Summary

WWE added two championship matches to Saturday Night's Main Event during this week's Raw, giving the May 23 special a stronger title focus.

Penta is now set to defend the Intercontinental Championship against Ethan Page. WWE also announced a World Tag Team Championship match, with The Vision, Logan Paul and Austin Theory, defending against The Street Profits.

The company has been adding to its broader late-May lineup in recent days, including CM Punk's newly announced appearance at Jon Stewart's Night Of Too Many Stars.

Updated card for May 23

The two newly announced bouts for Saturday Night's Main Event are:

  • Intercontinental Championship: Penta vs. Ethan Page
  • World Tag Team Championship: The Vision (Logan Paul and Austin Theory) vs. The Street Profits

Both matches were made official on Raw ahead of the NBC special.

What Penta and The Vision gain from these additions

Penta now has another featured singles title defense on a major WWE special, which gives the Intercontinental Championship a prominent place on the card instead of leaving it as a background TV program.

For the tag division, The Street Profits getting the next shot puts immediate pressure on Logan Paul and Austin Theory to prove their team can hold the World Tag Team titles against an established pairing, not just carry the belts as a novelty act.
