Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will defend his title against Kevin Owens tonight at Saturday Night's Main Event. This battle between the two SmackDown superstars will be the second time they meet this year, as Rhodes defeated Owens at Bash in Berlin earlier.
While fans expect The American Nightmare to walk out with the Winged Eagle belt tonight, there is a chance he might have another surprise in store for the WWE Universe. The surprise in store could witness Rhodes walk out to his dad Dusty Rhodes' theme song.
It's worth noting that 34 years ago, Cody Rhodes' father, Dusty, had an epic match against Randy Savage at Saturday Night's Main Event 28. While The American Dream lost, fans appreciated how good the bout was, and both wrestlers received critical acclaim for their performance.

Hence, it won't be surprising to see Cody walk out to Dusty Rhodes' theme song -Common Man Boogie, to honor his father's legacy. If the Undisputed WWE Champion pulls off something along these lines, it will be interesting to see how fans in the arena and those watching at home react.
WWE legend predicts who will win between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens
Since Cody Rhodes defeated Kevin Owens at Bash in Berlin, many believe he will end up beating Owens tonight at the NBC special show. However, some also feel that The Prizefighter will be the best version of himself at Saturday Night's Main Event since he lost earlier. This makes it difficult to predict who will win this match.
While WWE legend Matt Hardy acknowledged that anything can happen in professional wrestling, he did not have a tough time predicting who would win. During an episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the veteran also mentioned he expects Rhodes and Owens to put up a phenomenal show.
"It's pro wrestling, so I would never say never and you never know. I like to keep it unpredictable. My guess is that they'll have a hell of a match but Cody will retain, but I don't know. I could also be wrong too. I think Cody is still going to ride high as the top guy and the number one babyface as the champion." [From 13:49 – 14:09]
It will be very interesting to see if Hardy's prediction about The American Nightmare winning turns out to be true. If that's the case, it will also be worth watching who Cody Rhodes' next challenge will be after Owens.
