Toni Storm defended her interim Women's World Championship in a fatal four-way match against Athena, Britt Baker, and Serena Deeb. While she was able to retain her title, Baker attacked her post-match. Serena also joined in by assaulting Athena, as Jamie Hayter ran into the ring too.
Storm and Athena were saved from the beatdown by Paige as she appeared on the ramp to thunderous applause. Everyone immediately cleared the ring as the former WWE star hugged Athena and Toni Storm.
Post-show, Saraya took to Twitter to post her first message after signing with AEW.
"👀hi," Saraya tweeted.

Shubhajit is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda, reporting on WWE news. He has a Master's degree in English and has been working in his current role for over 2 years.
A fan of pro wrestling since childhood, Shubhajit decided to start creating content on the sport out of passion. Before covering a piece of news or rumor, he conducts thorough research, ensuring information in his work is reliable and completely accurate.
Although Shubhajit admires numerous pro wrestlers, his current favorite is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. He is fond of The Scottish Warrior’s character work and innovative quips.
If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
Apart from reporting on pro wrestling, Shubhajit enjoys competitive gaming and reading.
