WWE Saturday Night's Main Event 2024: Full Results, Live Coverage Highlights, Surprise Returns & Title Changes From Chicago House Show

Key keywords: WWE Saturday Night's Main Event results, live WWE event coverage, 2024 WWE house show highlights, Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes, WWE title changes, Rhea Ripley vs Becky Lynch, WWE surprise returns, Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship matches This live coverage covers the full official results and on-site highlights from the 2024 WWE Saturday Night's Main Event house show held at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois on March 23, 2024, drawing a sold-out crowd of over 14,000 raucous wrestling fans. Unlike weekly taped episodes of RAW and SmackDown, this special Saturday Night's Main Event broadcast aired live on Peacock with no pre-filmed segments, giving fans an unfiltered look at WWE's top talent in action. The opening match of the night saw Intercontinental Champion Gunther defend his 600+ day reign against fan favorite Sami Zayn. The two competitors put on a 22-minute clinic, with Zayn hitting multiple Helluva Kicks that appeared to secure the win, only for Gunther's Imperium stablemates Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci to interfere at the last second, pulling the referee out of the ring before he could count the three. Gunther took advantage of the distraction, hitting a devastating powerbomb to pin Zayn and retain his title, drawing loud boos from the Chicago crowd. Next up was the Women's World Championship match between reigning champion Rhea Ripley and "The Man" Becky Lynch. The pair traded near-falls for 18 minutes, with Lynch hitting her signature Manhandle Slam on Ripley, only for Dominik Mysterio to jump onto the ring apron and distract the official before he could make the count. Ripley recovered to hit her Riptide finisher and pin Lynch, but her celebration was cut short when Liv Morgan made a surprise return after a 2-month injury layoff, hitting Ripley with a chair before challenging her to a title match at WrestleMania XL. The third marquee match of the night was the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship bout between reigning champions The Judgment Day (Finn Bálor and Damian Priest) and The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods). The Judgment Day appeared to have the match won after Priest hit a South of Heaven on Woods, but Randy Orton made a surprise unannounced return, hitting RKOs on both Bálor and Priest while the referee was distracted by Mysterio at ringside. Kingston followed up with a Trouble in Paradise on Priest to secure the pin, making The New Day the new Undisputed Tag Team Champions, one of the biggest title changes of the year so far. The main event of the evening was a non-title singles match between Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, the first time the two have faced off since their WrestleMania 39 main event. The match lasted 27 minutes, with Reigns hitting multiple Superman Punches and a Spear that nearly put Rhodes away, but Rhodes kicked out at two. Reigns' cousin Solo Sikoa attempted to interfere late in the match, but Jey Uso ran out to brawl with Sikoa and take him out of the arena, leaving Reigns vulnerable to three consecutive Cross Rhodes finishers from Rhodes, who pinned the Tribal Chief to pick up the win. The show closed with Rhodes and Uso celebrating in the ring as the crowd chanted "This is Awesome" for over 5 minutes.

Just left the Chicago show tonight and that Cody vs Roman match was easily 5 stars! I screamed so loud when Randy popped up out of nowhere I almost lost my voice. Can’t wait for these storylines to play out on RAW and SmackDown this week ahead of WrestleMania.

The live coverage was so seamless I felt like I was sitting front row! Rhea vs Becky was the match of the night for me, they have such insane in-ring chemistry, I’m so ready for their triple threat with Liv at Mania. That tag team title change was totally unexpected too, what a huge shock.

I’ve been watching Saturday Night’s Main Event since the 1980s and this iteration did not disappoint! The surprise returns, the hard-hitting matches, the unfiltered crowd energy – this is exactly what WWE has been missing from its overly scripted weekly TV lately. Hope they bring more of these live unedited house shows to Peacock soon.

That Sami Zayn vs Gunther match alone was worth the price of my Peacock subscription! I really thought Sami was going to end Gunther’s historic reign tonight, the Imperium interference was such a perfect heel move to build even more heat for their WrestleMania rematch. 10/10 show, zero notes from me.
