Cody Rhodes is set to battle Oba Femi in a blockbuster match at Saturday Night's Main Event in just a few hours from now. It will be a champion vs. champion clash with the Undisputed WWE Champion going up against the NXT Champion. Neither of these superstars can afford a loss at this point, as they are the top champions of their respective brands.

WWE's creative head, Triple H, could be in a major dilemma regarding the finish and outcome of this match. One miscalculated move could prove to be detrimental to a particular star, pushing him completely into the backseat. There's only one way Rhodes vs. Femi can end at Saturday Night's Main Event, and that is by Drew McIntyre's interference.

The Scottish Warrior has been embroiled in a heated feud with The American Nightmare for the past two months. Just when Cody Rhodes vs. Oba Femi would be at its climax, McIntyre should show up out of nowhere and attack the Undisputed WWE Champion. This would compel the referee to call for the bell and end the match in a disqualification.

WWE can play safe to protect both superstars

The marquee match ending in disqualification tonight will help WWE protect both superstars. The company has been building Oba Femi as a monstrous powerhouse in NXT. Therefore, the 27-year-old losing via interference wouldn't affect his credibility, and his aura would remain intact. The Ruler could continue to dominate on NXT.

Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre attacking Cody Rhodes during his match at Saturday Night's Main Event will add a new layer to their heated rivalry, escalating it further. It wouldn't affect The American Nightmare and would instead do more good to him than harm. Besides, it will also pave the way for another match between Rhodes and McIntyre down the line.

Drew McIntyre's heel character will intensify

WWE ending Cody Rhodes vs. Oba Femi in a DQ will be the most logical conclusion. Most importantly, it will benefit Drew McIntyre. His character is currently in such a state that fans have stopped caring about him or the ongoing feud. But The Scottish Warrior ruining this big match will give him massive heat from fans. It will amplify his heel character going ahead.

McIntyre has already done several detestable things lately, whether it's attacking referee Dan Engler or ambushing Rhodes in his own bus. Another such move at Saturday Night's Main Event will make him public enemy number one. The WWE Universe will have a reason to react to The Scottish Warrior, even if it's for booing him in the arenas every week.

Pave the way for a future rematch between Cody Rhodes and Oba Femi

Cody Rhodes and Oba Femi are expected to deliver a show-stealing performance tonight at Saturday Night's Main Event. However, the match ending in a disqualification will leave a portion of the WWE Universe unsatisfied. Even though fans may not like it, this outcome will sow the seeds of a future rematch between both superstars.

Oba Femi is expected to make his main roster debut soon, and he is likely to make his way to the main event scene. Therefore, WWE will have a story to capitalize on between him and Cody Rhodes on the main roster, showing unfinished business between the two stars. It will make for a great storyline down the line between The Ruler and The American Nightmare.
