One of the brightest young prospects in all of WWE, NXT’s Rhea Ripley cut a short promo revealing that she will face Fire ‘n’ Desire in a tag team match. Her partner for the night, fellow NXT Superstar Tegan Nox, took out Sonya Deville at ringside, allowing Ripley to quickly make Mandy Rose tap out to her Inverted Shamrock submission move.

#5 Brief Stephanie McMahon appearance

After Triple H and Shawn Michaels took their seats at ringside for the main event between Adam Cole and Daniel Bryan, Stephanie McMahon made a brief appearance to congratulate Lacey Evans and Natalya for their history-making match in Saudi Arabia at Crown Jewel. Needless to say, given the talking point, the WWE Universe did not greet Stephanie with a chorus of boos on this occasion.

#4 Adam Cole pinned Daniel Bryan

Superstars from The Undisputed ERA often win their matches thanks to help from other members from the faction. This time, Roderick Strong appeared during Adam Cole’s entrance but made his way to the back, leaving the NXT Champion to defeat Bryan all on his own after following up Panama Sunrise with a knee to the back of his opponent's head to retain his title.
