Naomi lights up the ring with explosive offense while Rosa and Deonna trade pure wrestling sequences. Julia Hart lurks in the shadows, striking at opportune moments. The story centers around Naomi’s resilience versus Julia’s eerie precision.
In the final stretch, Deonna locks Rosa in the Fujiwara Armbar — Naomi breaks it with a Split-Legged Moonsault. As Naomi goes for the Rear View, Julia sprays mist and locks her in the Hartless. Naomi fades.
Winner: Julia Hart — new #1 Contender
The lights flicker as Julia stands over her fallen opponents, black mist dripping from her mouth.

Technical excellence from all four women. Asuka and Natalya have a mat-wrestling clinic early on, countering submissions at lightning speed. Kairi brings energy and heart, while Tessa uses strength and arrogance to impose her will.
Kairi locks in the Anchor on Tessa, while Asuka traps Natalya in the Asuka Lock — dual submissions! Natalya taps first, followed by Tessa moments later.

The Kabuki Warriors embrace post-match — respect and domination in one beautiful display.
3. Zaria & Izzy Dame (w/ Serena Deeb) vs Skye Blue & Queen Aminata vs Michin & Zelina Vega vs Tay Conti & Anna Jay vs Nia Jax & Cora Jade — #1C for Tag Titles
A frenetic elimination match featuring chaos and strategy. Nia dominates early, eliminating TayJay with a double Samoan Drop. Aminata & Skye team up to eliminate Michin & Zelina, showing great chemistry.
When Nia goes for a splash, Thekla suddenly appears — distracting her long enough for Skye to hit Code Blue! Pinfall!
Final two: Zaria & Izzy vs Skye & Aminata. Deeb tries to interfere, but Thekla brawls with her outside. Aminata hits a scissor kick, Skye follows with Code Blue — 1-2-3!

4. Mara Sade, Fallon Henley, & Jaida Parker (w/ Serena Deeb) vs Britt Baker, Chelsea Green, & Taya Valkyrie — Elimination Match
A showcase of Deeb’s influence and Britt’s veteran grit. Fallon is first eliminated by a stomp from Britt. Taya eliminates Jaida Parker next with Road to Valhalla.
Mara Sade fights valiantly, pinning Chelsea with a knee strike, but Britt and Taya overwhelm her. A tandem Glam Slam ends it.

Deeb glares from the stage — clearly disappointed in her protégés.
5. Stephanie Vaquer & Athena (c) vs Jade Cargill & Raquel Rodriguez — No DQ, Tag Titles
Brutality from bell to bell. Athena and Jade trade power slams and chair shots. Vaquer uses her submission craft to slow Raquel down, but Jade’s raw power dominates.
Midway, Athena hits the O-Face through a table — but Raquel breaks the pin. Jade retaliates with a spear through a barbed-wire board — 1…2…3!
Winners & NEW Tag Team Champions: Jade Cargill & Raquel Rodriguez
They hoist the belts high amid shattered tables and steel.
6. Toni Storm vs Giulia
Toni wrestles like she’s fighting for her legacy. Giulia, flanked by Mina, Mariah, and Windsor, exudes untouchable confidence. The referee constantly warns her entourage, but their presence fuels Giulia’s aggression.
Toni hits Storm Zero — but Mina distracts the ref! Windsor hits Toni with a title belt, and Giulia lands the Glorious Driver for the win.
Winner: Giulia
The four pose together afterward — the “Queen’s Club” is born.

The gauntlet begins with Lash Legend’s trio falling to Statlander’s team after a 450 splash. Queen’s Club then enter, cunning and arrogant, eliminating Willow via triple-team. Shida, Iyo, and Lyra arrive next and dismantle Queen’s Club after Shida’s Katana.
Finally, the champs enter. It’s chaos — reversals everywhere. Roxanne pins Shida with Pop Rox to retain!
Winners & STILL Champions: Liv Morgan, Bayley & Roxanne Perez
8. Sol Ruca (c) vs Megan Bayne — Intercontinental Championship
Sol Ruca’s agility versus Bayne’s brute power. Bayne controls most of the match, ragdolling Sol around. Ruca fights from underneath, using the ropes and springboards to survive.
After a massive powerbomb near-fall, Sol hits a desperation Sol Snatcher off the top rope!
Winner & STILL Champion: Sol Ruca
Bayne nods in respect before leaving the ring — a mutual show of sportsmanship.
9. Jamie Hayter (c) vs Becky Lynch — 2 out of 3 Falls Match, United States Title
Fall One is a showcase of endurance. Becky isolates Hayter’s arm, setting up for the Dis-Arm-Her, but Hayter’s brute strength counters every attempt. Hayter finally lands Hayterade for the first fall.
Hayter 1 – 0 Lynch
Fall Two sees Becky turn feral. She slams Hayter into the barricade, grounding her, then traps her in the Dis-Arm-Her mid-ring — tapout!
1 – 1
The final fall is a slugfest. They exchange bombs until Becky nails the Super Manhandle Slam for 2.9! Hayter counters the second attempt with a rolling lariat — 1…2…3!
Winner & STILL United States Champion: Jamie Hayter (2–1)
A standing ovation follows as both women hug post-match. Hayter’s reign strengthens, but Becky’s respect is earned.
10. Mercedes Moné & Bianca Belair (Open Challenge) vs ??? — Trish Stratus & Lita
The crowd roars as Mercedes Moné and Bianca Belair enter, gold gear glistening. Mercedes takes the mic:
“We’re the top of the mountain — but we’re giving anyone a chance to climb.”
The lights dim. “Time to Rock & Roll!” blasts. Trish Stratus and Lita walk out to a thunderous ovation. The arena shakes — legends have arrived to answer the challenge.
The bell rings. Lita starts with Bianca — the clash of generations. Bianca’s athleticism meets Lita’s unpredictability; a moonsault is countered mid-air into a Gorilla Press. Mercedes tags in, mocking Trish. They trade slaps, then burst into a chain sequence reminiscent of early-2000s Raw, but with modern precision.
Trish and Lita start working as if no time passed — Poetry in Motion, double suplexes, and tandem DDTs. Mercedes plays heel perfectly, targeting Trish’s neck. Bianca’s power game dominates, but Lita keeps fighting back.
Midway, Mercedes attempts the Bank Statement — Trish reverses into the Stratusfaction! 1…2…no! Bianca breaks it.
Lita tags in and hits the Twist of Fate, then climbs — Moonsault! 1…2…Bianca kicks out again! The crowd is split 50/50.
Mercedes returns, nails the Moné Maker on Lita, but Trish dives to break it. Chaos erupts — Trish and Bianca brawl outside while Lita and Mercedes trade strikes inside. Mercedes hits a tornado DDT, locks in the Bank Statement… Lita claws to the ropes… she taps!
Winners: Mercedes Moné & Bianca Belair
Post-match, Mercedes helps Lita up, both women smiling with mutual respect. Trish nods approvingly before raising their hands. A symbolic “passing of the torch.”
11. Rhea Ripley (c) vs Alexa Bliss — CROWN World Championship
(Main Event)
The night’s tension peaks. Alexa Bliss enters with a sinister grin, whispering to her doll at ringside. Rhea, stoic but seething, raises the title defiantly.
Alexa uses cunning psychology — baiting Rhea into swinging wildly, then attacking her knee. Bliss targets the leg relentlessly, smashing it into the steel steps. Rhea still lands her signature powerbomb for a two-count, hobbling on one leg.
Alexa hits Twisted Bliss — 1…2…Rhea kicks out! The crowd erupts. Bliss can’t believe it. She slaps Rhea repeatedly, taunting:
“You can’t break me, Mami.”
Rhea roars, grabs her, and delivers a headbutt that echoes through MSG. Riptide! 1…2…
Tiffany Stratton’s music. The arena gasps as she’s on the top rope and hits Rhea with a PME….
Tiffany smirks:
She hands over the briefcase — it’s official!
Tiffany Stratton vs Alexa Bliss vs Rhea Ripley (c) — MITB Cash-In
Rhea tries to stand, but Tiffany lands a low dropkick to the injured knee. She hits another Prettiest Moonsault Ever — 1…2…Rhea kicks out! One on Alexa…1…2…Rhea breaks it up.
The crowd roars. Tiffany screams in disbelief. She hits Rhea with an Alabama slam followed by another PME — picks up Bliss and hits a nasty Alabama Slam….PME on Bliss…1…2…3!
Winner & NEW CROWN World Champion: Tiffany Stratton
Confetti rains. Tiffany stands on the turnbuckle, screaming, “This is my throne!” Rhea glares from the mat, bloodied but unbroken. Alexa out cold.
The broadcast fades on Tiffany posing over Rhea — the era of the Center of the Universe has begun.
