WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event returns this weekend with a loaded show featuring everything from a world heavyweight championship match to one of the in-ring stops on John Cena’s retirement tour.
Cena will not be putting his undisputed WWE championship on the line when he faces R-Truth on Saturday night. Cena vs. Truth is instead a match based around Cena’s attack on Truth at the Backlash post-event press conference and Truth’s attempt to remind his hero of who he is at his core.
Jey Uso will defend his world heavyweight championship against Logan Paul. Paul has repeatedly knocked out Uso with sucker punches in his attempt to get in Uso’s head.
Also on the card is a tag team match pitting CM Punk and Sami Zayn against Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker, as well as a steel cage match between Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre.
Let’s take a look at who the CBS Sports wrestling experts think will take home big victories on Saturday night.
Saturday Night’s Main Event predictions
World Heavyweight Championship — Jey Uso (c) vs. Logan Paul: Uso isn’t losing his world heavyweight title so soon, and certainly not to Paul. This match is designed to give the champion a win against a big crossover star. Paul’s success isn’t measured by win percentages, but by his relevance beyond the ropes. Uso should win cleanly before rematching Gunther on June 9. Pick: Jey Uso retains the title — Shakiel Mahjouri (also Brent Brookhouse)
John Cena vs. R-Truth: On Oct. 31, 1989, The Genius defeated Hulk Hogan on Saturday Night’s Main Event. Let me go ahead and pick a bit of that upset magic for Saturday night and side with Truth to get the win. The title isn’t on the line, so there’s no harm in having a little bit of fun when Cena doesn’t really have a clear direction for what is next, so someone could even come help Truth get the win and set up Cena’s next title defense. Cena’s title reign has lost momentum and maybe a loss would drive him into more of a rage and add a bit of fuel to things. Cena likes Truth, so why wouldn’t he agree to give him a little moment on Saturday Night’s Main Event? Pick: R-Truth wins — Brookhouse
Cena does not have a title challenger two weeks removed from Money in the Bank. If he’s going to defend the title on June 7, WWE should plant the seeds this weekend. Either someone costs Cena the match with Truth, setting up a title rematch, or someone rescues Truth from a post-fight match beatdown, setting up a fresh match. The non-title match presents a rare opportunity for Cena to lose, but I’ll split the difference and vote against Brent. Pick: John Cena wins — Mahjouri
CM Punk & Sami Zayn vs. Seth Rollins & Bron Breakker: The Rollins and Breakker union needs to stay strong this early into the story. That’s a shame for Punk and Zayn, who likely aren’t in position to get a big win here. I don’t know that there’s any need for any shenanigans to get to the result, Rollins and Breakker should get the victory and leave Punk, Zayn and the rest of the locker room trying to figure out how to deal with this powerful new group moving forward. Rollins is also on a path toward the world heavyweight championship, so he has to be kept strong in this tag match. Pick: Seth Rollins & Bron Breakker win — Brookhouse (also Mahjouri)
Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre (Steel Cage Match): I’m surprised the McIntyre-Priest feud continued beyond WrestleMania. McIntyre’s victory seemed like a pivot point for both men. WWE has booked the feud evenly, meaning it’s Priest time to level the score. I think he’ll leave SNME with his hand raised. Pick: Priest wins — Mahjouri (also Brookhouse)

NFL Draft: QB1 at this early stage is Indiana’s (yes, Indiana’s) Fernando Mendoza, who has a world of potential
Fernando Mendoza, fresh off transferring to the Indiana Hoosiers from California, topped my QB rankings (with an Arch Manning-sized caveat) as I put together my too-early 2026 NFL Draft big board. Mendoza, who had previously started 19 games behind center at Cal, will join what was an explosive offense in 2024 (Indiana ranked fourth in FEI offense rating in 2024) that returns NFL prospect wide receiver Elijah Sarratt and a slew of transfers up front.A perceived top quarterback prospect ending up at Indiana, who despite their playoff appearance last season is still generally considered a football middleweight, might cause some pause. But Mendoza reportedly received interest from several top programs, and deservedly so. Why Mendoza picked Indiana makes more sense when you look at coaching (more on that later). Why top programs, meanwhile, showed interest in him despite underwhelming box […]

Prohráli jsme si to sami, štvalo Davida Špačka. Vzteky rozštípal hokejku
Stockholm (od našeho zpravodaje) - „Prostě tam byly emoce. Nevyšlo nám to a jsme zklamaní,“ prohlásil Špaček, jeden z 15 hráčů aktuálního výběru (počítáme-li i toho času zraněného Kondelíka, jenž vypadl ze soupisky - pozn. aut.), kteří zažili i loňský vítězný šampionát v Praze.Dvaadvacetiletého obránce mrzelo, jak český tým prohospodařil první třetinu, v níž výběr Tre kronor udělal třemi vstřelenými góly zásadní krok k postupu.„Začátek nám utekl. Soupeř šel do vedení z přesilovky, pak přidal dva rychlé góly. Špatně jsme se dostávali do zápasu. Dali jsme jim úplně zbytečně tutovky, které proměnili,“ věděl Špaček.MS v hokeji 202588. ročník mistrovství světa v hokeji je na programu v termínu od 9. do 25. května 2025.

White House pauses plans for President Trump’s commission on college sports as Congress leaders discuss legislation
The White House has decided to wait before making an official foray into college sports.Plans for a presidential commission on college sports co-led by former Alabama head coach Nick Saban have been paused, Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger reported Thursday. The move is possibly rooted in the commission's potential impact on current Senate negotiations over legislation in the same sphere.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt's unclear how long the pause will last, but it will give a group of five senators, including Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) more time to reach an agreement on legislation for a sport whose leaders have been begging for federal intervention in recent years.Cruz said earlier this month the talks were a work in progress, via The Athletic:“That is actively moving forward,” Cruz said on May 6. “We are negotiating. I think we are close to having a bipartisan […]
