After all three participants signed the official contract, SKY launched a springboard missile dropkick on both opponents, asserting dominance.
Later in the evening, Bayley challenged Lyra Valkyria for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. The match saw a strong crowd reaction, ending when Valkyria countered Bayley’s submission attempt with a surprise roll-up pinfall to retain her title.
In six-man tag team action, the LWO (Dragon Lee, Joaquin Wilde, Cruz Del Toro) faced Julius and Brutus Creed alongside their mystery ally, El Grande Americano. The match concluded with El Grande executing a sequence of headbutts, securing the victory via pinfall.
Gunther entered the ring to address the WWE Universe, but Jey Uso interrupted before he could speak. A tense exchange followed, including personal barbs and references to their families. Jey admitted his fear of Gunther but promised to claim the World Championship on behalf of himself and his family.
The WWE World Tag Team Championship match between The War Raiders and The New Day ended in disqualification. New Day used a steel chair in the closing moments, leading to the match being thrown out while leaving the War Raiders down in the ring.
Dominik Mysterio battled Penta in a singles bout showcasing contrasting styles. Penta picked up the win after hitting Sacrifice followed by the Penta Driver. Post-match, Carlito attempted to ambush Penta, but Bron Breakker intervened with multiple spears on all involved. Finn Balor appeared shortly after and laid out Breakker, raising the Intercontinental Championship over his body.
A verbal segment involving Paul Heyman, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk escalated tensions. Heyman reaffirmed loyalty to Roman Reigns while noting his past with Punk. Rollins confronted Heyman, claiming manipulation by Punk and Reigns. After Rollins slapped Heyman, Punk entered and clashed with Rollins, who delivered a Stomp to Punk.
