WWE is set to host the 41st edition of **Saturday Night’s Main Event** this week. The show will emanate from the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, on **November 1, 2025**, and is scheduled to feature some prominent and exciting matches. All announced bouts for the event will see a title being defended, promising an action-packed viewing experience for fans.
However, one question troubling many viewers is the surprisingly short match card. So far, only four matches have been announced, making this edition shorter than usual. This has sparked some speculation ahead of the event.
On the latest episode of *UnSKripted* on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Dr. Chris Featherstone and Hall of Fame journalist Bill Apter discussed the unconventional short card. Featherstone appeared puzzled and questioned Bill Apter about the reasoning behind it.
Bill Apter speculated that WWE might be anticipating one of the matches to extend longer than usual. He suggested that either the triple threat match between Dominik Mysterio, Penta, and Rusev or the singles bout between Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes could potentially run over the 30-minute mark.
>”Maybe one match will be, maybe the Dominik match or the Drew McIntyre-Cody match will be a long match. One of them will be at least 30 minutes,” Apter said.
### Possibility of Additional Matches
Traditionally, Saturday Night’s Main Event—like most Premium Live Events under Triple H’s leadership—features around five matches. The current announcement of only four bouts has left fans curious if more matches might be added closer to the event date.
Interestingly, there is still one episode of *SmackDown* remaining before Saturday Night’s Main Event. WWE could potentially add another match or segment on that Friday night show, which has often served as a platform for last-minute card additions.
### Confirmed Matches To Look Forward To
Despite the shorter announced card, the matches lined up are expected to deliver a promising and competitive night of wrestling:
– **Drew McIntyre vs. Cody Rhodes**
– **Dominik Mysterio vs. Penta vs. Rusev** (Triple Threat)
– **CM Punk vs. Jey Uso** for the **World Heavyweight Championship**
– **Jade Cargill vs. Tiffany Stratton** for the **WWE Women’s Title**
Fans can anticipate high stakes and intense rivalries as all four matches involve championship titles on the line.
