🔥 Opening Match
Jon Moxley vs. Roman Reigns
The show opened with a match that some thought we wouldn’t see in this lifetime — Jon Moxley vs. Roman Reigns. The tension was nuclear. Moxley charged through the crowd while Roman was in the ring, pacing after his epic entrance. They brawled immediately. No lockups. No wrist holds. Just fists, knees, and chaos.
> Wade Barrett: “This isn’t a match — it’s a war between two former friends who now want to end each other.”
Pat McAfee: “Roman’s not in God Mode anymore… he’s in survival mode!”
Weapons came out fast. Moxley smashed Reigns with a steel chain; Roman retaliated with a Superman Punch while holding a chair. They fought into the crowd, over the barricade, onto the announce desk. Roman speared Moxley through the timekeeper’s barricade, but Moxley kept crawling.
Blood poured from both men’s foreheads after repeated chair shots and exposed turnbuckle strikes. A powerbomb from Moxley through the announce desk left Roman barely moving. But then Reigns spiked Moxley on the floor with a desperation uranage.
The ref eventually called the match as a No Contest after both men collapsed, medics rushing down. The crowd stood in stunned silence as both were stretchered out, flipping each other off through oxygen masks.

🔥 Backstage Segment
The camera cut backstage to a dimly lit boiler room. Erick Rowan and Dexter Lumis, cloaked in shadows, stared silently at Braun Strowman. Strowman sat on a crate, fists clenched.
> Rowan: “He’s coming soon. And when he does… we follow. All of us.”
Lumis slowly turned and scribbled something on the wall behind him in what looked like black oil. Strowman gave a subtle nod. The Wyatt Sicks are assembling.

Down the hall, Finn Balor, still United States Champion, confronted Eric Bischoff.
> Finn: “How the hell am I not on this show? I’m a champion. THE U.S. Champion. But I’m sitting in catering watching this show from a monitor? My name isn’t HBP!”
Bischoff, smug and dismissive, waved him off.
As Finn walked off angrily, the camera caught NXT Champion Karrion Kross rounding a corner and bumping shoulders with Ethan Page.
> Kross: “Watch where you’re going.”
Page: “Or what?”
They locked eyes. Tension.

🏆 Match 2 – World Heavyweight Championship
John Cena (c) vs. Damian Priest
This one was a power-heavy, main-event-style slugfest. Priest came in with vengeance on his mind, flanked by JD McDonagh. Cena was laser-focused, the veteran not intimidated.
Priest took control early, punishing Cena with stiff strikes and corner slams. Cena fought back with shoulder blocks, the Five Knuckle Shuffle, and even a surprise hurricanrana that popped the crowd.
Late in the match, JD McDonagh slid a chair in, but the ref was distracted. Priest didn’t see it and stumbled on it trying to set up his finisher. Cena reversed into an Attitude Adjustment on the chair — still legal in the chaos — and got the 1-2-3.
Winner and STILL! John Cena
> Barrett: “JD just cost Damian the title. Cena took advantage like the ring general he is.”
McAfee: “That’s why he’s the GOAT. You make one mistake, he ends you.”
Post-match, Priest yelled at JD while Cena held up the title, clearly banged up but still on top.

🔥 Backstage Segment – Pete the Ref Goes Nuclear
A lighthearted (at first) segment saw Pete the Ref sampling Nikki Bella’s home-cooked catering. She proudly presented a dish called “Quinoa Fireballs.”
Pete took a bite, gagged, and exploded.
> Pete: “This is garbage! You belong in a dumpster with your cookbook. The only good thing about you is your mouth — and not when your talking either!”
Nikki’s face dropped. She started to cry.
> Pete: “Oh knock that off. You’re only allowed to cry after we enhance your implants next week.”
The segment took a sudden turn as Jade Cargill walked by in full gear, on her way to the main event. Pete immediately shut up and stepped aside. Cargill just stared him down.

🏆 Main Event – Women’s World Championship Fatal 4-Way
Naomi (c) vs. Jade Cargill vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Rhea Ripley
This was electric. All four women had moments to shine. The crowd was firmly behind Naomi and Rhea Ripley, while Jade brought the intimidation and Tiffany the flash.
High spots included:
Cargill military pressing Stratton onto Rhea outside the ring
Naomi hitting a double Rear View
Rhea planting Jade with Riptide off the second rope
Tiffany nearly stealing the pin twice with creative rollups
The finish came when Naomi countered Stratton’s Prettiest Moonsault Ever into a brutal Split-Legged Moonsault, scoring the clean pinfall win.
> McAfee: “That’s why she’s champ. Naomi turned the lights ALL the way out.”
Post-match, Rhea sat in the corner, clearly devastated. Buddy Murphy ran down to support her. But as he lifted her to her feet—
Dominik Mysterio sprinted down and attacked Murphy from behind! The crowd booed hard as Dom stomped Murphy out in front of Rhea.
> Barrett: “That’s not about love anymore — that’s war.”
Rhea didn’t stop him. She just watched.
—
✅ Night One Ends with Dom standing over Murphy as Rhea looks on. Naomi holds her title high on the ramp.

Match 1: Intercontinental Championship Match
Chad Gable vs. Mistico
This was a fast-paced, technical-meets-lucha spectacle.
Gable grounded Mistico early with Olympic-style takedowns and chain wrestling. Mistico flipped the momentum with springboard armdrags and a stunning Asai moonsault. The fans rallied behind Mistico as near falls came fast and furious.
The turning point came when Gable went for a moonsault and landed awkwardly, clutching his right knee in visible pain. Mistico—hesitant at first—capitalized with a hurricanrana driver and a top-rope La Mistica (moonsault reverse DDT) for the win.
Winner and NEW! Mistico
Post-match: The celebration was cut short as Gable writhed on the mat. Trainers and his manager Doc Brown rushed down. Brown, in a lab coat with “WrestleFlux Capacitor” on the back, helped the medics stabilize the knee.
Barrett noted, “That didn’t look good… Gable could be out for months.” Booker added, “Tell me I didn’t just see that, dawg…”

Backstage Segment: Chase U and the NXT Tag Titles
A glass case glows under LED spotlights. Inside sit the brand-new NXT Tag Team Championships, glistening under protective glass.
Andre Chase and Duke Hudson are standing inches from the display, eyes wide.
Andre (in full tracksuit, intense):
“Tuesday night, we etch our name in history. These babies? They’re coming to CHASE U!”
Duke (casually sipping a protein shake):
“Yeah, and then we’re gonna make ‘em mandatory wear in Professor Chase’s lectures.”
Suddenly, HBP walks into frame in shades and a denim vest, admiring the belts.
Andre (excited):
“HBP! Listen—we win Tuesday, you get the honor of carrying those titles to the ring. You deserve that.”
Duke smirks and leans in:
“Imagine holding a real belt again for once.”
HBP takes off his shades and looks at the belts as he remembers the old days.
Match 2: WWE Tag Team Championship Match
The Street Profits (c) vs. The APA
This was pure brawling meets high-octane athleticism. The Profits started fast, isolating Simmons and hitting a massive double-team blockbuster. But APA turned the tide outside the ring, sending Ford flying over the announce table and powerbombing Dawkins on the apron.
Ford rallied with a frog splash on Bradshaw for a close two-count. But in the final sequence, Simmons caught a leaping Dawkins mid-air with a thunderous Spinebuster from Hell, followed by a Clothesline from Hell by Bradshaw on Ford to get the three-count.
Winners: The APA
Post-match: The crowd erupted.
Simmons shed a rare tear as Bradshaw hugged him, holding the tag titles high.
Wade Barrett: “The APA has done it!” Booker T: “Damn right—they just got PAID in gold, baby!”

Backstage Hype Package:
Clips show Cody Rhodes preparing in silence, wrapping his wrists with focus. Cut to The Rock walking through the halls in designer shades, WWE Title over his shoulder, not saying a word. The weight of the match is clear.

Main Event: WWE Championship Match
The Rock (c) vs. Cody Rhodes
This was an epic.
The entrances alone were thunderous. Cody entered in full white & gold gear, flanked by fireworks and his dog Pharaoh.
The Rock came out to a deafening ovation, dressed in black tights with the Brahma Bull logo stitched in red—champion’s swagger on full display.
The match began slowly, methodical. Cody tried to frustrate Rock with mat wrestling and chain holds. Rock responded with stiff strikes and spinebusters. The crowd was split down the middle.
Rhodes nearly had it after a Cross Rhodes into a second Cross Rhodes—but Rock barely got the foot on the rope. Cody tried to lock in a Figure Four, but Rock countered and hit a Rock Bottom for two.
Midway through, Rock rolled out, grabbed a mic mid-match, and sneered:
“You want to end the greatest reign in the history of wrestling? This ain’t Disney+, jabroni!”
Cody fired up, hitting a disaster kick and a Cody Cutter for another two-count.
In the climax, Cody avoided another Rock Bottom and went for a THIRD Cross Rhodes—but Rock countered mid-spin and hit a Rock Bottom to seal it.
Winner: The Rock (still WWE Champion)
Post-match: The Rock grabbed a mic and said, “Acknowledge your FINAL boss.” He held the title over Cody’s fallen body before leaving up the ramp.
Cody slowly got up, disappointed but defiant, getting a standing ovation from the sellout crowd as the show closed.
