Saturday's main event will see Cody Rhodes defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against his one-time Legacy mentor Randy Orton in a match that has been as much about Jelly Roll and Pat McAfee's presence as it has the two superstars.

McAfee has promised to "save wrestling" with some strange promo work in recent weeks, aligning himself to Orton who is finally listening to those voices in his head due to the former NFL star's instruction. Jelly Roll, seemingly trying to aid Rhodes, will likely be in the American Nightmare's corner to even the numbers.

Night two will conclude with CM Punk and Roman Reigns finally going to battle for the World Heavyweight Championship after weeks of heated back-and-forths on Raw. 

Things have gotten personal en route to Sin City, with Punk promising to bury the OTC next to his deceased father Sika, and Roman responding by calling Punk…old. 

Jokes aside, both men have delivered some excellent work on the mic in the lead up to this one. The match also has potential for major interruptions with a Bloodline return and possible Jey Uso heel turn seeded across the last few weeks.
