Five potential matches floated for WWE’s inaugural Sunday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta

WWE will stage the first-ever Sunday Night’s Main Event at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, on September 6, 2026, moving the vintage show out of its usual Saturday slot. Two matches have already been announced for the card, and recent developments on RAW and SmackDown point to several further possibilities.

The forecasts for additional bouts are drawn from storyline shifts across both main shows, including a recent United States title change, a series of backstage attacks, character reinvention, and ongoing tensions within the Bloodline. Khel Now identifies five plausible matches that could be added to the September 6 lineup based on those events. The piece highlights outcomes and angles on both RAW and SmackDown that could logically lead to championship challenges and grudge match bookings.

Tiffany Stratton lost her WWE United States title to Jacy Jayne despite Chelsea Green trying to subdue interference from Fatal Influence on SmackDown last week. "NEW WOMEN'S UNITED STATES CHAMPION 🏆@jacyjaynewwe has DONE IT! pic.twitter.com/ucvPD9dpMt" That sequence, combined with Stratton’s apparent frustration, is presented as a setup for a match between Stratton and Green for Green’s WWE Women’s Championship at Sunday Night’s Main Event.

Big Cass has led three consecutive attacks on Je’Von Evans ever since he returned to WWE a few weeks ago after SummerSlam. "TOTAL BRUTALITY 😳That felt pretty personal from Big Cass!! pic.twitter.com/FDmsDsrXh9" The report notes Evans tried to fend for himself on RAW this week after surviving a previous match but was again overpowered, framing a potential singles match between Cass and Evans for the Atlanta card.

Lyra Valkyria’s recent shift into a darker, more relentless persona is described as a campaign aimed at earning a shot at the WWE Women’s Intercontinental title. The article suggests she could continue those tactics over the coming weeks and secure a title match against Raquel Rodriguez at Sunday Night’s Main Event if the storyline progresses as indicated.

Liv Morgan has been targeted by both Becky Lynch and Stephanie Vaquer over her WWE Women’s World title post-SummerSlam 2026, and tensions between the three on RAW are noted to be rising. Given those interactions, the piece proposes a triple threat match for Morgan’s title at the September show as a plausible booking option.

The Bloodline storyline is flagged after Roman Reigns attempted to bring Solo Sikoa back into the family, only for Sikoa to defy Reigns on RAW this week and receive aid from LA Knight. "LA KNIGHT BFT TO ROMAN REIGNS!! 🙌Sikoa and Knight stand TALL!! pic.twitter.com/Cn2mTAgVro" Despite an opportunity to rejoin the Bloodline, Sikoa’s decision to attack Reigns is suggested as the basis for a tag match in Atlanta pairing the OTC and his Enforcer, Jacob Fatu, against LA Knight and Solo Sikoa.

The event remains scheduled for Sunday, September 6, 2026, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, as WWE’s first Sunday Night’s Main Event. The article notes the next confirmed premium live event on the calendar is Money in the Bank on October 10, 2026, at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.
