The paper for WWE Sunday Night's Main Event successful Atlanta is almost filled and contempt the truth that location are nary title matches scheduled yet, we still seemingly person our main arena successful place. Cody Rhodes will return connected Randy Orton successful a lucifer that seems for illustration it should beryllium for a title. Let's talk wrestling.
WWE Sunday Night's Main Event Key Facts

| Celebrity bout | Baron Corbin vs. Lil Yachty |
| The stipulation | If Yachty lasts 5 minutes, Corbin grants Trick Williams a United States Championship rematch that night |
| Championship matches | None booked outright |
Three matches are announced, which is why this sounds arsenic a paper update alternatively than a last card. Corbin holds the United States Championship, and WWE's booking is that Trick Williams only gets a rematch that nighttime if Yachty survives 5 minutes. That conditional bout is the only title liking connected the show truthful far, and Rhodes and Orton is simply a rematch of a WrestleMania 42 lucifer Rhodes won.
I’m willing to spot really overmuch Lil Yachty has picked up during his clip training astatine the Performance Center. Anyone expecting a capacity connected par pinch what we’ve seen from Logan Paul aliases moreover iShowSpeed and Stephen Amel will apt beryllium disappointed. That said, celebrities successful this era of WWE look to beryllium consenting to give much clip to guarantee they really present nosy matches. The five-minute endurance stipulation only makes things much interesting.
Because the title lucifer pinch Trick has been mentioned, it’s almost definite to hap and it would beryllium a daze if he didn’t regain his title. Expect 1 much lucifer to beryllium added to push the paper to 5 matches.

Because there’s presently nary scheduled women’s lucifer for the card, I’d fishy that’s what we’ll spot added arsenic early arsenic Friday connected Smackdown. That could besides springiness america a axenic title match.
