Flair locked in a Figure Eight on Roxanne Perez to force the tap-out and seal the win.

3. Sami Zayn def. Karrion Kross

This heated grudge match was filled with psychological warfare, interference from Scarlett, and high drama. Sami Zayn weathered the storm, countering Kross’s brute strength with resilience and speed. After a surprise Helluva Kick, Zayn pinned Kross clean in the center of the ring, earning one of the biggest babyface pops of the night.

4. Tiffany Stratton (c) def. Jade Cargill (WWE Women’s Championship)

In one of the night’s most anticipated women’s matches, Tiffany Stratton retained her Women’s Championship against Jade Cargill. Stratton used technical precision to wear down the physically dominant Cargill. After escaping a near fall, Stratton hit Prettiest Moonsault Ever to score a clean victory and solidify her status at the top of the division.

5. Logan Paul & Drew McIntyre def. Randy Orton & Jelly Roll

In a celebrity-infused tag match, YouTuber-turned-WWE-star Logan Paul teamed up with Drew McIntyre to face off against Randy Orton and country star Jelly Roll. The match had chaotic energy, including a ringside table spot involving Jelly Roll and McIntyre. Paul secured the pin on Orton with a sneaky low-blow followed by a knockout punch, earning the win in classic heel fashion.

6. CM Punk def. Gunther (c) (New World Heavyweight Champion)

In a dream match years in the making, CM Punk returned to a main event title picture and defeated the dominant Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. The match was stiff, technical, and emotionally charged. Punk survived multiple powerbombs and a sleeper hold before countering into a GTS to win his first world title in over a decade.

7. Seth Rollins cashes in Money in the Bank on CM Punk (New World Heavyweight Champion)

As Punk stood celebrating his emotional title win, Seth Rollins’ music hit—despite weeks of being sidelined with a knee injury. Rollins, revealing the injury was a ruse, sprinted to the ring, cashed in his Money in the Bank contract, and hit a Curb Stomp on Punk in under 30 seconds to win the title. The crowd erupted in disbelief as Rollins stood tall, stealing the moment and the championship.
