Summary
Does Ethan Page have enough EGO to take the WWE Intercontinental Championship away from Penta?
Saturday Night's Main Event hits Fort Wayne, IN, and several championships in WWE are on the line. Penta defends the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Ethan Page who was just recently called up from NXT. With the rumors of WWE revitalizing the Tag Team Division, does Ethan Page take that title from Penta? Could we see Penta and Rey Fenix back together?
Also, the last time Sol Ruca wrestled on a Saturday Night's Main Event was a win over Bayley back in December but is winless since getting called up to the Main Roster. Now, Becky Lynch wants to give her an opportunity in a big time one on one match. And, the WWE World Tag Team Championships are on the line as The Vision (Logan Paul & Austin Theory) defend against The Street Profits.
