Cody Rhodes vs. Oba Femi in The Battle of Champions At Saturday Night’s Main Event, Match Prediction & Preview

Saturday Night’s Main Event, which will be remembered as the one where John Cena called the curtain to his illustrious career. This will be the prime focus of the mega event, but not the only thing to be remembered about it. It will feature a champion vs champion match between Cody Rhodes and Oba Femi.

Cody Rhodes called Oba Femi and Ricky Saint on Friday Night SmackDown and announced the match. Acknowledging both of them, Cody Rhodes informed that whoever wins the match between Ricky Saint and Oba Femi at Deadline would face him on Saturday Night’s Main Event. Oba Femi emerged victorious at Deadline, ending Ricky Saint’s title reign and reclaiming his lost title.

Oba Femi and Cody Rhodes will now face each other at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13, 2025, in a champion vs champion match. Cody Rhodes is the current WWE Undisputed Champion, and Oba Femi is the new NXT Champion.

Champion vs. Champion Battle at SNME

Cody Rhodes will fulfil his promise to elevate NXT talent. This match will be a “Prove Yourself” moment for Oba Femi. Cody Rhodes is on a historic run in WWE, and a loss against Oba Femi will give him a significant blow while boosting Oba Femi’s profile to a whole new level. The match is not going to be a cake walk for either opponent, as Oba Femi’s raw power will be tested against Cody Rhodes’ in-ring style.

Oba Femi is a powerhouse who recently dethroned Ricky Saint to recapture the NXT Championship and brings the winning momentum with him. A physical specimen of incredible size, along with deceptive ability, has made him the most protected and successfully developed NXT star in recent memory. A victory over Cody Rhodes would be a career-defining moment in his career.

Cody Rhodes, on the other hand, lost Crown Jewel against Seth Rollins and the Survivor Series: WarGames and has had a target on his back. Both Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre are vying for the title. Anyone familiar with the American Nightmare knows he possesses a never-say-die attitude.

While it’s one thing to dominate Cody Rhodes during a match, pinning him without cheating has proven to be an almost impossible challenge for other wrestlers.

Cody Rhodes vs. Oba Femi, Match Prediction

Cody Rhodes is speculated to win the match against Oba Femi. WWE has promoted Cody Rhodes as the face of the company, and it’s highly improbable that they would make him lose his match against an NXT talent. Oba Femi is expected to make it tough for him and portray him as the future of the company.
