Just when fans thought the stakes were locked in, WWE made a last-minute change to one of tonights Saturday Nights Main Event matches and its a major walk-back.
Originally, the tag team bout between AJ Styles & Dragon Lee and Leon Slater & JeVon Evans was set as a non-title match. But WWE.com briefly listed it as a World Tag Team Championship bout, showing that the titles would actually be on the line. Now, hours before showtime, that title stipulation has mysteriously vanished. In an update posted today, WWE revised the official match preview on its website, once again presenting the bout as a standard tag team match no titles involved.
This is a noticeable change from what the site said just days ago, where it was clearly stated the Tag Team Titles were on the line.
Theres no official word from WWE on why the change was made, but the quiet removal suggests the company either had second thoughts or never intended to run the match with championship stakes in the first place.
Its a rare move, especially considering the high-profile nature of tonights event at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., which is already sold out.
The main event? John Cenas retirement match against GUNTHER the final chapter in a legendary WWE career. Also on deck are matches featuring Cody Rhodes vs. Oba Femi, Bayley vs. Sol Ruca, and the now non-title tag team bout involving Evans and Slater.
While Cenas farewell is grabbing headlines, this last-minute match change was definitely unexpected. With or without gold on the line, the crowd will still be watching but its clear WWE is keeping its options flexible until the final bell.
WWE Saturday Nights Main Event December 13, 2025 Lineup:
- John Cena vs. GUNTHER
- Cody Rhodes vs. Oba Femi
- AJ Styles & Dragon Lee vs. JeVon Evans & Leon Slater
- Bayley vs. Sol Ruca
