WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event (SNME) XLII Results (12/13/25):
The night begins with an amazing video package highlighting the illustrious career of John Cena. We also saw WWE’s legends come in droves, with the likes of Trish Stratus, Mark Henry, Shawn Michaels, and Cena’s first-ever opponent in WWE, Kurt Angle, to pay their respects to the “Never Seen 17.” Joe Tessitore was the voice that guided us to begin the night, with 2026 WWE Hall-of-Fame inductee Stephanie McMahon joining him.
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. NXT Champion Oba Femi
For the first bout of the evening, we kick it off in style as Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes enters the arena, ready to take on the monster known as the NXT Champion, Oba Femi. The match began with both champions trying to feel each other out by initiating a series of lock-ups.
However, things would quickly escalate as Femi’s undeniable power would overwhelm Rhodes. Femi would hit an Irish Curse Backbreaker on Cody, and proceeded to throw him around for a long spell. Rhodes would get his bearings back, hitting a Cody Cutter to turn the tide.
Rhodes would get a little overzealous, trying for another Cody Cutter in quick succession. But for a moment, Femi would counter. The “American Nightmare” would recover amazingly quickly, hitting a Suicide Dive on Femi after tossing him out of the ring.
Once again, Rhodes gets impatient and gets caught by a crushing Spinebuster. Femi would take the action outside the ring, hitting Rhodes with a mammoth Running European Uppercut while Cody was on the announcer’s table. This move led to Cody getting his ear cut, as blood spewed out.
Rhodes would still fight it out, countering with an Avalanche Cody Cutter to bring down the NXT Champion. As Rhodes was going in for the kill, Drew McIntyre would interfere, leading to a disqualification. Femi saw this and was absolutely irate, getting into a shoving match with McIntyre.
Rhodes would execute a Cross Rhodes on Drew, then Oba would get his shot in by delivering an explosive Chokeslam on the “Scottish Psychopath.” The two champions would raise each other’s hands, paying respects to one another in an otherwise great bout, before McIntyre would rear his ugly head.
