WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event represents the weekend franchise landing on a different day for the first time ever. There’s also a potential first involving a possible title match. Here’s everything you need to know about the now finalized card set for Atlanta.
WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event Key Facts
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Event | WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event |
| Date | Sunday, September 6, 2026 |
| Venue | State Farm Arena, Atlanta, Georgia |
| Start time | 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT |
| United States | Peacock |
| International | WWE’s YouTube channel, free |
| Main event | Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton |
| Matches announced | Four, plus one conditional |
| Title on the line | Only if Lil Yachty survives five minutes with Baron Corbin |
| Why Peacock and not ESPN | Sunday Night’s Main Event stays under WWE’s NBCUniversal deal |
The title match is conditional. Baron Corbin faces Lil Yachty in a five-minute challenge, and if the rapper survives, Trick Williams gets a United States Championship match against Corbin later in the night. Paul Heyman booked Breakker against Femi on Raw and framed it around the future of the company. Femi arrives off a SummerSlam win over Brock Lesnar. Orton’s RKO at that same show cost Rhodes his shot at CM Punk. WWE lists both Rhodes and Breakker out of Atlanta.
WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event Final Card
| Match | Type |
|---|---|
| Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton | Singles |
| Bron Breakker vs. Oba Femi | Singles |
| Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley vs. Jade Cargill, Michin and B-Fab | Six-woman tag |
| Baron Corbin vs. Lil Yachty | Five-minute challenge |
| Baron Corbin (c) vs. Trick Williams | United States Championship, only if Yachty survives five minutes |
Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes could be memorable, but I maintain, it would be so much better if a title was on the line. As it is, the two legends could deliver something that is yet another layer in their increasingly bitter feud. The Bron Breakker vs. Oba Femi match is also intriguing. I don’t like seeing one of these guys go over on the other at this stage in their careers, but hopefully there’s a way to elevate both men.
