The State Farm Arena will bear witness to the first-ever WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event on September 6. Atlanta hosted Saturday Night’s Main Event in July 2025, which marked the final match of WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg, who lost to Gunther in the main event. As of the time of writing, two massive matches have already been confirmed. Cody Rhodes will battle Randy Orton in a grudge match. In addition, Oba Femi will go head-to-head with Bron Breakker in a colossal bout that could determine the future of WWE in the coming decade. The Femi and Breakker saga has escalated quickly. The Ruler gained Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman’s approval with his dominating performance inside Hell in a Cell at SummerSlam 2026. Lesnar endorsed Femi and labelled him “The Future of WWE.” This endorsement didn’t sit well with Breakker, who had been earmarked for a similar role. Given that both men are priceless assets, the outcome of their match at Sunday Night’s Main Event is extremely unpredictable, which adds intrigue. Nonetheless, WWE does have the opportunity to get extra creative in Atlanta. #4. Bron Breakker Redeems Himself at WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event As Paul Heyman pointed out on RAW, the first-ever Sunday Night’s Main Event will take place in Atlanta, which is Bron Breakker’s hometown. Therefore, the Unpredictable Badass will have the home-field advantage against the Ruler. While this element adds a certain pressure, it could also bring out the best in Breakker. The 2-time Intercontinental Champion has had an underwhelming 2026, derailed by ill-timed injuries and questionable booking decisions. Not so long ago, Breakker was on the verge of becoming World Champion. Today, he has become a henchman for Austin Theory, which is an inappropriate use of his talents. Nonetheless, all hope is not lost, and Breakker can redeem himself at Sunday Night’s Main Event. Oba Femi is the hottest star in WWE today. Defeating the Ruler will give the Unpredictable Badass the edge he needs to get his career back on track. It will earn Paul Heyman’s respect and elevate Breakker’s standing in the locker room. A clean win would prove more effective. It might do Femi some harm, but that damage could be reduced if WWE opts for a prolonged feud between the two young stars. Even if Breakker loses the feud, drawing the first blood in his hometown will go a long way in establishing him as a credible threat on the main roster. #3. “Big” Bronson Reed Returns to Help Bron Breakker Defeat Oba Femi Since Bron Breakker is a heel in this feud, he doesn’t necessarily need a clean win over Oba Femi. As long as the history books show his name as the winner at Sunday Night’s Main Event, the former NXT Champion would be pleased with himself. Breakker is still a member of the Vision, which is currently dealing with the Alpha Academy. Logan Paul is injured. Thus, fans shouldn’t expect him to mess with Femi. As for Theory, he could be kept busy by the Alpha Academy or easily be neutralized by the Ruler. However, Breakker could have a major trick up his sleeve. “Big” Bronson Reed has been training for an in-ring return. Sunday Night’s Main Event would be a fitting location to reintroduce him into the spotlight. The returning Reed could help Breakker defeat Femi. The return would set up the Vision’s redemption arc and fuel a major storyline with the Ruler. #2. Bron Breakker and Oba Femi Fight to a Count Out We mentioned previously that Oba Femi and Bron Breakker are two of WWE’s brightest prospects. Hence, both stars enjoy protection. Rarely do we see them take clean pinfalls. Thus, booking a definitive outcome for Femi vs. Breakker puts Triple H in a pickle. In such scenarios, the safest option is to book a count-out, which intensifies and prolongs the feud. There is plenty of animosity between Breakker and Femi. Hence, the action is likely to spill over to the ringside. The climax could see the Unpredictable Badass Spear the Ruler through the barricade. The Spear would leave both men incapacitated, and neither man would be able to reach the ring before the referee’s count. Nonetheless, fans shouldn’t expect the action to stop there, as they will brawl after the bell rings only to be separated by officials. The count-out protects both men and prolongs the feud. #1. Paul Heyman Betrays Bron Breakker and Aligns with Oba Femi Paul Heyman’s relationship with Oba Femi has received much of Bron Breakker’s attention lately, and for good reason. The Oracle was initially skeptical of Femi’s potential, but he seems to have changed his mind following SummerSlam 2026. Retiring Brock Lesnar has earned Heyman’s respect. The Father of ECW has become an admirer of Femi. If WWE plays this right, they could work this newfound respect into a working partnership. Heyman had spent many years as Lesnar’s advocate, and he could take up a similar role for the Beast’s successor. Thus, Sunday Night’s Main Event could witness the birth of a shocking alliance as Heyman betrays Bron Breakker and aligns with Oba Femi. This double turn would serve as a major twist and make for some intriguing storytelling.
