Chad Gable retains the Intercontinental Championship
Chad Gable def. Rey Mysterio
Gable successfully defended the Intercontinental Championship against Rey Mysterio in a highly competitive match. Mysterio repeatedly came close to winning, but Gable survived and ultimately scored the pin with a schoolboy/victory-roll combination. The two showed mutual respect afterward.
World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 Contender Tournament
Two tournament quarterfinals took place:
Rey Fenix def. El Fiscal — Fenix advanced with the Mexican Muscle Buster.
Dragon Lee def. El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. — Lee won with Operation Dragon.
The results set up Rey Fenix vs. Dragon Lee in the next stage of the tournament. The eventual winner will earn a shot at Roman Reigns’ World Heavyweight Championship.
Je’Von Evans vs. JD McDonagh

Evans picked up an impressive victory with the OG Cutter. The celebration didn’t last long, as Big Colin Cassady attacked Evans afterward, with Dominik Mysterio also involved in the assault.
Sol Ruca def. Lyra Valkyria
Ruca defeated Valkyria in a fast-paced match, adding momentum to her rise in the women’s division.
Meanwhile, the confrontation between Stephanie Vaquer, Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch intensified. Morgan appeared with Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, while Lynch came to Vaquer’s aid when the numbers game became overwhelming.
Bloodline drama
The night’s biggest storyline centered on Jey Uso delivering Solo Sikoa to Roman Reigns, following Sikoa’s loss to Jey the previous week. WWE had advertised the confrontation as a major moment for Reigns and Sikoa.
The show ultimately ended with Roman Reigns arriving, with the situation involving Solo, Jey, Jacob Fatu and the Usos setting up another potentially explosive chapter in the Bloodline story.
Major development for Sunday Night’s Main Event
Paul Heyman announced Oba Femi vs. Bron Breakker for Sunday Night’s Main Event, adding another major match to WWE’s upcoming schedule.
