WWE Saturday Night's Main Event 5/23 Updated Match Card, Start Time, Where To Watch

This weekend, WWE holds the 44th edition of Saturday Night's Main Event in Fort Wayne, Indiana, at the Allen County Memorial Coliseum.

The show takes place just a couple of weeks before the Clash in Italy PLE, which, so far, has a much bigger feel than this show. After all, that card already includes Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther, Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi, and World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu.

In contrast, Saturday Night's Main Event feels like a show without a true main event. Still, following last night's RAW, we appear to have a full match card, including three title bouts. 

WWE Intercontinental Championship Match
Penta (c) vs. Ethan Page

WWE World Tag Team Championship Match
The Vision (Logan Paul & Austin Theory) (c) vs. The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford)

WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Match
Paige & Brie Bella (c) vs. The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax & Lash Legend)

Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss vs. Jade Cargill, Michin, B-Fab

Sol Ruca vs Becky Lynch

Saturday Night's Main Event begins at 8 pm ET on Peacock in the U.S. and will be free to watch on YouTube internationally. A pre-show is expected to begin at 7 pm ET.

Lynch is the Women's Intercontinental Champion, but refused to put the title on the line against Ruca during last night's RAW. However, it seems the goal of this feud with the former NXT star is to help put her on the map in a big way. 

Talking to Chris Van Vliet earlier this year, Lynch opened up on her past comments that this could be her final WWE run:

"I think I said this is likely my last one. That’s not a sure [thing], but, yeah, no, it might be, could be. I don’t know, it could be longer, but you never want to outstay your welcome. Although, I’m in my prime, I can go, plenty left in the tank. But I also have my daughter at home, and maybe I’ll want another one, and at some point, you have to just be happy with what you’ve done. But again, the love of what I do, that’s not going anywhere, but there’s a lot that goes in, around it and behind it. I suppose you never want to just leave spinning your wheels. You always want to move up. But again, that’s also not true, because sometimes I just go, what do I want to do? What would I think is fun? Maybe nobody else will, but this is what I want to do, and this is what I’m happy doing."

"I just want to tell good stories, have good matches. Want to make sure that the business is better when I leave it than how I found it. I know that what I have done is prove that women could be the biggest stars in this company, and they are and can be. I think sometimes we need to fight to make sure we’re positioned as such, because you can be a huge name, but if you’re not positioned in the main event. It’s very easy when we condition the audience, this person’s the main event, this person’s the main event, this person’s the main event, we see them as the main event. When we don’t condition the audience, then it becomes a little bit harder. And for the last few years, I think we’ve, for the most part, those main events have gone to two, maybe three, four dudes constantly. I think we need to change that again. I think we need to."
