The kickoff match saw Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill successfully defend their Women’s Tag Team Championships against Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell. The champions displayed excellent teamwork and resilience, particularly Belair, who performed despite selling a leg injury. Cargill’s strength and athleticism were pivotal, and the duo’s finishing manoeuvre—a DDT into a wheelbarrow suplex—was a highlight. This match set a strong tone for the evening, showcasing the depth of talent in the women’s division.
Women’s World Championship: Liv Morgan def. Becky Lynch (c)
Liv Morgan‘s victory over Becky Lynch for the Women’s World Championship was a major highlight of the event. The match was intense and dramatic, with Morgan delivering a passionate and aggressive performance. The turning point came with Dominik Mysterio’s interference, which inadvertently helped Morgan secure the win. This title change was well-received, adding a fresh dynamic to the women’s division and teasing future storylines involving Morgan and Mysterio.
Intercontinental Championship: Sami Zayn (c) def. Bronson Reed vs. Chad Gable
Sami Zayn retained his Intercontinental Championship in an exhilarating triple-threat match. The contest was filled with high-energy action and intricate storytelling. Bronson Reed‘s size and power were formidable, while Chad Gable‘s technical prowess added another layer of complexity. The involvement of Otis, who accidentally hit Gable, added a dramatic twist. Zayn’s ability to capitalize on the chaos and retain his title further solidified his reputation as a cunning and resourceful champion.
Queen of the Ring Final: Nia Jax def. Lyra Valkyria
Nia Jax defeated Lyra Valkyria to claim the Queen of the Ring title in a match that highlighted both power and heart. Jax dominated much of the contest with her overwhelming strength, but Valkyria’s resilience and spirited offence kept the match competitive. Despite Valkyria’s best efforts, Jax’s experience and power ultimately led her to a decisive victory, setting up potential future clashes with other top female talents.
King of the Ring Final: Gunther def. Randy Orton
The King of the Ring final saw Gunther emerge victorious over Randy Orton in a gruelling encounter. The match was hard-hitting and intense, reflecting the high stakes of the tournament.
Gunther’s victory was slightly overshadowed by a controversial pinfall, with Orton’s shoulders appearing to be off the mat. This marred an otherwise strong performance and left some fans feeling unsatisfied with the conclusion.
Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) def. Logan Paul
Cody Rhodes successfully defended his title against Logan Paul in a match that had fans eagerly anticipating a high-stakes showdown. The bout featured strong performances from both competitors, with Paul showcasing his unexpected in-ring skills and Rhodes affirming his status as a top champion.

These matches combined to create an event that balanced high-stakes competition with compelling narratives, setting the stage for future WWE storylines and character developments.
