Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss were named by WWE as one side of the six-woman tag, with Jade Cargill, Michin and B-Fab on the other. WWE’s match listing says Ripley will “once again” team with Flair and Bliss against the trio led by Cargill. (wwe.com) Saturday Night’s Main Event is the show carrying the match, and WWE’s preview page lists it alongside other bouts including Penta vs. Ethan Page and Becky Lynch vs. Sol Ruca. WWE published the event preview on May 23. ### How does Rhea Ripley enter the bout? Rhea Ripley enters the match as WWE Women’s Champion after defeating Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 42, according to WWE’s event page and WrestleMania results. (wwe.com) WWE’s full WrestleMania 42 results page listed “Rhea Ripley def. Jade Cargill (c)” and labeled Ripley a new champion. (wwe.com) WrestleMania 42 Sunday took place on April 19, 2026, according to WWE’s WrestleMania page. That page says Ripley “overcame Jade Cargill to seize the WWE Women’s Championship.” ### Why are Michin and B-Fab involved with Cargill? May 8 is the date WWE points to in setting up the teams. In the match announcement, WWE said Cargill returned to SmackDown alongside Michin and B-Fab on May 8 and attacked Ripley, Flair and Bliss. (wwe.com) WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event page also links the match to that return angle, saying Cargill, Michin and B-Fab “annihilate everyone in sight” during the earlier SmackDown appearance. (wwe.com) That attack established the three-woman alignment heading into the May 23 special. ### What happened on SmackDown one night before the show? (wwe.com) May 22 SmackDown added another beat in the rivalry. WWE posted a highlight clip titled “Jade Cargill stands tall over Rhea Ripley in post-match melee,” and the SmackDown results page from the same date carried the same wording. (wwe.com) That wording is consistent with WWE’s ongoing promotion of Cargill and Ripley as the central issue inside the larger six-woman match. WWE has not, in the materials reviewed, announced a separate singles rematch for May 23. ### When and where can viewers watch it? Saturday Night’s Main Event is scheduled to stream live on May 23 at 8 p.m. (wwe.com) ET/5 p.m. PT, WWE said. The company’s preview page says Peacock will carry the show in the United States, while YouTube will carry it internationally.
