Tonight’s event is presented by Wing Stop, and the energy inside MetLife Stadium is electric. Michael Cole kicks things off by welcoming the audience and giving a quick rundown of some of the major matches set for the evening!

Afterward, the crowd is asked to welcome the host of the evening, the acclaimed rapper Cardi B. She steps out onto the stage to a fair reaction, though it quickly fades. She begins making her way down the ramp and hypes the crowd for the event in the ring, before pyro opens the show.
 

Tag Team Match: Roman Reigns & Jey Uso vs Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed (with Paul Heyman)

Jey Uso began his entrance backstage and made his way through the crowd as Michael Cole welcomed everyone to "Yeet Jersey." Cole and Wade Barrett were confirmed as the commentary team for the evening. As the crowd raised their fingers in unison to acknowledge the presence of the One True Chief, Roman Reigns made his grand entrance shortly after, receiving a powerful reaction from the MetLife Stadium crowd.

Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman soon followed, making their way out as a unit. Reed wore Reigns' stolen sneakers around his neck, mockingly referring to them as the "Shoe-lafala," declaring himself "the Tribal Thief." The moment added an amusing but symbolic edge to the brewing rivalry.

Once the opening bell rang, the action erupted immediately. Jey and Breakker squared off while Reigns targeted Reed with a ten-punch flurry in the corner. Reigns and Uso cleared the ring, then Jey hyped up the crowd with a “yeet” and encouraged Reigns to join in. Reigns played along and told Jey to run it back, prompting Uso to signal production to hit his theme again. Reigns and Uso began dancing to the music, sharing a rare moment of fun before Bronson Reed stormed back in to end the party.

A wild brawl broke out around ringside as the referee allowed a significant amount of leeway. Reed threw Reigns into the steel steps while Jey continued fighting Breakker inside the ring.

Once order was restored, Reed took control of the match by isolating Jey in the corner and tagging in Breakker. Reigns remained down on the outside as Breakker maintained the advantage, delivering slow, punishing offense while mocking Reigns and feeding off the crowd’s reactions.

Breakker eventually tagged Reed back in to continue wearing down Uso. As Breakker taunted Reigns, he locked in a chinlock and mocked the crowd’s chant, jeering that Reigns should have stayed away. Breakker slowed the pace further, focusing on working holds and calculated attacks that drained Uso’s energy.

At one point, Breakker tried to take to the air with a diving move off the apron, but Uso dodged at the last moment, causing Breakker to crash knee-first into the side of the announce table. With an opening finally created, Uso struggled back into the ring while Heyman rushed to check on Breakker.

Reed attempted to block the tag, but Uso managed to push him aside. Just as he neared Reigns for the hot tag, Breakker slid back into the ring and intercepted him at the last moment, drawing heavy boos from the crowd. Breakker resumed his relentless stomping of Uso as the match continued to intensify.

Jey Uso finally manages to create some breathing room with a desperate DDT, giving him just enough time to crawl to the corner and tag in Roman Reigns. The crowd roars as Reigns enters the match and immediately targets Bron Breakker, dropping him with a powerful diving clothesline. Reigns fires up the crowd as he pounds away on Breakker in the corner, unleashing a series of clubbing forearms while the audience chants along.

Reigns sets up for a Spear, but Breakker counters with a sharp back elbow. Reigns quickly rebounds and clotheslines Breakker over the top rope, drawing another huge reaction. With momentum on his side, Reigns takes flight, soaring over the top rope with an impressive dive that crashes down on both Breakker and Bronson Reed at ringside.

Back inside the ring, Reigns locks and loads before landing a Superman Punch on Reed. However, Breakker surprises him with a roll-up from behind, only managing a two-count. He follows with a chop block to Reigns' knee. The crowd starts barking as Breakker pulls down his straps and sprints from rope to rope, but he runs straight into another Superman Punch from Reigns.

Unbeknownst to Reigns, Reed had tagged in just before Breakker rebounded off the ropes. As Reigns celebrates the strike, Reed catches him from behind and flattens him with a thunderous running splash in the corner. Reed hoists Reigns up on his shoulders, unaware that Jey Uso has tagged himself in.

Uso storms the ring and brings Reed down with a quick strike before delivering a corner hip attack. As he charges in again, Reed catches him with a devastating counter and follows up with a Death Valley Driver. Reed hooks the leg, but Uso kicks out at two.

The chaos continues outside the ring as Reed unleashes more punishment. Breakker positions himself on the far side of the ring and launches a lightning-fast flying clothesline, sending Reigns flying over the barricade and into the crowd.

Reed hauls Uso back into the ring and tags in Breakker. Setting up for a tribute to the Steiner Brothers, Reed lifts Uso onto his shoulders while Breakker climbs to the top rope. Together they connect with a flying bulldog, but the cover still only gets a two-count.

Breakker exits the ring as Reed stays behind to finish the job. He sets up in the corner, ready to hit the Tsunami, when Reigns suddenly returns and cuts him off with a surprise Superman Punch. With both Uso and Reigns now back in control, they team up to deliver a 1D to Reed. Uso makes the cover, but Breakker dives in just in time to break it up. The match remains wide open as the battle rages on.

Bron Breakker took a moment to taunt the crowd while the other three competitors were down. He then mounted Jey Uso and hammered him with a barrage of heavy right hands. Commentary noted how fresh Breakker looked despite the chaos, pointing out that he had not shown any signs of fatigue.

As the crowd roared, Breakker pulled down his straps and stood tall in the corner, locking his eyes on Jey Uso. Letting out a fierce yell, he charged in for a Spear, but Roman Reigns shoved Jey out of harm’s way and took the hit himself. That act of sacrifice lit a fire in Uso, who sprang up and nailed Breakker with a Spear of his own.

Seizing the opportunity, Jey climbed to the top rope and landed a picture-perfect Uso Splash on Bronson Reed. He hooked the leg for the cover, and the referee counted a surprisingly fast three, awarding the victory.

Your winners: Roman Reigns and Jey Uso  

Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair vs. Judgment Day (Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne! Perez) (c) (WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship)

The match kicked off with Perez and Bliss locking up. Alexa quickly gained the upper hand with a sharp arm drag before tagging in Charlotte Flair. The Queen wasted no time asserting herself, clearing the apron with a big boot. Perez attempted to halt Flair's momentum by climbing on her back with a sleeper hold, but Flair shook her off. After a quick exchange of kicks, Flair landed a snapmare, only for Rodriguez to run interference and shift the tide. Perez capitalized on the distraction and tagged Raquel into the match.

Rodriguez engaged Flair with a heated flurry of chops and elbows before whipping her into the corner. Charlotte executed her signature Flair Flip onto the apron but was met with a stiff superkick. As she attempted to re-enter the ring, Rodriguez caught her mid-air with a powerful fallaway slam and tagged in Roxanne. Perez landed a handspring knee drop and made a cover for two.

The Judgment Day duo began to isolate Charlotte with quick tags, choking her in the ropes and delivering cheap shots. Rodriguez took over with a series of falling elbows and locked in a top wristlock. Flair eventually escaped and landed a diving Frankensteiner. As she looked for the tag, Perez tried to cut her off, but Charlotte broke free and made the tag to Bliss.

Bliss exploded into the match with shoulder blocks and a Lou Thesz Press, raining down punches before delivering a sharp dropkick. She followed with a handspring knee drop, only for Raquel to break it up. Perez nearly stole the match with an overrotated schoolboy, then raked Alexa's eyes to block Sister Abigail and followed with a corkscrew uppercut. She attempted a double-jump moonsault, but missed the mark.

Rodriguez returned and ate a flash kick from Bliss. Alexa followed with a snap DDT on Perez and climbed to the top rope. She aimed for Twisted Bliss, but Perez got the knees up just in time. Rodriguez answered with a folding press, but Bliss kicked out. Raquel and Perez then executed a boot-assisted Russian legsweep, which also only netted a two-count.

With the referee briefly distracted by Flair, Perez slammed Bliss and tagged Rodriguez back in. Raquel hoisted Alexa into a Canadian backbreaker rack, but Bliss escaped and avoided a crushing elbow drop. Rodriguez stopped her from tagging and dropped her with a shoulder block. Flair finally returned, delivering a fallaway slam and a kip-up, then went for the Figure Eight, only for Perez to break it up with a moonsault.

The pace quickened with quick tags from Judgment Day. Rodriguez slammed Bliss and set up Roxanne for Pop Rox, but Bliss broke the count just in time. Grabbing Perez, Bliss set up while Flair took out Rodriguez with a running boot. That gave Bliss the opening to connect with Sister Abigail DDT.

Your winners: Alexa Bliss pinned Roxanne Perez to win the match and crown herself and Charlotte Flair the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.

After the match, the new champions embraced in the ring, celebrating their victory with mutual respect and sportsmanship.

Sami Zayn vs Karrion Kross w/ Scarlett

Karrion Kross made his entrance to a solid reaction from the crowd, followed shortly by Sami Zayn. Once the bell rang, the match quickly escalated, with the action spilling to the outside. Zayn launched himself off the barricade with a Moonsault, taking down Kross before sending things back into the ring.

Zayn attempted to climb the ropes for a high-risk move, but Kross evaded and countered with a Death Valley Driver for an early near fall. The pace slowed as Kross took firm control, grinding Zayn down while the crowd erupted into a dueling chant.

Kross remained dominant, attempting multiple covers while shouting taunts at Zayn, including the aggressive cry, "Just say it, bastard!" During Zayn's comeback, Scarlett slipped a weapon into the ring and egged him on to use it. After a long moment of inner conflict, Zayn refused and tossed it aside.

Kross tried to capitalize with a surprise roll-up, but Zayn broke free. Regaining momentum, Zayn hit an Exploder Suplex into the corner and followed up with a Helluva Kick to secure the victory.

Your Winner, Sami Zayn!

Hulk Hogan SummerSlam Tribute

During the broadcast, Michael Cole and Wade Barrett paused to reflect on the passing of WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan. A tribute package aired in his memory, showcasing iconic moments from his legendary career. Cole highlighted Hogan’s unforgettable SummerSlam history, including his time alongside the Mega Powers and memorable matches against the likes of Shawn Michaels and Randy Orton.

As the tribute concluded, Cole shared a final sentiment: “Rest in peace, Hulkster.” He also noted that fans can honor Hogan's legacy in the ring while acknowledging the difference between the performer and the man behind the persona, Terry Bollea.

WWE Women's Championship Match: Tiffany Stratton(c) vs Jade Cargill

Cargill made her entrance first, followed by Stratton, who confidently shouted, "What time is it?" before the two competitors locked up. The opening pace was methodical. Stratton extended a hand, seemingly offering sportsmanship, but Cargill responded with a swift jump kick to the face and an early two-count. The fight spilled to the outside shortly after, with Cargill controlling the flow by rolling in and out of the ring to reset the referee's count.

Back in the ring, Cargill flexed to the crowd, only for Stratton to seize the moment with a sneak attack that sent Cargill to the floor. Stratton followed up with a perfectly executed Suicide Dive. After rolling Cargill back inside, Stratton climbed to the top rope and connected with a Swanton Bomb, earning a near fall.

Cargill recovered in the corner and caught Stratton mid-motion, halting her high-energy offensive. She gained the advantage with a sit-out powerbomb she calls the "Eye of the Storm," but it only secured a two-count.

The intensity grew as both women began trading strikes in the center of the ring. Stratton managed to land a flashy acrobatic move followed by a rough-looking Alabama Slam. She went for her signature Prettiest Moonsault Ever, but Cargill got the knees up to block. Stratton tried to recover in the ropes, but Cargill responded with a chokeslam and then launched her into the corner. Climbing the turnbuckles, Cargill attempted to hit her finishing move, Jaded, but Stratton flipped her way out of danger.

With momentum shifting, Stratton darted up top and finally landed the Prettiest Moonsault Ever, this time cleanly. She immediately covered for the three-count.

Your Winner and STILL WWE Women's Champion, Tiffany Stratton!

Tag Team Match: Randy Orton & Jelly Roll vs Drew McIntyre & Logan Paul

Logan Paul kicked off the entrance procession to a wave of anticipation, followed shortly by his tag team partner Drew McIntyre, known as the “Scottish Psychopath.” Before the bell could ring, Jelly Roll made a surprise appearance and paused on the stage to grab a microphone. “I’d like to take a moment to pledge allegiance to the Apex Predator tonight,” he said, before singing the opening line of Randy Orton’s theme song. Orton then made his entrance to a huge pop from the crowd. Commentary noted that Jelly Roll had reportedly dropped over 230 pounds, weighing in at 290 for this highly-anticipated matchup.

As the match began, Logan Paul struck first with a cheap shot on Jelly Roll, prompting Orton to chase him until the official restored order. Jelly Roll quickly tagged himself in, fired up and ready for revenge. After some brief stalling and jawing between the competitors, Logan finally kicked things off with a strike to Roll’s midsection, followed by a scoop slam. Roll responded with a slam of his own and an early two-count, shocking Paul.

Drew McIntyre entered the ring next, drawing loud chants for Jelly Roll. Roll teased tagging in Orton but instead taunted McIntyre, who responded with a slap to the back of the head. Orton again asked to be tagged in, but Roll remained defiant. That tension led to a heated face-off between Roll and McIntyre. When Jelly slapped Drew across the face, it sparked a flurry of strikes, only for McIntyre to shut it down with a brutal Glasgow Kiss. McIntyre then took control, punishing Roll in the corner with heavy strikes and taunts aimed at Orton.

Logan Paul returned to slow the pace, soaking up jeers from the crowd while mocking his opponents. He worked over Jelly Roll in the corner, landing a flurry of body shots and later holding Roll in place for McIntyre to deliver more damage. At one point, Paul stood on the ropes and rubbed Roll’s face in his crotch area, drawing even louder boos.

Drew delivered a cheap shot to Orton and continued to taunt him. Roll managed to counter an attack by sending McIntyre flying over the top rope, allowing him to make a hot tag to Orton. Orton cleared the ring and connected with his signature Powerslam and Draping DDT on McIntyre, setting up for the RKO. However, Paul yanked Drew out of the ring before it could land. Orton chased them outside, where he back-dropped McIntyre on the commentary table and sent Paul crashing as well. Just when Orton seemed in control, Drew struck from behind with a sudden Claymore.

As Jelly Roll checked on Orton, Logan Paul capitalized with a loaded right hand that floored Roll. With the referee giving ample leeway, Paul cleared the commentary table and took a swig of Prime before heading to the top rope. Drew set Jelly Roll on the table and counted Paul down as he launched into a diving Frog Splash that shattered the table and left Roll in a heap at ringside. EMTs swarmed in to assess the damage while Paul handed something to Michael Cole.

Back in the ring, Logan and Drew took advantage of the chaos by isolating Orton and hammering away with quick tags. Meanwhile, Jelly Roll limped around ringside under medical supervision. McIntyre set up Orton for a Blockbuster from Paul, who covered for two but could not get the pin. Jelly Roll was shown pausing on the ramp, seemingly reconsidering his exit. As Drew taunted from the top rope, Orton fought back and delivered a Superplex.

Jelly Roll returned to the apron and made the tag to a thunderous reaction. He delivered a string of offense, including multiple clotheslines to Logan Paul, a chokeslam, and a spinning slam on McIntyre. When Paul attempted a Blockbuster, Roll countered with a spinning powerslam. McIntyre responded with a Claymore, but Orton returned with an RKO. Paul threw Orton into the ring post and climbed to the top rope, connecting with the Paul From Grace to secure the pinfall victory.

Winners: Drew McIntyre & Logan Paul

World Heavyweight Championship Main Event Match: Gunther(c) vs CM Punk

CM Punk made his entrance to a thunderous ovation from the crowd, proudly wearing Fantastic Four-inspired gear for the night’s main event. The anticipation reached a fever pitch as the World Heavyweight Champion, “The Ring General” Gunther, arrived next. Alicia Taylor handled the main event introductions, highlighting that this was the first-ever meeting between Punk and Gunther. A loud chant broke out in support of Punk just before the opening bell.

The match opened with a test of strength. Gunther pushed Punk into the corner, only for Punk to reverse with a standing switch before the referee called for a clean break. Both men took their time feeling each other out, playing mind games as the commentary reminded fans of Gunther’s remarkably dominant five-year record, featuring only a handful of losses. The match moved slowly with a heavy emphasis on technical wrestling, with Gunther targeting Punk’s upper body and delivering punishing chops to the chest and legs.

Punk attempted to fire back but was quickly dropped by another thunderous chop. Gunther dominated with calculated brutality, halting any of Punk’s early comeback attempts. After wearing down the challenger, Gunther launched Punk over the top rope, continuing to assert dominance both inside and outside the ring.

Despite the onslaught, Punk began to show glimmers of resilience. He answered with chops and kicks of his own, but the champion quickly shut it down. At one point, Gunther rained down elbows while screaming, “Who’s the kid now? Call me kid again!” Punk tried for a GTS but could not connect, then attempted a Sharpshooter which Gunther blocked. Gunther responded by locking in a Sharpshooter of his own. Punk pounded the mat, not in submission but seemingly to rally himself. He eventually reversed the hold into a Figure Four, then transitioned into his own Sharpshooter, forcing Gunther to reach the ropes for the break.

The momentum began to shift. Punk, now bleeding and bruised, started stringing together a comeback with clotheslines and chops before landing a big slam and going for a near fall. Gunther answered back with a sudden Powerbomb to stall Punk’s progress. Punk surprised the champion with a Triangle Hold, but Gunther escaped and regained control with more stiff strikes and a clothesline.

As both men recovered, Punk tried to head to the top rope but was cut off and tossed across the ring. Gunther hit a diving splash for another near fall and followed with more slow, deliberate offense. He hit a pair of vicious clotheslines before attempting another Powerbomb, but Punk managed to counter with a Go To Sleep attempt. Gunther again evaded and delivered a brutal Shotgun Dropkick followed by a second Powerbomb, but Punk somehow kicked out.

Gunther, growing increasingly frustrated, taunted Punk while continuing the assault. He draped Punk over the turnbuckle and applied a painful submission hold using Punk’s own body weight against him. After tossing Punk outside the ring and breaking the referee’s count, Gunther climbed onto the commentary table and arrogantly raised his title, declaring himself “the best in the world.”

That moment of overconfidence backfired. Punk charged, yanked Gunther off the table, and sent him crashing down. While the referee counted, both men struggled to recover, but Gunther emerged with a bloody face, possibly due to a broken nose. The match escalated as Punk, fired up by the sight of Gunther’s blood, delivered a diving elbow from the top rope.

With the crowd at a fever pitch, Punk called for the GTS. Gunther responded by locking in a sleeper hold, but Punk powered out, landing the first GTS. Gunther staggered but did not fall. Punk hit a second GTS and went for the cover to secure the three-count.

Your Winner and NEW World Heavyweight Champion: CM Punk....

SETH ROLLINS!

The crowd came unglued as Seth “Freakin” Rollins made his entrance to a thunderous chorus of “Burn It Down” echoing throughout the stadium, with over 53,000 fans on their feet. Rollins emerged alongside Paul Heyman, noticeably on walking crutches and wearing a large brace around his leg. Heyman held tightly to the Money in the Bank briefcase, clutching it like a prophecy waiting to unfold.

Rollins began jawing at CM Punk from the stage, hurling verbal jabs as he limped his way down the ramp. But just as the tension peaked, Rollins suddenly tossed the crutches aside, ripped off the brace, and sprinted full speed toward the ring, revealing the injury was all a ruse. He went on to pin a battered Punk after attacking him with the MITB briefcase, and claimed the World Heavyweight Championship in front of over 53,000 stunned fans!

Your Winner and NEW World Heavyweight Champion: Seth Rollin!
