Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins’ Heated Confrontation
The show kicked off with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes facing off with World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. With their epic title match set for WWE Crown Jewel, both men pulled no punches on the microphone. Rhodes mocked Rollins’ flamboyance and questioned his legacy, while Rollins reminded Cody of his long history of falling short in critical matches. Security had to intervene as the champions nearly came to blows. This fiery exchange set the tone for Crown Jewel’s main event hype.
Penta & The War Raiders vs. The New Day & Grayson Waller (No Disqualification Match)
Chaos took over as Penta teamed up with The War Raiders to face The New Day and Grayson Waller in a No Disqualification six-man tag team showdown. The match was filled with carnage — kendo sticks cracked, tables exploded, and fans were on their feet the entire time. The climax came when Penta executed a jaw-dropping Avalanche Mexican Destroyer on Waller from the top rope through a table, securing the victory.
Bayley vs. Roxanne Perez
Bayley faced Roxanne Perez in what began as a competitive contest. However, Bayley’s darker side emerged in the closing moments as she hit the Rose Plant to seal the win. The shock came after the match when Bayley suddenly turned on her supposed ally Lyra Valkyria, shoving her to the canvas and storming off in rage. This heel turn left fans buzzing about Bayley’s true intentions heading into the fall season.
Rusev vs. JD McDonagh
The Bulgarian Brute Rusev dominated JD McDonagh in a hard-hitting contest. McDonagh had little offense, and when Rusev locked in the Accolade, Dominik Mysterio teased helping but froze in fear. McDonagh tapped out, and Rusev refused to release the hold until Finn Bálor stormed down to rescue his Judgment Day ally. This hesitation by Dominik Mysterio created visible cracks within Judgment Day.
Jey Uso vs. LA Knight
Jey Uso went one-on-one with LA Knight, but the match was overshadowed by interference from Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed of The Vision. Their presence distracted LA Knight, giving Jey the opening to hit a devastating Spear and Uso Splash for the victory. After the match, Knight was assaulted by Breakker and Reed, but Jey shockingly refused to help. Instead, Jimmy Uso grabbed a steel chair to save Knight, leaving questions about Jey’s loyalties moving forward.
Rhea Ripley vs. Asuka
In one of the night’s most anticipated matches, Rhea Ripley battled Asuka. The contest was intense, but miscommunication between Asuka and her partner Kairi Sane cost her the match. Ripley rolled up Asuka for the pin after Asuka accidentally collided with Sane.
Afterward, the situation turned chaotic. Asuka sprayed Ripley with her infamous green mist, and with Sane, launched a vicious beatdown. When IYO SKY tried to even the odds, she too was attacked by her supposed friends. This surprising turn suggested the Kabuki Warriors may be reforming as a destructive force.
