WWE Women’s World Championship Asuka (C) vs. Charlotte Flair – Asuka wins via DQ when, after a few minutes of intense back-and-forth action, the match takes an intriguing turn when Bianca Belair interjects herself into the fray. Asuka connects with a strike on Belair, triggering a reaction from the record-breaking women’s champion of the modern WWE era. Unfazed, Belair retaliates and fights back against Asuka.

The brothers make their way to the ring, confronting their former allies within The Bloodline, setting the stage for their imminent clash in the Bloodline Civil War at MITB.
The Usos remind Roman Reigns that he has not suffered a pinfall defeat in three years. They boldly declare that the next time he will be pinned is at WWE Money In The Bank, which would mark the end of his reign as the Tribal Chief.
Throughout the O2 Arena, sporadic chants of “Solo!” emerge from the crowd. As Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso come face to face, Jey Uso seizes the opportunity and slides into the ring, delivering a powerful superkick to Reigns. The unexpected attack leaves a lasting impact on the tense confrontation.
