5 Big Reasons to Watch WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event XLIV

Becky Lynch and Sol Ruca’s Show Stealing Potential

Becky Lynch, being the Intercontinental Champion, is the best thing for the mid-card. She presents a legitimate champion for the younger stars to chase and produces fantastic matches to highlight their talents. We can look no further than the pairing of Lynch and Sol Ruca to see this potential.

In the past few weeks, we have seen these two women get into a war of words. Ruca isn’t intimidated by the reigning champion, and that confidence has made their promos a fun part of Monday Night Raw. Becky Lynch has been fantastic getting Sol Ruca over, and this Saturday, we will see the young star do the rest of the work.

The contrast in styles will be fun to watch. Becky Lynch’s grounded offense will try to keep Sol Ruca out of the skies, and we will all enjoy watching whose will prevail. This program has been serviceable on the microphone, but in the ring, they will steal the show. If WWE books this match well, the crowd will be on the edge of their seat the whole time.

Rhea Ripley and Her Allies Battle Jade Cargill’s Team

Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill have gotten top billing on SmackDown since WrestleMania. Their issues over ownership of the Women’s World Championship are far from over, and now there are four other women to join the fray. Jade Cargill has her backup, but the more interesting duo is on Rhea Ripley’s side of the contest.

Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair are former World Champions who might not be as trustworthy as they seem. It’s hard to imagine that either woman has given up their pursuit of a world championship, and a quick turn on Rhea Ripley could be the quickest way to achieve that. The match will be a great showcase of all 6 of these women, but the way it ends will be worth watching.
