  2. Kofi Kingston (C) vs. Randy Orton (WWE Championship)
  3. Becky Lynch (C) vs. Natalya (Submission Match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship)
  4. Bayley (C) vs. Ember Moon (WWE SmackDown Women's Championship)
  5. AJ Styles (C) vs. Ricochet (WWE United States Championship)
  6. Drew Gulak (C) vs. Oney Lorcan (WWE Cruiserweight Championship)
  7. Kevin Owens vs. Shane McMahon (If KO loses, he leaves WWE)
  8. Charlotte Flair vs. Trish Stratus
  9. Finn Balor vs. Bray Wyatt

The tag team and Intercontinental titles are not expected to be defended on the show but knowing WWE, one of those matches can be added to the kickoff show on the day of the PPV.
