WWE Saturday Night's Main Event 44 Results, Winners, Live Grades, Highlights From Indiana
Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage of Saturday Night's Main Event on May 23.
The 44th edition of this show featured five matches, with three of them highlighting 12 members of the women's division.
Here's a look at the lineup from Saturday's show:
Let's take a look at everything that went down on this weekend's SNME special.
Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss and Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill, B-Fab and Michin
1 of 2
Last time in action: Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley defeated Fatal Influence (SD, May 22), Flair and Alexa Bliss defeated B-Fab and Michin (SD, May 15), Jade Cargill lost to Ripley (WrestleMania 42)
Michael Cole welcomed us to the show before WWE aired a video to hype the event. The first match on the card was the six-woman tag with Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss taking on Jade Cargill, B-Fab and Michin.
Cargill opted not to face Ripley at first, so she tagged in B-Fab to start the match. The women's champion took control and tagged in Bliss for a quick double-team. The heels were able to take control once Flair tagged in by cutting the ring in half with quick tags and double-team moves.
The crowd popped when The Eradictor got the hot tag late in the match. It looked like Flair and Ripley finally found common ground and had a nice moment with Bliss before it finally came to an end with Cargill hitting Ripley with Jaded for the win.
It was probably smart to start the show with this match. There were no titles on the line, and it didn't really matter who won, but it had enough action to get the crowd excited. In fact, it's safe to say this bout exceeded expectations.
Result: Cargill, B-Fab and Michin defeated Ripley, Bliss and Flair
Grade: B

Becky Lynch vs. Sol Ruca
2 of 2
Last time in action: Becky Lynch defeated Iyo Sky (Raw, April 27), Sol Ruca lost to Iyo Sky (Raw, May 11)
Sol Ruca was hoping to earn an IC title shot by defeating the current champion, Becky Lynch. She had a quick interview with Cathy Kelley backstage before making her entrance.
The Man decided to take the low road and attacked Ruca before the bell by throwing the IC title at her and then beating her down. She argued with the referee until Ruca recovered and knocked her down. The ref called for the bell, and Ruca picked up Lynch to plant her on her face.
The high-flyer hit a series of high-impact moves to keep Lynch on defense. The champion pulled the ref into the path of the Sol Snatcher, and it ended up leading to the ref calling for the bell.
The announcer said Lynch was disqualified, but Wade Barrett seemed to think she said the wrong name and it should have been the other way around. Lynch came back to the ring and attacked Ruca with three Manhandle Slams.
The match was fun for the few minutes we got, but the way it ended took the wind out of its sails. Having the announcers seem confused about who got disqualified made it even weirder.
Result: Ruca won by DQ
Grade: C
