Summary
The WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match was a spirited tag bout with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss defending against Chelsea Green and Alba Fyre. Green and Fyre came out with intensity, double‑teaming Flair early and keeping Bliss isolated for stretches with quick tags and opportunistic offense. Flair showed her veteran instincts by weathering the early storm and tagging in Bliss, who brought spark with a mix of arm drags and a dropkick that shifted momentum. The champions hit back‑to‑back Natural Selections that put Green down for the three‑count, allowing Flair and Bliss to retain their belts. The pace was crisp, the near‑falls were solid, and while it wasn’t bucket‑loads of originality, it scratched that tag team itch people want right before a big live event.
Summary
This impromptu tag team match had The Vision (Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker) going up against Fraxiom (Axiom and Nathan Frazer) in a physical mid‑card contest. Reed and Breakker looked like two modern wrecking balls, using size and strength to bully their opponents early, tossing Axiom into the corner and teeing off with heavy chops that got some “holy shit” chants from the crowd. Frazer and Axiom showed flashes of teamwork and quick offense that kept things interesting, but it was Reed’s spear to Axiom followed by Breakker’s running Tsunami on Frazer that sealed the win. Simple, straight‑ahead, and effective tag team action that sent a message heading into Wrestlepalooza.

Summary
For the United States Championship Open Challenge, Sami Zayn stepped into singles competition against Carmelo Hayes in what turned out to be the standout match of the night. Both men brought their best early exchanges, with Hayes using sharp counters and quick kicks to keep Zayn guessing and Zayn firing back with stiff strikes and those sudden flurries that get the crowd’s attention. Hayes looked like he might steal momentum with a few near‑falls and a springboard move that earned cheers, but Zayn shrugged off the momentum and hit a Blue Thunder Bomb to score the pinfall. It was the longest match of the evening and felt like a proper showcase for Zayn’s title reign, validating him as a fighting champion in front of a lively audience
