WWE SNME Predictions Break: Rhiyo Likely to Defend, Fatu poised for Upset, Sami Zayn Favored in No. 1 Contender Four-Way
Breaking from WrestlingInc’s panel, Wednesday’s predictions ahead of Saturday Night’s Main event (SNME) highlight a familiar rhythm: the most popular acts are favored to emerge with gold, even as bold upsets loom. The event is set for Montreal, paving the way for a potential WrestleMania storyline kickstart, should the outcomes align with the panel’s expectations.
Predictions at a Glance
The panel’s consensus centers on three headline bouts: Rhiyo defending the Women’s Tag Team Championship, Cody Rhodes vs. Jacob Fatu, and Sami Zayn entering a World title picture by winning the no. 1 Contender Four-Way. Here are the projected outcomes and the rationale driving these picks.
| Match | Predicted Winner | Confidence | Key Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship: Rhiyo | rhiyo (Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY) | 77% | Beloved duo with strong crowd support; first title defense in this setup; momentum carried by their recent title win. |
| Cody Rhodes vs.Jacob Fatu | Jacob Fatu | 54% | Fatu’s return to TV building momentum; a potential springboard toward WrestleMania plans, keeping Rhodes’ road unsettled. |
| WWE Championship No. 1 Contender’s Four-Way | Sami Zayn | 92% | Montreal atmosphere is a major factor; zayn’s appeal in his hometown setting and historical close ties to a world-title programme. |
Deep Dive: why These Outcomes Matter
Rhiyo’s dominance would reinforce their appeal as a top female act ahead of major events, keeping the division stable while setting up potential WrestleMania momentum. Fatu’s dark-horse status in a high-stakes singles bout signals WWE’s willingness to diversify the path to WrestleMania, should the crowd sway in his favor. Sami Zayn’s surge in Montreal aligns with a long-running narrative thread, leveraging fan enthusiasm to propel a world-title program forward at the royal Rumble and beyond.
Evergreen Angle: The Science Behind Fan-Pavored Outcomes
Gathering expert predictions around popular, chemistry-rich teams like Rhiyo reflects a broader pattern: fan-favorite combinations tend to be shielded from fast title changes, especially when the show is positioned as a bridge to WrestleMania. Conversely,showcasing a returning or upstart challenger like Fatu can inject unpredictability,provided the story supports a longer arc. Sami Zayn’s hometown advantage illustrates how location can tilt booking decisions, turning a predicted winner into a marquee moment that fuels immediate and future rivalries.
What This Means for the Road to WrestleMania
If Rhiyo retains, expect continued dominance and a lead-in to a marquee title defense at the next major pay-per-view. A Fatu upset would reset Rhodes’ trajectory and perhaps escalate a WrestleMania angle, while a Zayn victory would accelerate a championship path, possibly altering the Royal rumble landscape and subsequent title feuds.
