All Highlights and Major Moments from the Show
- The show kicked off with Roman Reigns cutting a promo in front of the Birmingham, England, crowd, but he was soon interrupted by Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman. Bronson spoke about his Samoan roots, claiming his tattoos were earned, unlike Roman’s. Roman challenged Bronson to come to the ring and return the shoes Bronson had stolen from him in the past few months. Bronson responded that if he came to the ring, Roman would have to acknowledge him as the “Tribal Thief.” Roman grew angrier, and a brawl erupted between him and Reed. The segment ended with officials and referees separating the two in a chaotic pull-apart brawl.
- Backstage, Rhea Ripley was stretching her legs when IYO SKY confronted her. IYO explained that Asuka and Kairi Sane are like family to her, and she didn’t want tension with them, so she asked Rhea to keep her distance. Rhea said she understood, and the two shared a hug while Asuka watched from afar, visibly upset. To be honest, the hug between Rhea and IYO felt more like one between lesbian lovers than a friendly gesture. If this is the direction WWE is taking with this storyline, fans are in for a treat.
- Backstage, Adam Pearce informed Stephanie Vaquer that he would reveal her opponent for the WWE Women’s Championship at next week’s episode of RAW.
- Becky Lynch entered the ring and cut a heel-style promo, taking digs at the Birmingham crowd. Nikki Bella interrupted, leading to a heated back-and-forth promo battle. In typical heel fashion, Becky attempted a cheap shot, but Nikki countered. Nikki nearly hit Becky with a Rack Attack 2.0, but Becky escaped and retreated. It’s now official that Becky Lynch will defend her Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Nikki Bella at WWE Clash in Paris (2025).
- After Rhea Ripley defeated Roxanne Perez, Raquel Rodriguez attacked Rhea, turning it into a 2-on-1 assault with Roxanne. Returning the favour from last week, IYO SKY rushed to the ring to help Rhea, taking down both Roxanne and Raquel. The segment ended with Rhea and IYO standing tall in the ring.
- Backstage, IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley shared a romantic moment, with IYO sensually touching Rhea’s legs, hinting at a deeper connection. Rhea teased IYO for not keeping her distance, and IYO responded, “I owe you for saving me last week.” Rhea replied, “You owe me nothing, but I appreciate the help tonight,” before leaving. Asuka and Kairi Sane then appeared, with Asuka yelling at IYO for getting close to Rhea. Asuka demanded IYO stop talking to Rhea, leaving IYO visibly devastated and shocked by Asuka’s behavior.
- Adam Pearce announced that Dominik Mysterio will defend his Intercontinental Championship against AJ Styles next week on WWE RAW in Paris.
- After the main event match between LA Knight and Bron Breakker, Seth Rollins entered the ring and, along with Bron, attacked Knight. Jey Uso rushed to Knight’s rescue but was also taken down by Seth and Bron. CM Punk then entered, taking down Bron outside the ring before brawling with Seth inside. Seth soon escaped. Punk helped Jey Uso to his feet, but tensions escalated when LA Knight pushed Punk, and Punk pushed Knight into Jey Uso. Jey responded by hitting Knight with a Superkick and, in a shocking turn of events, also hit CM Punk with a Superkick. The show went off the air with Rollins laughing at the entrance ramp alongside Bron Breakker, as tensions boiled over between CM Punk, LA Knight, and Jey Uso.
