Opening Video Package
The opening video fades in with low, pounding drums and golden embers drifting through shadows. Mercedes Moné appears first, World Title glinting under moody lighting. Rhea Ripley follows, eyes fierce, stomping toward the camera like a predator hunting a queen. Toni Storm lounges in a golden bathtub, sloshing champagne and laughing like a madwoman. The screen cuts between the three warring factions: the regal and ruthless Monarchy, the dominant and dangerous STARDOM, and the cold-blooded Black Reign. The message is clear. This kingdom is no place for peace. The Crown must be earned in battle.
Match One: Trios Titles Street Fight
STARDOM (Alex Windsor, Megan Bayne, and Thekla) defends against Julia Hart, Skye Blue, and Queen Aminata
From the opening bell, this was not wrestling. It was a full-scale riot. Trash can lids flew through the air before introductions even finished. Megan Bayne immediately made her presence felt by lifting Skye Blue overhead and slamming her into a shopping cart, metal crunching beneath the impact. Thekla tried to stay technical early, but Julia Hart spat black mist in her face and locked in her signature submission, nearly stealing the win before Windsor stomped her in the back of the head.
Queen Aminata stole the moment with a stunning four-fifty splash off a ten-foot ladder, flattening Windsor and Thekla in a heap. But Bayne rose from the wreckage like a kaiju and choke-tossed Aminata clean through a table propped in the corner. STARDOM, bruised and bloodied, stood over the chaos and retained their gold.
Winners: STARDOM
Match Time: Thirteen minutes and forty-seven seconds
Backstage Segment – Monarchy vs Black Reign
Inside a velvet-draped locker room, Bianca Belair jumps rope while Naomi tightens her boots, beads of sweat already running down her arms. Mercedes Moné adjusts her championship belt in front of a mirror, her face cold and focused. Bayley leans in, eyes locked on her teammates, and reminds them this is the night they crush every threat. Naomi grins wide, nodding. They are ready.
Elsewhere, Black Reign remains silent. In a dim corner lit only by a flickering bulb, Rhea Ripley paces like a lion in a cage. She mutters one sentence under her breath. This is not about titles. This is about blood.
Match Two: Jade Cargill vs Raquel Rodriguez
Two powerhouses collided with zero hesitation. Their first lock-up sent vibrations through the ring, and neither woman backed down. Raquel surprised everyone by flying from the apron with a twisting senton, nearly wiping Jade out on the floor. Jade roared back with a spinning pump kick that echoed through the arena, followed by a second-rope Jaded that shook the mat.
There was no betrayal. No sneak attack. Just two warriors who battered each other until only one remained standing. They stared each other down afterward, and a handshake, full of respect, closed the chapter.
Winner: Jade Cargill
Match Time: Nine minutes and thirty-four seconds
Match Three: Number One Contender Trios Match
The Monarchy (Liv Morgan, Bayley, Roxanne Perez) vs VXT and Taya Valkyrie vs Lola Vice, Michin, and Zelina Vega vs Piper Niven, Alba Fyre, and Isla Dawn
This match never stopped moving. Bayley tapped into her heel roots, tricking opponents with feints and fakes, while Roxanne lit the ring up with her youthful fire. Piper Niven looked like a freight train, flattening anyone in her path until Roxanne dropkicked her from the apron to the floor. Liv nearly sealed it with Oblivion on Michin, but Bayley snuck the pinfall with a clever blind tag, proving that strategy can be as deadly as strength.
Winners: The Monarchy
Match Time: Eleven minutes and fifty-eight seconds
They advance to face STARDOM at CROWN Fifteen
Match Four: Natalya Neidhart vs Masha Slamovich
This match was all about pain. Masha targeted the neck with brutal precision, wrenching Nattie into cravats and launching her with choke suplexes. Natalya fired back with the veteran instinct, slamming Masha with a sit-out powerbomb before locking in the Sharpshooter. The crowd was behind her, but Masha powered out, pulled Natalya into the center, and dropped her with a thunderous Snow Plow.
Winner: Masha Slamovich
Match Time: Eight minutes and forty-three seconds
Match Five: Eight-Woman Tag – One Fall to a Finish
Alexa Bliss, Lyra Valkyria, Tay Conti, and Britt Baker vs Tiffany Stratton, Jamie Hayter, Thunder Rosa, and Ash by Elegance
From the opening second, chaos ruled. Britt and Hayter reignited old flames with wild brawling in and out of the ring. Lyra almost stole the win with a Phoenix Splash on Thunder Rosa, only for Ash to yank her off at the last moment. Alexa nailed Twisted Bliss on Ash, but before the ref could count, Tiffany stormed in and hit her signature moonsault on Tay Conti, stealing the win for her team.
Winners: Tiffany Stratton, Jamie Hayter, Thunder Rosa, Ash by Elegance
Match Time: Ten minutes and twenty-five seconds
These four will now battle in a fatal four-way for a future midcard title shot
Match Six: Faction War – Eight-Woman Tag Match
STARDOM (Giulia, Mina Shirakawa, Mariah May, Hikaru Shida) vs Charlotte Flair, Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale, Jordynne Grace
Giulia and Charlotte started things with brutal elegance, matching each other blow for blow. Statlander press-slammed Mariah May into the barricade like a ragdoll, while Mina nailed Willow with a stunning Shining Wizard. In the final stretch, Hikaru Shida looked to steal the win with a Falcon Arrow, but Charlotte dodged and dropped her with a devastating Natural Selection.
Winners: Charlotte Flair, Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale, Jordynne Grace
Match Time: Fourteen minutes and thirty-two seconds
Match Seven: Tag Team Championship – Two out of Three Falls
Asuka and Kairi Sane vs Stephanie Vaquer and Athena
The first fall was a blur of counters until Stephanie Vaquer locked Asuka into a triangle hold so deep she had no choice but to tap. The second fall saw Kairi launching with the Insane Elbow to even the score. In the third fall, Black Reign picked their moment. Asuka was sent crashing into the steel post, and Stephanie followed a double springboard stunner from Athena by planting Kairi with the La Magistral Driver. Victory belonged to Black Reign.
Winners and New Champions: Stephanie Vaquer and Athena
Total Match Time: Nineteen minutes and thirty-seven seconds
Match Eight: Falls Count Anywhere for the US Title
Naomi defends against Becky Lynch
This was a demolition derby disguised as a title match. They fought through the crowd, slamming each other into barriers and food stands. Becky used a broomstick as a weapon while Naomi used a rear-view that launched Becky headfirst into a popcorn machine. In the climax, Becky nailed a Manhandle Slam through a merchandise table and nearly scored the three count before Nia Jax and Cora Jade stormed the scene. Naomi climbed a massive speaker setup and soared through the air with a split-legged moonsault, crashing Becky through a table backstage for the win.
Winner and Still US Champion: Naomi
Match Time: Sixteen minutes and twenty seconds
The Monarchy celebrates backstage, another crown secured
Match Nine: Intercontinental Championship
Iyo Sky defends against Bianca Belair
What started as a technical clinic turned political fast. The match was a blur of reversals and counters. Bianca planted Iyo with the KOD, but Iyo kicked out at the last second. As she climbed for a second moonsault, Asuka and Kairi appeared. With no hesitation, they yanked Iyo’s leg from the outside. The crowd gasped. Bianca seized the moment and planted Iyo with a second KOD.
Winner and New Champion: Bianca Belair
Match Time: Sixteen minutes and fifty-one seconds
The Monarchy now held yet another title, as betrayal shattered STARDOM from within
Main Event: World Championship – Steel Cage
Mercedes Moné defends against Rhea Ripley and Toni Storm
The door slammed shut and the match began with pure mayhem. Rhea Ripley wasted no time, hurling Mercedes across the cage with a release German suplex that bent the champion like a crash-test dummy. Toni Storm, ever the wildcard, climbed halfway up the cage looking for an escape, but Rhea was waiting. With brutal force, she caught Toni and launched her backward with a German suplex from the ropes that sent both women crashing.
Mercedes rose like a ghost, battered but unbroken. She springboarded from the ropes and delivered meteoras to both opponents
in rapid succession. Her Moné Maker on Toni looked like it would end the match, but Rhea came back swinging with a chain she found tucked in the corner. She wrapped it around her arm and hammered Mercedes until blood painted the mat.
Toni reappeared, now armed with a steel chair. She went wild, swinging at everything that moved. Rhea ducked and hit a devastating Riptide off the second rope, but Mercedes reversed mid-air into a poison rana that dropped Rhea on her skull. All three women lay broken.
As the match reached its climax, Toni crawled toward the cage door. Mercedes, bleeding but focused, chose another path. She scaled the far wall, climbing rung by rung while the other two barely moved. Just as Toni reached the bottom rope, Mercedes dropped to the outside floor.
Winner and Still World Champion: Mercedes Moné
Match Time: Eighteen minutes and forty-four seconds
Post-Match Chaos
Before the cage could be lifted, Black Reign stormed. Athena and Vaquer ambushed Toni. The Monarchy charged down the ramp next, Bianca and Naomi leading the way with their titles. Then came STARDOM, fists flying. Giulia threw hands with Bayley while Alex Windsor launched herself from the cage wall with a crossbody onto the crowd.
Suddenly, Cora Jade climbed the top of the cage and launched herself onto the growing pile of bodies. Nia Jax grabbed Megan Bayne and delivered a bone-crushing Samoan Drop, breaking a hole through the cage wall.
The show closed with Mercedes Moné standing alone at the very top of the steel cage, her title held high, watching the chaos burn beneath her.
Factions were no longer at war. They were at total war.
