WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event match cardWorld Tag Team Championship — The Vision (Logan Paul & Austin Theory) (c) vs. The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford)Cargill and Co. steal one from Ripley, Flair and Bliss
A chaotic match with all six women getting a chance to showcase their stuff. The match reached its conclusion when Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley were finally able to put their differences aside and shake hands. After both women planted Michin and B-Fab, they embraced and were quickly joined by Alexa Bliss, who jumped into their arms. Jade Cargill took advantage of the celebrating trio and shoved Ripley into Flair and Bliss. Cargill then hit a super kick and Jaded for the pinfall. It’s the second straight night of Cargill hitting Ripley with her finisher. A solid enough match that helps move other storylines along toward a PLE next week. Grade: B+
Becky Lynch continues issues with referee in DQ, beats down Ruca post match
Sol Ruca, in her first main roster title match, gave Becky Lynch all she could handle. So much so that Lynch resorted to dirty tactics to retain her women’s intercontinental championship. Ruca was setting up Lynch for her signature Sol Snatcher in the corner when Lynch pulled referee Jessica Carr in front of herself to take the shot. Carr recognized what happened and declared Ruca the winner by DQ, meaning Lynch retained the title. Post-match, Lynch beat down Ruca with multiple Manhandle Slams to deliver her message to the rookie. An odd choice given the growth and development from Ruca early in her career, but it works in character with Lynch’s heel run. A fine enough spot since it was clear they weren’t ready to make Ruca a champ or take the title off Lynch. Grade: B
Penta retains title in barnburner with Ethan Page
Penta was on the backfoot for most of the match. Page went for it from the word go and wasn’t afraid to use some nefarious tactics to get his first main roster title. Page nearly won the match when took off one of the turnbuckles and ran Penta straight into it and then secured a roll up pin attempt. But even after hitting a super press off the top rope, Page couldn’t keep Penta down. Penta kicked out of the pinfall attempt, popped back to his feet, avoided being run into the exposed turnbuckle again and it a running Mexican Destroyed off the middle rope for the win. A great match with two very skilled in-ring performers. Grade: A-
Paige and Brie Bella sneak out with titles
The tag team champions needed to come up with an unusual strategy to retain their championships on Saturday against The Irresistible Force of Nia Jax and Lash Legend. The imposing challengers used their size to their advantage throughout the match, overwhelming both Paige and Bella. Jax went for a drop of Paige on the turnbuckle, but Paige rolled through into a roll up pin and Bella assisted in keeping the pin locked in with her foot on Jax without the referee seeing it. A fine match in a cooldown spot that performed well. Grade: B
