During the main event between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns, WWE legends John Cena and The Undertaker dealt with The Bloodline. Cena took care of Solo Sikoa, who beat the 16-time WWE World Champion at Crown Jewel 2023. Meanwhile, The Undertaker chokeslammed The Rock. Interferences from Seth Rollins, Jimmy Uso, and Jey Uso also occurred during the match.
With The American Nightmare winning the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, Reigns is expected to take time off from the company. However, it will be interesting to see what plans WWE has in store for the now-former champion and the newly crowned champion.
