Best of 7 Series — WWE vs AEW
Series Score: 0–0
Match 1: Drew McIntyre (WWE) vs Jon Moxley (AEW)
The night kicks off heavy. Two bruisers. No theatrics — just war. The bell rings and Moxley rushes Drew with wild strikes. Drew absorbs it, powers through, and drops Mox with a belly-to-belly. The crowd is loud, divided, loving it.
They trade heavy shots — Glasgow Kiss vs Moxley’s headbutts. It spills outside, and Drew lawn-darts Moxley into the steel steps. Mox fights back with a low dropkick and grabs a figure-four around the post.
Back in the ring, Moxley hits a King Kong lariat that flips Drew. Drew fires up, hits a spinebuster for 2. Moxley counters a Claymore into a cutter, then Paradigm Shift. 1–2–kickout!
Mox goes for another Paradigm Shift, but Drew counters with a Future Shock DDT and sets up the Claymore. Mox ducks it and hits a low blow behind the ref’s back (classic Mox). A Death Rider follows. 1–2–3.
Winner: Jon Moxley (AEW)
Series Score: AEW 1 – WWE 0
Match 2: Sami Zayn (WWE) vs Swerve Strickland (AEW)
A pure wrestling gem. Fast-paced, full of psychology. Sami starts technical, trying to ground Swerve, but Strickland flips out of holds with fluidity. Arm-drags, counters, rope-running — it’s like ballet with grit.
Swerve targets Sami’s knee with dragon screws and basement dropkicks. Sami sells it brilliantly, limping on Irish whips. Sami fires back with a Tornado DDT, then goes for a Helluva Kick — but Swerve hits a snap German suplex mid-run.
They trade near-falls — Blue Thunder Bomb, Swerve Stomp, Half-and-Half Suplex. Sami locks in the Koji Clutch, and the crowd believes it’s over. But Swerve rolls it into a pin for 2.
Final stretch: Swerve dodges a second Helluva Kick, hits a House Call to the back of Sami’s head, then a top-rope Swerve Stomp to seal the win.
Winner: Swerve Strickland (AEW)
Series Score: AEW 2 – WWE 0
Match 3: Gunther (WWE) vs Kazuchika Okada (AEW)
A dream encounter. The crowd gives it a standing ovation before it begins. Gunther stares down Okada like a war general. Okada smirks, confident.
They start slow, testing each other with grapples. Gunther’s first chop echoes — Okada’s chest turns red instantly. But Okada absorbs it and comes back with a picture-perfect dropkick.
Gunther powers through with a huge powerslam and Boston crab. Okada makes the ropes. Gunther starts dismantling Okada’s back, slamming him into the mat with thunderous control. But Okada fights back with his pacing — slow, deliberate counters.
At the 18-minute mark, they trade finishers:
- Gunther Powerbomb — kickout at 2.
- Rainmaker — kickout at 2.
- Second Rainmaker — Gunther collapses before the pin.
Gunther gets up, screaming, goes for a lariat — but Okada catches the arm, spins out, Rainmaker #3. Cover…
1… 2… 3.
Winner: Kazuchika Okada (AEW)
Series Score: AEW 3 – WWE 0
Match 4: CM Punk (WWE) vs Hangman Page (AEW)
The crowd is nuclear. The real-life drama bleeds into the match. Hangman gets a massive pop. Punk walks slowly, smug, soaking in boos and cheers. The tension is real.
They go nose-to-nose. Lockup. Punk slaps Page. Page swings — it’s on. The first five minutes are a fistfight. Hangman controls early with brute strength, hitting a fallaway slam and apron moonsault.
Punk slows it down, targeting Hangman’s ribs and shoulder with short knees, grounding him. He taunts the crowd with “It’s clobberin’ time” and mocks Page with a fake Buckshot Lariat.
Punk hits a GTS — Hangman kicks out. Punk grabs his wrist tape, tries to choke him, but Page reverses into a Deadeye. Crowd is roaring.
Final stretch: Hangman hits a Buckshot Lariat — Punk rolls out of the ring. Back in, Punk hits a desperation GTS… then another… and gets the pin.
He smirks as he exits. Page lies motionless.
Winner: CM Punk (WWE)
Series Score: AEW 3 – WWE 1
Match 5: Cody Rhodes (WWE) vs MJF (AEW)
The story is poetic. MJF enters in a robe similar to Cody’s old AEW one. Cody walks down with determination, emotion on his face. The crowd eats it up.
The early going is mind games — MJF powdering out, stalling, taunting. Cody finally gets him in the ring and unleashes — clotheslines, goldust uppercut, and a Disaster Kick. MJF powders again.
MJF gains control with a cheap shot, attacking Cody’s surgically repaired pec. He works it with knee drops, hammerlocks, and mocking flexes. Cody sells like a king.
At 15 minutes, Cody mounts a comeback. Cross Rhodes — kickout. Figure Four — MJF makes the ropes. MJF gouges Cody’s eyes, grabs the Diamond Ring. Ref doesn’t see — punch to Cody. He covers… 1–2–CODY KICKS OUT.
Brandi Rhodes shows up. Distracts MJF. Cody hits two more Cross Rhodes and finally pins the Devil.
Winner: Cody Rhodes (WWE)
Series Score: AEW 3 – WWE 2
Match 6: Seth Rollins (WWE) vs Will Ospreay (AEW)
A high-octane wrestling classic. The crowd knows what’s coming. Rollins comes out to a choir of “WHOA-OH-OH.” Ospreay is laser-focused.
They start fast — chain wrestling, reversals, mirrored kip-ups. They trade strikes, counters, roll-ups. It’s a total clinic.
Ospreay hits a pip-pip cheerio, goes for an Oscutter — Seth catches him mid-air with a superkick. Rollins hits a Falcon Arrow — Ospreay kicks out. Seth tries for a Stomp — Ospreay flips out and hits a hook kick + Hidden Blade. 1–2–no!
Seth kicks out of a Storm Breaker. Ospreay goes for a top-rope Oscutter — Seth counters with a Phoenix Splash! Cover — 1–2–no!
They both rise. Strike exchange. Superkick. Hook kick. Rolling elbow. Hidden Blade. Seth slumps. Ospreay charges — but Seth hits a sudden Curb Stomp out of nowhere.
Winner: Seth Rollins (WWE)
Series Score: AEW 3 – WWE 3
Match 7 (Final): Roman Reigns (WWE) vs Kenny Omega (AEW)
Everything rides on this. The series is tied 3–3. The entrances are cinematic. Roman with Heyman. Omega with Callis. The crowd is at fever pitch.
They circle for a full minute. Roman grounds Omega with a shoulder. Omega fights back with chain wrestling. They pace the match like a classic — long holds, psychology, explosive bursts.
Omega hits a You Can’t Escape into a moonsault — Roman kicks out at 2. Roman powers into control with suplexes and corner clotheslines. He screams, “Acknowledge me!” The crowd responds both ways.
Omega hits a Snap Dragon. Then another. He goes for V-Trigger — Roman hits a Superman Punch! 1–2–kickout!
Roman locks in the Guillotine. Omega fades… then lifts Roman and hits a *spinebuster
*. He charges, hits a V-Trigger. Crowd is on fire. One-Winged Angel setup — Roman elbows out. Spear attempt — Omega leapfrogs. V-Trigger AGAIN. This time he hits One-Winged Angel…
ONE. TWO. ROMAN KICKS OUT.
Don Callis looks stunned. Omega can’t believe it. Roman uses the moment, SPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE.
He doesn’t cover. He hits another SPEAR. 1–2–3. Done.
Winner: Roman Reigns (WWE)
