WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event is set for September 6, 2026, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. This marks the first time this franchise airs on a Sunday, making it a special occasion for wrestling fans. The event features a finalised card with four announced matches and one conditional title match.
Main Event
The highly anticipated main event pits Cody Rhodes against Randy Orton, continuing their bitter feud. Orton’s RKO at SummerSlam cost Rhodes his shot at CM Punk, adding more fuel to their rivalry. Both men are listed as out of Atlanta, which adds intrigue to their matchup.
Bron Breakker vs. Oba Femi
Another intriguing singles match features Bron Breakker taking on Oba Femi. Femi arrives at the event off a SummerSlam win over Brock Lesnar, which has significantly boosted his reputation. Paul Heyman booked this match on Raw and framed it around the future of the company, making it a battle between two rising stars.
Six-Woman Tag Team Match
Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, and Tatum Paxley will team up to face Jade Cargill, Michin, and B-Fab in a six-woman tag team match. This bout adds variety to the card and showcases the depth of WWE’s women’s division.
Conditional United States Championship Match
A unique conditional United States Championship match is on the slate. Baron Corbin will face rapper Lil Yachty in a five-minute challenge. If Lil Yachty survives the five minutes against Corbin, Trick Williams will get a United States Championship match against Corbin later that night. This stipulation adds an interesting twist to the event, as fans will be watching closely to see if Yachty can last the distance.
