The weeks leading to Saturday Night's Main Event saw LA Knight appear on several episodes of WWE RAW to build his match against Seth Rollins. He successfully defeated The Visionary, and their feud appears to be over for the time being.

It could be good news for viewers of WWE SmackDown as The Megastar could once again become a full-time member of the brand and concentrate on building rivalries there. Nick Aldis could announce the same on tonight's episode of the blue brand.

Solo Sikoa defended his United States Championship against Jimmy Uso at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event. After the match, Talla Tonga, Tonga Loa, and JC Mateo entered the ring to unleash an assault on Jimmy. Thankfully, Jacob Fatu entered the picture to save his cousins from the heels.

Considering everything that happened at Saturday Night's Main Event, WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis could announce a United States Championship match between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa at SummerSlam 2025, where the MFTs would be banned from ringside to ensure Fatu gets a fair shot at the title.

Tonight's WWE SmackDown will host a contract signing between John Cena and Cody Rhodes for their Undisputed WWE Championship match at SummerSlam 2025. Considering the history of contract signings in Titanland, a brawl is likely to occur tonight.

If that happens, Nick Aldis could announce a major stipulation for the upcoming Undisputed WWE Championship match at SummerSlam, like a Last Man Standing match or a Steel Cage match. A brutal stipulation will ensure the main event of this year's SummerSlam will be a must-see battle for all the fans.
