Match-by-Match Breakdown & Extended Highlights
Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena
Few rivalries in WWE history are as iconic as Brock Lesnar versus John Cena. This match felt like a throwback to their legendary clashes, but with a shocking twist: Paul Heyman’s surprise return.
Before the match even began, Heyman arrived to introduce Lesnar, signaling that “The Beast Incarnate” was back under his legendary advocate’s wing. The Indianapolis crowd erupted in shock.
Cena came out strong, hitting three consecutive Attitude Adjustments, but Lesnar kicked out in classic “Beast” fashion. The tide turned when Lesnar unleashed a storm of six F-5s, leaving Cena nearly broken.
After the pinfall, Lesnar didn’t stop. He destroyed Cena and even the referee with more F-5s, re-establishing himself as WWE’s most dangerous force.
This wasn’t just a victory — it was a massacre. The Heyman-Lesnar alliance is back, and that means bad news for the entire WWE roster.
Bronson Reed & Bron Breakker vs. The Usos
In a chaotic tag team war, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker, representing “The Vision,” faced off against the legendary Usos. Adding to the drama, LA Knight served as special referee — but played it loose, letting weapons and chaos run wild.
Chairs, tables, and brawling outside the ring turned this match into a demolition derby. Jey Uso honored his late relative Umaga with a devastating corner hip attack with a chair. Jimmy Uso brought the crowd to life by setting up tables, delivering the high-risk action fans craved.
Despite the Usos’ iconic double-team moves, Reed and Breakker proved unstoppable. Breakker speared both Usos through a table, and Reed sealed the win with his monstrous Tsunami splash.
The Vision now looks unstoppable, and the tension between LA Knight and Jey Uso only added fuel to future rivalries.
Stephanie Vaquer vs. IYO SKY (Women’s World Title Match)
With Naomi forced to relinquish her championship due to injury, the Women’s World Title was up for grabs between IYO SKY and international sensation Stephanie Vaquer.
This match was pure wrestling magic. SKY and Vaquer went counter for counter, dazzling the crowd with fast-paced offense. SKY seemed to injure her knee after a dragon screw, but she fought through the pain, hitting a breathtaking Spanish Fly.
The finish came when SKY missed her second attempt at the Over the Moonsault, worsening her injured knee. Vaquer capitalized, hitting a Spiral Tap to win her first Women’s World Title in WWE.
The WWE Universe showered the ring with “This is awesome” chants, and Vaquer’s victory cemented her as a global star in women’s wrestling.
CM Punk & AJ Lee vs. Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch
One of the most anticipated matches of the night was the return of AJ Lee, teaming with her husband CM Punk against power couple Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.
This match blurred the line between spectacle and chaos. Rollins mocked AJ by skipping around the ring, only to be nailed with a GTS from Punk. The crowd roared as AJ tagged in, taking down Becky Lynch while fans chanted “You still got it!”
The highlight came when AJ locked the Black Widow on Lynch, while Punk simultaneously trapped Rollins in the Sharpshooter. Though the heels escaped, the chemistry between Punk and AJ was undeniable.
The action spilled onto the announce table, collapsing under all four competitors. Ultimately, AJ Lee forced Becky Lynch to submit with the Black Widow, marking her emotional return with victory.
This was more than just a tag match — it was a love letter to fans who had waited over a decade to see AJ Lee shine in WWE once again.
Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre (Undisputed WWE Championship)
In the main event, Cody Rhodes defended his Undisputed WWE Championship for the first time since defeating John Cena at SummerSlam, squaring off against the brutal Drew McIntyre.
From the start, McIntyre dominated, slamming Rhodes onto steel steps and nearly ending the match with a reverse Alabama Slam. Cody looked vulnerable, but his resilience never wavered.
McIntyre nearly ended it with a Claymore Kick attempt outside the ring, but he crashed into the announce table instead, injuring his leg. That moment swung momentum back to Rhodes, who capitalized with a Cross Rhodes to secure the victory.
The American Nightmare remains champion, but McIntyre’s dominance in the match suggests their rivalry is far from over.
