to re-enter the title hunt. Their return adds another layer to an already crowded division as the champions prepare for a high-stakes defense.
Whether Evans and Slater can shock the division remains to be seen, but the matchup marks one of the most unique title bouts on WWE programming in years.
HUGE announcement made during #WWERaw – @LEONSLATER_ and @WWEJeVonEvans will face @AJStylesOrg and @dragonlee95 THIS SATURDAY at Saturday Night's Main Event. @WWE
