Similar to the Undisputed WWE Title from Smackdown, Saturday Nights Main Event 2024 card will also witness a WWE World Heavyweight Title match from the Raw roster, as well. The announcement of the latest addition to the match card for the returning show set within two weeks has come on this week’s episode of Raw.

In another backstage segment, Balor then met Gunther and said The Ring General owes him a World Heavyweight Championship match because he has helped in winning against Damian Priest, twice that’s at Summerslam and then at Survivor Series, this past weekend. As such, Balor wanted his shot at the world title at Saturday Nights Main Event 2024.
Gunther said he didn’t need Balor’s help in the first place. Gunther said he doesn’t owe Balor anything but rather he will give Dominik Mysterio a match against him instead because, unlike Balor, Dirty Dom has actually pinned Priest in the past.
