Summary

Rey Mysterio and Kofi Kingston opened things up with a clean, athletic match that felt like two veterans reminding everyone they can still go. Kofi had Xavier Woods in his corner and leaned into quick strikes and agility, but Rey matched him step for step and kept things just a little tighter. The pace stayed high without getting sloppy, and neither guy overreached into anything too dramatic. Rey eventually found his opening, hit his finish, and picked up the win. Nothing groundbreaking, but it was smooth, easy to watch, and did exactly what an opening match should do.

Summary

This turned into a power-versus-resilience match pretty quickly, with Bayley trying to outmaneuver someone who clearly wasn’t going to be outmaneuvered for long. Bayley actually got more offense in than you might expect, including some near falls that at least made it feel competitive, but Nia Jax kept shutting things down with size and force. Once Nia took control, the tone shifted hard—Bayley was mostly surviving instead of dictating anything. Nia eventually hit her finish and ended it clean. It wasn’t subtle, but it didn’t need to be; the match made it clear who the heavier hitter was.

Summary

Penta and Pete Dunne had the kind of match that feels like it should’ve gone longer, mostly because they worked stiff and didn’t waste motion. Dunne targeted limbs like he always does, trying to slow things down and break Penta apart piece by piece, but Penta kept pushing the pace back in his favor with sharper, more explosive offense. The two styles clashed in a good way—methodical versus aggressive—and neither guy really dominated for long stretches. Penta eventually hit the Penta Driver to finish it. Solid match, maybe the most “wrestling-heavy” one on the show, even if it didn’t get a ton of time.

Damage CTRL

Pure Fusion Collective

Summary

This tag match moved fast and didn’t waste time pretending to be anything more than a sprint. Damage CTRL worked as the more cohesive team, tagging in and out cleanly and keeping control when they needed it. Baszler and Stark had their moments, especially when things broke down and turned a little more chaotic, but they never fully took over. The finish came quickly, with Damage CTRL capitalizing and putting it away before things could drag. It wasn’t a deep match, but it was efficient, and honestly that worked in its favor given everything else packed onto the show.

Summary

Rollins and McIntyre closed the show with a match that leaned more into impact than finesse. Drew controlled big portions of it, throwing heavy shots and keeping Rollins on the defensive, but Rollins kept hanging around and waiting for an opening instead of trying to overpower him. That opening came quickly—almost abruptly—with Rollins catching Drew off guard and scoring a fast pin to steal the win. After the bell, Drew did what Drew does lately and snapped, attacking Rollins until Sami Zayn ran in to help. That didn’t go smoothly either, as Zayn accidentally blasted Rollins with a Helluva Kick while aiming for McIntyre. The match itself was solid, but the aftermath kind of overshadowed it—which feels like a recurring theme whenever Drew loses his temper.
