Update on WWE Tag Team title status for Saturday Night’s Main Event
A change may have been made to the tag team match scheduled for Saturday Night’s Main Event tonight.
The match between AJ Styles & Dragon Lee vs. Leon Slater & Je’Von Evans is no longer advertised as being for the WWE World Tag Team Championships.
While the match was initially announced as a non-title NXT vs. main roster bout, WWE.com later posted a preview stating that the championships were on the line. As of today, that same page no longer lists the match as a title defense.
WWE.com now reads:
“At Saturday Night’s Main Event, World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Dragon Lee will battle two of the hottest prospects in NXT, the explosive Je’Von Evans and TNA X Division Champion Leon Slater.”
Earlier in the week, that same page read:
“At Saturday Night’s Main Event, World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Dragon Lee will put their title on the line against two of the hottest prospects in NXT, the explosive Je’Von Evans and TNA X Division Champion Leon Slater.”
The updated lineup for the show is below:
WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event lineup | Saturday, December 13 | Washington, D.C.
- John Cena vs. Gunther
- Cody Rhodes vs. Oba Femi
- Bayley vs. Sol Ruca
- World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles & Dragon Lee vs. Je’Von Evans & Leon Slater
