The second episode is stacked with several big matches, including the highly anticipated showdown between Gunther and Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship. Jacob Fatu will also be seen in long-awaited singles action against The Monster of All Monsters, Braun Strowman.

This week on RAW, Nia Jax successfully got under the skin of Rhea Ripley via a backstage attack and earned a shot at the Women’s World Championship. Bron Breakker will also be defending the Intercontinental Title against Sheamus, someone he has already shared the ring with.

Lastly, the main event stars of the previous SNME show, Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes, will sign the contract for the Undisputed WWE Championship match at the Royal Rumble, with Shawn Michaels overseeing the contract signing.

What should fans expect from this episode of SNME?

This episode will feature Gunther and Jey Uso trading blows with each other for the third time. The Ring General had already bested Mr. Yeet two times. Once while defending his Intercontinental Championship and later in the semifinal match of the King of the Ring tournament, which Gunther eventually won. Thus, The Ring General might emerge victorious in this match as well.

Similarly, while Nia Jax is very confident about beating Rhea Ripley, the latter has already bested her at the 2024 Elimination Chamber and could do it again. The Intercontinental Championship match between Sheamus and Bron Breakker could go either way since both of them have been carrying a lot of momentum behind their backs.

Lastly, the contract signing between Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes could see a lot of drama. Kevin Owens has already piledriven The American Nightmare and Randy Orton. The Viper is yet to recover from the injury. To put more heat on The Prizefighter, WWE could make him dish out the piledriver on Shawn Michaels, making Rhodes more angry.

This could also get a reaction out of Triple H, who had already shoved Kevin Owens at the previous SNME and made his stance against him public. It would be interesting to see what really happens during SNME XXXVIII.
