Is Triple H mad at John Cena? Check in details!

Saturday Night's Main Event XLII was a great night for Sol Ruca, as she picked up what seemed to be the biggest win of her career, defeating Bayley. While fans seem excited watching the NXT star share a ring with The Role Model, the creative team might consider creating a similar storyline, but with Zaria.

For those who do not follow WWE's developmental brand, Zaria is part of the tag team ZaRuca with Sol Ruca. Since her tag team partner defeated Bayley at SNME XLII, the NXT star might also be interested in experiencing what it's like to share the ring with The Role Model.

#4. Lyra Valkyria vs Sol Ruca

Given the hard-hitting battle between Bayley and Sol Ruca at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event in Washington, D.C, it will make sense if the Stamford-based promotion also considers cooking up something between the NXT star and Lyra Valkyria.

This could be a storyline in which Valkyria seeks revenge against Sol Ruca for stealing a victory over her tag team partner at SNME XLII. If this happens, the duo might engage in a compelling program that could give the 26-year-old a major push in her career and possibly lead to her promotion to the main roster.

#3. AJ Styles vs Leon Slater

AJ Styles and Dragon Lee defeated Je'Von Evans and Leon Slater in a thrilling tag team match at WWE SNME XLII, as Styles managed to pin Slater to pick up the victory for his team.

Given the storied history between AJ Styles and Leon Slater in TNA and Slater's wish to face Styles to run it back with the World Tag Team Champion before he retires, the Stamford-based promotion might consider pulling the trigger on the move.

#2. NXT Champion Oba Femi vs Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs Drew McIntyre

Considering the unfortunate end of the highly anticipated match between Cody Rhodes and Oba Femi in Washington, D.C, fans are likely to witness a rematch between the two, also involving Drew McIntyre, in the near future.

The Scottish Warrior ruined the night for Cody and Femi at SNME XLII. As a result, the creative team might consider booking a rematch for the babyfaces. However, with McIntyre already factored into the storyline, the authorities could add him to the bout as well.

#1. Brock Lesnar vs Gunther

Gunther emerged as the winner of John Cena's Last Time Is Now Tournament to earn the right to face Cena in his retirement match at WWE SNME XLII. True to his promise, The Ring General managed to submit The Franchise Player and secure the victory.

Since the GOAT has officially ended his career, the authorities might now consider developing a storyline between Brock Lesnar and Gunther. Given the rumors floating about the duo sharing a ring in the near future, the company could eventually decide to give fans the match that they want to see.
