The latest WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event feels like a show that could have some ramifications for the landscape of the company heading into the Royal Rumble 2026 premium live event.

With four matches announced for the card, WWE could add some surprises to make this memorable night for the promotion.

From returning and debuting talent to new champions being crowned, fans could see some shocking moments that make this a special evening in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Here are six potential surprises at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.

6. Shinsuke Nakamura turns heel

On the January 23 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Shinsuke Nakamura challenged AJ Styles to prove how phenomenal he still is heading into his career threatening match with GUNTHER at WWE Royal Rumble 2026.

While this seemed like a friendly challenge, this battle between Styles and Nakamura could prove to be a heated battle.

For fans who have fond memories from their rivalry back in 2018, there could easily be a callback to that if Nakamura turns heel on Styles at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Nakamura showing his true colors by turning on Styles could see him soften up “The Phenomenal One” ahead of GUNTHER putting an end to his career at the Rumble.
