At the request of The Franchise Player, who wanted to see a card stacked with the future stars squaring off against superstars of today, the lineup has been progressively assembled. Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will go toe-to-toe against NXT Champion Oba Femi. Meanwhile, Sol Ruco will go up against Bayley.

Now, let's look at three other stars from the promotional brand who could have a match at Saturday Night's Main Event XLII:

#3. Jacy Jayne

Jacy Jayne defeated Tatum Paxley at Gold Rush on November 18 to regain the NXT Women's Championship. She had previously dropped the title to Paxley at Halloween Havoc earlier this year. This victory has made her a two-time NXT Women's Champion.

Now, considering that Oba Femi has earned a shot against Cody Rhodes at Saturday Night's Main Event XLII following his victory over Ricky Saints to reclaim the NXT Championship, it makes sense if the company considers booking a bout for Jayne at the upcoming event. This could be against WWE Women's Champion Jade Cargill.

Cargill has gained a lot of momentum on SmackDown since turning heel and capturing the Women's Championship from Tiffany Stratton. Arguably, Jacy Jayne has also established herself as a great champion in NXT. Hence, a showdown between the duo could make for a mouth-watering clash.


#2. Ethan Page

Another star from WWE's promotional brand who could have a match at Saturday Night's Main Event XLII is Ethan Page. For those who don't watch the black and silver brand, he is the reigning NXT North American Champion and also one-half of the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champions, alongside Chelsea Green.

The 36-year-old star has achieved notable success in WWE's promotional brand within just over a year of signing with the company, and has successfully defended the NXT North American Championship against top competitors in the brand. Hence, there is a possibility he may also have a match this Saturday in Washington, DC.


#1. Kendal Grey could have a match at Saturday Night's Main Event XLII

Kendral Grey emerged as the winner of the Women's Iron Survivor Challenge last Saturday at NXT Deadline, earning a title shot against Jacy Jayne at NXT: New Year's Evil.

It seems the creative team is considering giving the 24-year-old star a significant push in her career. Therefore, Grey might also stand a chance to feature at Saturday Night's Main Event XLII.
