4 matches WWE can add to Saturday Night’s Main Event XLI

WWE Saturday Night's Main Event is just a few days away, and four matches have been announced for the TV special so far. Interestingly, all four matches announced so far involve a championship being defended.

Over the last few years, WWE's creative team has followed a five-match blueprint for almost every special event. If the same is to be followed for the 41st edition of Saturday Night's Main Event, then there is one more match that could still be added. Here, we'll take a look at four potential matches that could still be announced.

4. WWE Women's Tag Team Championship: Charlotte and Alexa Bliss vs. The Kabuki Warriors

This past week on WWE Monday Night RAW, The Kabuki Warriors made their presence felt after the Women's Tag Team Championship match between Charlotte and Alexa Bliss and Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. Asuka and Kairi Sane made it clear that they were after the titles, and they could get their shot as soon as November 1.

Following their attack on the reigning champions, Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair could accept their challenge and put their titles on the line in Salt Lake City this weekend.

3. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Solo Sikoa

It seems that the MFTs are having a parallel program with The Wyatt Sicks as well as Shinsuke Nakamura. The Japanese legend teamed up with Rey Fenix to take on the MFTs this past week on SmackDown, but ended up losing.

The faction returned during Nakamura's United States Championship match against Sami Zayn, and took him out with a brutal assault. Their feud has been building a little bit since then, and could result in a match between the former Intercontinental Champion and the leader of the MFTs, Solo Sikoa.

2. Damian Priest vs. Aleister Black: Falls Count Anywhere

Priest and Black had an intense Last Man Standing match a few weeks ago, where the former AEW star emerged victorious after launching a fireball into Damian Priest's face and sending him crashing through a stack of tables. The Archer of Infamy returned to SmackDown last week and cost Black the United States Championship against Ilja Dragunov.

Their rivalry could continue with a brawl on the blue-branded show this week, with a Falls Count Anywhere match being made official for SNME.

1. Ilja Dragunov's United States Championship Open Challenge

Dragunov made a shocking return to WWE after a year away due to injury by defeating Sami Zayn for the United States Championship on the October 17 edition of SmackDown. The Mad Dragon has since continued the tradition of having a weekly United States Championship Open Challenge, and could have a special edition of the same at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event this weekend.

The new champion could perhaps be challenged by a superstar from RAW, such as Jimmy Uso or a returning Gunther. Or, it could be used to set up a new rivalry for him, perhaps with Carmelo Hayes claiming his shot at the title. While it seems unlikely due to another edition of the Open Challenge scheduled for just 24 hours earlier on SmackDown, Dragunov might push himself and make it to Salt Lake City to defend the title again.
