Undisputed WWE Championship
Cody Rhodes (Champion) vs. Drew McIntyre

The unmistakable theme of Cody Rhodes hits, and the Delta Center erupts. The crowd sings along as fireworks explode across the stage. “The American Nightmare” steps onto the ramp, soaking in the moment before entering the ring, kneeling, and kissing the mat.

Moments later, Drew McIntyre’s entrance ignites the arena. “The Scottish Psychopath” storms to the ring through pyro of his own, his eyes locked on the Undisputed WWE Champion.

Ring announcer Lilian Garcia’s microphone lowers as she delivers the formal introductions. McIntyre cuts her off, demanding to be called “the real American Dream.” The crowd rains down boos as Garcia continues with the champion’s introduction.

Referee Dan Engler signals for the bell, and the title match is underway. Commentary duties are handled by Michael Cole and Wade Barrett, who remind viewers that the championship can change hands via disqualification or count-out.

Cody rushes at McIntyre to gain the early advantage, landing several strikes. McIntyre retaliates and begins mocking the champion, trying to bait him into losing his composure. Turning his back to the referee, McIntyre sneaks in a quick bite to Cody’s forehead. Cody fires back, stomping McIntyre repeatedly until the referee steps in. Cody shoves him aside, continuing his attack, and Cole quickly defends Cody’s actions on commentary.

McIntyre turns the tide, slamming Cody’s knee into the steel ring post. He hurls Rhodes over the barricade and races back into the ring, urging Engler to count him out. Cody narrowly beats the count, returning at eight, only to be met with heavy ground-and-pound offense from McIntyre.

After a brief broadcast freeze, the action resumes with both men trading blows. McIntyre introduces the title belt into the match, tossing it toward Cody in another attempt to provoke a disqualification. He then tries for a Claymore through the announce table, but Cody dodges and counters with a strike.

Rhodes rolls back into the ring, only for McIntyre to slam him off the apron and through the announce table. Cody somehow crawls back in at nine to save his championship. With Cody visibly injured, McIntyre prepares for the Claymore countdown. Cody sidesteps the kick, but McIntyre catches him for a Future Shock DDT attempt. Cody twists free, narrowly avoiding the referee, and climbs the ropes, only for his knee to buckle.

Engler checks on the champion, but McIntyre seizes the moment, dragging Cody up. Out of nowhere, Cody connects with a super Cody Cutter from the top rope for a near fall. The champion pulls himself up and sets for Cross Rhodes, but McIntyre escapes, striking him square in the face. Cody tries again, but McIntyre counters and sends Cody crashing into the referee.

Rhodes springs back for a Disaster Kick, but McIntyre levels him mid-air with a Glasgow Kiss. With the referee down, McIntyre grabs the championship belt and swings for Cody’s head. Cody ducks and counters, planting McIntyre face-first onto the title. He hooks the leg as the referee stirs and counts the three.

Winner and STILL Undisputed WWE Champion: Cody Rhodes

The crowd erupts as Cody clutches his title, surviving one of the most brutal challenges of his reign.

WWE Women’s Championship
Tiffany Stratton (Champion) vs. Jade Cargill

A detailed pre-match video package airs, setting the stage for the second of four championship bouts of the evening. After a quick commercial break, the show returns with the ring entrances for both competitors. It is officially “Tiffy-Time” as Tiffany Stratton makes her way to the ring, ready to defend her title.

The camera pans around the arena to reveal several celebrity guests seated at ringside, including Post Malone, Tony Hinchcliffe, and Pauly Shore. The challenger, Jade Cargill, is out first with her trademark confidence, followed by the champion, Tiffany Stratton, who receives a loud reaction from the Salt Lake City crowd. The ring introductions are made, the referee calls for the bell, and the match is underway.

Cargill wastes no time going after Stratton’s injured knee, immediately targeting it to gain an advantage. The challenger takes control early and keeps the pressure on, overpowering the champion and driving her out to the floor. As Cargill looks to continue her assault, Stratton manages to trip her face-first into the steel steps, finally creating an opening. Back in the ring, Stratton climbs to the middle rope and lands a hard facebuster on Cargill to regain some momentum.

The comeback is short-lived. Cargill refocuses on the damaged knee and begins to dismantle Stratton once more. After delivering two thunderous powerbombs, Cargill lifts Stratton high into the air and connects cleanly with her signature Jaded finisher. She immediately hooks the leg for the cover and scores the three-count to capture her first WWE Women’s Championship.

Winner and NEW WWE Women’s Champion: Jade Cargill

WWE Intercontinental Championship
Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. Penta vs. Rusev

The pre-match video package sets the stage for the WWE Intercontinental Championship triple threat contest, with Dominik Mysterio defending his title against Penta and Rusev. The story focuses on the champion’s run of successful defenses and the looming threat posed by two dominant challengers.

As the broadcast returns live, the lights flash and the arena erupts as Penta’s music hits. The masked warrior emerges to a roar from the crowd. Moments later, “The Bulgarian Brute” Rusev storms to the ring, eyes locked on the championship. The boos begin as Dominik Mysterio makes his entrance last, carrying his title proudly while taunting the audience. Michael Cole notes that Mysterio has more wins in championship matches this year than anyone else on the WWE roster.

The bell rings and chaos breaks out instantly. Rusev charges at Mysterio, but Penta pulls him back, landing a series of sharp kicks to the champion. The two challengers briefly work together before turning on each other, with Penta lighting up Rusev’s chest with thunderous chops. When Penta hits the ropes, Rusev surprises him with a textbook dropkick before attempting a quick pin, which Mysterio breaks up.

Rusev overpowers both opponents, launching Mysterio across the ring with a gut-wrench suplex and then a fallaway slam that sends the champion rolling to the outside. He rips Mysterio’s shirt and tosses it into the crowd, drawing cheers. Penta reenters the fight with a flying senton from the top rope to take out Rusev, but Mysterio fires back with a superkick and follows it with a suicide dive through the ropes. The crowd erupts as Mysterio flexes proudly.

Back in the ring, Penta regains control with a blistering combination of kicks and a handstand slingshot basement dropkick. Rusev yanks Penta out of the ring and levels him with a crushing clothesline on the floor. The brute dominance continues as Rusev traps Penta in The Accolade in the center of the ring while Mysterio remains down at ringside.

Suddenly, the bell rings, but Penta has not tapped. Rusev releases the hold and celebrates prematurely, only for the camera to reveal that Mysterio rang the bell himself to create confusion. Realizing what happened, Rusev storms toward Mysterio, but the champion sidesteps him and sends him crashing into the barricade.

Mysterio rolls back inside, only to find Penta waiting with the ring bell hammer. Penta swings, but Mysterio ducks, and the weapon connects with Rusev instead. Mysterio shoves Penta into the ring post, climbs to the top rope, and hits a perfect frog splash on Rusev to score the three-count.

Winner and STILL WWE Intercontinental Champion: Dominik Mysterio

WWE World Heavyweight Championship
CM Punk vs. 'Main Event' Jey Uso

The atmosphere hit a fever pitch as the lights dimmed for the night’s main event.

Backstage, Jimmy Uso was seen fired up and motivating Jey Uso after the Intercontinental title bout. The camera lingered a little too long on the brothers, hinting that something might be brewing between them before cutting to a quick break.

When the show returned, the crowd erupted as “Main Event” Jey Uso made his way out to his signature “YEET” chant, oozing confidence on his walk to the ring. Moments later, Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” filled the arena and the energy shifted instantly. CM Punk, “The Best in the World,” dropped to one knee, declaring it “Clobbering Time” before heading to the ring to massive cheers. The ring announcer handled the introductions, and the bell rang for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match.

The two circled one another cautiously before locking up. Punk cornered Uso, but the referee stepped in. Uso responded with a hard chest slap and his trademark “YEET,” taunting the veteran. Punk tried to hoist Uso for a Go to Sleep early, but Jey slipped free, rolling him up for a quick one-count. Punk transitioned to an arm wrench and side headlock, controlling the pace, but Uso countered with a shoulder tackle and a forearm to the jaw.

Uso began to target Punk’s neck with strikes and a headlock takeover, slowing things down. Punk managed to fight back, hitting a snap-mare and a series of elbow drops, earning a near-fall. After a brief misstep on a neckbreaker attempt, Punk recovered quickly and landed the move cleanly for another two-count, ripping at Uso’s shirt before chopping his chest.

Uso answered with a Samoan Drop and a spear attempt, but Punk countered with a front facelock and a swinging neckbreaker for two. Punk then applied pressure to Uso’s back and neck, wearing him down, but Jey battled out and scored a jackknife pin for two. Punk nearly ended it with a Go to Sleep, yet Uso tumbled out of the ring, saving himself.

In a wild moment, Punk poured water over Uso’s head to wake him up before dragging him back inside. Punk tried a superplex, but Uso headbutted him down and hit a diving attack, followed by his running hip attack and another emphatic “YEET.” Punk dodged a second attempt and went for another GTS, but Uso escaped and landed a superkick followed by a spear and an Uso Splash for a dramatic near-fall.

The intensity spilled to the outside as Uso speared Punk through the barricade, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Back inside, Uso went for another Splash, but Punk got his knees up and hit a GTS for a razor-close two-count. Uso shockingly responded by hitting a GTS of his own, then a spear, but Punk retaliated with a spear of his own for yet another near-fall.

Both men, visibly exhausted, kept pushing the limits. Uso locked in a sleeper hold reminiscent of Gunther’s, nearly putting Punk out. Punk reversed into his Anaconda Vice, wrenching back hard until Uso grabbed the ropes. In the final sequence, Uso connected with two superkicks and charged for a spear, only to run into a knee strike from Punk.

Punk seized the moment, delivering back-to-back GTS finishers before collapsing onto Uso for the pinfall victory. The Salt Lake City crowd exploded in celebration as CM Punk was crowned the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. He fell to his knees, emotional, holding the title close as the fans roared in approval.
