Redemption Rising – Full Match Card & Results
1. Opening Segment – Bullet Club Promo
Participants: Kenny Omega, Finn Balor, Young Bucks, Bronson Reed
The show opens with pyro and energy—but then the lights cut. “Battle Cry” hits and the Bullet Club (Omega, Bucks, Balor, Reed) walk down unified in black-and-white custom entrance gear. The arena is a mix of cheers and loud boos.
Kenny grabs the mic first.
“I’m sick of being protected from. I didn’t lose at Revolution. I didn’t get pinned at Collision. I want what’s mine — Swerve, I want your title. One-on-one. No excuses.”
The Bucks say they’re done being distracted. “Chaos this, Undisputed that. You two — Roddy and Kyle — you’re getting jumped tonight. Titles or not.”
Balor leans in. “We’re gonna rearrange your spine and make you irrelevant.”
As they finish, Randy Orton slithers into the ring from the crowd — RKO on Kenny Omega!
He picks up the mic, standing over Kenny’s fallen body:
“You want a shot at the top? Get through me first. Tonight.”

Punk works slow and methodical, grounding Swerve and targeting his left leg. He uses Indian Deathlocks, leg DDTs, and stretches the ropes with heel heat.
Swerve fires up, hitting a rolling STO, then a springboard uppercut and superkick to the jaw. Punk catches him mid-air and locks in an Anaconda Vice, but Swerve barely reaches the ropes.
Punk lands a GTS — Swerve falls to the outside. Punk is furious. He pulls him back in, goes for another GTS — but his leg buckles. Swerve seizes the moment with a Hidden Blade-style elbow, then hits JML Driver #1.
Instead of pinning, he hits a top-rope Swerve Stomp, then a second JML Driver for the final exclamation point.
Winner: Swerve Strickland (retains World Championship)
