Opening segment with Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins played to the crowd, who chanted for CM Punk and Roman Reigns, and claimed that they existed because of him. He also berated his former ally, Cody Rhodes, and addressed his current nemesis, LA Knight. In the end, he pointed to his Money in the Bank briefcase and claimed that all of those stars are running a race for second place.

Bron Breakker vs Penta

This was the opening match of Monday Night RAW this week. Bron Breakker's raw power went up against the high-flying moves of Penta, who delivered an exceptional effort against him.

The match ended when Penta attempted a springboard, only to be caught in a mid-air spear and pinned by Breakker.

Goldberg's interview with Michael Cole

Goldberg sat down with Michael Cole to talk about his retirement match against Gunther at the upcoming WWE Saturday Night's Main Event. He claimed that Gunther showed him major disrespect at the 2024 Bad Blood in front of his family and vowed to beat him up.

Jade Cargill vs. Roxanne Perez

The match was the semi-finals in the Queen of the Ring tournament.

Jade Cargill and Roxanne Perez delivered an excellent match with high stakes involved. In the end, Cargill avoided a Pop Rox and hit a Powerbomb, followed by a Jaded to score the pinfall and advance to the finals to face Asuka at Night of Champions.

Gunther's segment

After hearing Goldberg's comments, World Heavyweight Champion Gunther came down to the ring to address it. He claimed himself to be the most dangerous man today in 2025, much like Goldberg was in 1999.

The Ring General apologized to Goldberg's son and wife for what he was about to do to him at WWE SNME and vowed to end the myth of Goldberg.

Becky Lynch vs. Bayley

Becky Lynch defended her WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Bayley after months of a feud that resumed after Bayley came back. Two of the Four Horsewomen fought tooth and nail against each other as the workhorse title was on the line. As The Role Model was about to hit the flying elbow, Lyra Valkyria appeared and started beating up Lynch, causing a disqualification.

Cody Rhodes vs. “Main Event” Jey Uso

This was the main event showdown that pitted close friends, Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes, against each other in the semi-finals of the King of the Ring tournament.
