WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event 41 to Crown New World Champions Amid Low Viewership Expectations
In a highly anticipated card, the WWE World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line at Saturday Night's Main Event 41. The event, which airs from the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, is expected to draw a record-low for live viewership, given the competition from other sports and new TV ratings system that has been marred by controversy.
One of the most highly-anticipated matches on the card pits WWE newcomer Jade Cargill against reigning champion Tiffany Stratton. The odds are heavily in favor of Cargill, who recently turned heel on SmackDown, as she looks to dethrone Stratton and add a new championship to her belt.
Another intriguing match features CM Punk, who is expected to regain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from Jey Uso. Both men have shown complex characters with shades of grey, making this a compelling matchup.
The card also includes a Triple Threat match for the Intercontinental Title between Dominik Mysterio, Rusev, and Penta, as well as a highly-anticipated rematch between Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship. While McIntyre is a significant underdog, his prolonged journey to becoming world champion has made him a fan favorite.
With the event airing at 4:00 p.m. PST, an hour earlier than usual, it remains to be seen if WWE can attract a large enough audience to mitigate the damage from low viewership expectations. Will Cargill finally break her heel curse and claim the WWE World Heavyweight Championship? Who will win the Triple Threat match for Intercontinental Title? The results of Saturday Night's Main Event 41 will determine the fate of these championship matches.

* Dominik Mysterio (-2500) vs. Rusev (+500) vs. Penta (+500) - WWE IC Title
