Tonight, WWE returns to Peacock for an all-new edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event.
The Jan. 24, 2026, episode is headlined by a big four-way matchup that will see Damian Priest, Sami Zayn, Trick Williams, and Randy Orton compete for the chance to face WWE undisputed champion Drew McIntyre at next weekend’s Royal Rumble.
The card also features a huge grudge match between former WWE champ Cody Rhodes and Jacob Fatu. As well as the latest title defense of women’s tag team champions Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky.
Below you can find all the results, top highlights, and grades for every match on this evening’s Saturday Night’s Main Event card.
Cody Rhodes vs. Jacob Fatu
Usually, a major matchup ending in disqualification, especially early in the bout, will frustrate fans. It is such an unsatisfying end to a match. However, Rhodes and Fatu did do a very good job of making something out of nothing by brawling throughout the crowd and building. McIntyre arriving late to leave both men lying in a heap was an interesting way to end a wild melee.
- Winner: Disqualification
- Grade: B+
Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky vs. Liv Morgan & Roxanne Perez (Women’s Tag Championship)
These four women are some of the very best performers in the division, anywhere in the world, and they delivered a highly entertaining matchup at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Perez and Morgan were surprisingly dominant for much of the match until a hot streak late for the champs.
However, their Judgment Day pal Raquel Rodriguez made the save and seemed to set her friends up for a huge win. Instead, her efforts were thwarted by a now healthy Stephanie Vaquer, who ran her off. The champs were able to recover and score a successful title defense in a really fun match.
- Winner: Ripley and Sky
- Grade: A
AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
To the surprise of no one, AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura once again showed why they have outstanding chemistry together, and both returning to their roots with their gear was a great addition.
While both are far removed from their prime, and it took them some time to find a groove, the last 10 minutes of the match was very good and very physical. In the end, as expected, Styles gets the W ahead of a win or retire match next weekend against Gunther.
- Winner: Styles
- Grade: A
Trick Williams vs. Damian Priest vs. Randy Orton vs. Sami Zayn (No. 1 Contender to WWE Title)
The winner of the night’s headliner earned a shot at the WWE title next weekend, and all four men fought hard for the right. The four-way matchup was a hard-hitting affair where every man had key moments. From the second he entered the arena, Williams was a standout and was impressive, swimming with the sharks of SmackDown.
However, the hometown favorite Zayn was able to get the pinfall on Priest to set up another huge matchup with a favorable crowd in Saudi Arabia in a week at the Royal Rumble.
- Winner: Zayn
- Grade: B+
