The locker room lines the ring (with "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio watching from the back) as Jesus Zuniga. Filip CEO Barbara Gonzalez Briseno; luchadors Chessman, Texano Jr. and Cibernetico; AAA President Marisela Pena and Dorian Roldan are in the ring. After a video where it is explained that AAA has entered a new era and that the future of AAA starts now, AAA President Marisela Pena takes the podium. She says that for more than 30 years, AAA has been family-run, and today is a new chapter for the future of the company. She says that the new General Manager is a visionary and a leader who understands the heart of wrestling, as well as a man who has been respected all over the year and defines a generation. She says that he will take AAA to a new era, and that it is an honor to announce the new General Manager of Lucha Libre AAA, who turns out to be Rey Mysterio. Dorian Roldan is flustered, and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio - who is still watching from the back - is absolutely livid. Rey Mysterio talks about how he found a new family over 30 years in AAA and how he is now returning as a General Manager. He says that together, he and the fans will make history and take the company to another level, then gets the next match underway: Rey Fenix vs. Laredo Kid for the AAA Cruiserweight Championship. (Savio Vega replaces Rey Mysterio on commentary from this point forward.)

Los Americanos Hermanos (Julio and Bruto Credo) vs. Los Americanos (Rayo Americano and Bravo Americano) in a tornado tag match ends in a no-contest. During the match, El Grande Americano I shows up and attacks Los Americanos, then El Grande Americano II shows up and attacks Los Americanos Hermanos with a metal folding chair until El Grande Americano I confronts him. El Grande Americano I leaves the ring when El Grande Americano II dares him to punch him, and El Grande Americano II says that El Grande Americano I wants to be the real El Grande Americano, even though he will never understand lucha libre, and for that, he is and will always be "a shorty." This leads to another confrontation between the two El Grande Americanos, and El Grande Americano I gets back in the ring, takes off his jacket and reveals a shirt with Andrea Bazarte, who is not only an interviewer in AAA, but also El Grande Americano II's girlfriend. Los Americanos Hermanos and Los Americanos have to hold their respective man back, but it all ends in vain when both men finally brawl. Numerous officials have to rush into the ring and restore order, and General Manager Rey Mysterio shows up and states that despite the no-physicality clause being broken, next week's mask vs. mask match will go as planned. Both El Grande Americanos brawl, with the locker room emptying to help out officials as the show comes to an end.
The show ends with a video package chronicling the story between El Grande Americano I and El Grande Americano II and the events leading up to next week's mask vs. mask match.
Roman Reigns arrives at the arena and is met by General Manager Adam Pearce, who says that none of this would have happened if Roman listened to him. Roman says that does not matter now, as he needs a few minutes with Jacob Fatu. All of a sudden, Jacob Fatu heads to the ring. Jacob says that if Roman is going to call him out, then Roman can come to the ring so he can dog walk him. The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) show up, and Jey is holding a metal folding chair on the way to the ring. Jimmy says that Jacob is taking the hardest path to feeding his family and that he is about to be fired for it. Jey rushes at Jacob, but gets laid out. When Jimmy tries to save Jey, Jacob puts him in the Tongan Death Grip. Jey hits Jacob in the back with the chair, but it has no effect, and he also gets the Tongan Death Grip. Roman shows up with a chair of his own, and Jacob is ready to lock in the Tongan Death Grip. Both men exchange blows, and when Roman goes for a Superman Punch, Jacob locks it in only to eat two Superkicks and a Spear from Jey and a top rope splash from Jimmy. The Usos then put Jacob down with the 1D before tying him up in the ropes, and Roman hits Jacob with two Superman Punches while The Usos hit Jacob with two double superkicks. Roman then hits a Spear on Jacob with help from The Usos, then Roman and The Usos run into General Manager Adam Pearce. Roman tells Pearce to fire Jacob, but Jacob says "Tribal Combat." Roman says "I accept."
We see a video package of the events leading up to JD McDonagh vs. Finn Balor in a street fight tonight.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Seth "Freakin'" Rollins. Rollins says that he is a marked man with "absolutely zero allies," and sooner or later, he has to put an end to The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Austin Theory). He says he has been spinning his wheels figuring out how to do it, and says the easiest way to get through a problem is to run right through it. Rollins then realizes he has not had a match on Raw in nine months, and that this should change tonight. He says that General Manager Adam Pearce has given him the main event, and he will use it to throw a challenge to The Vision, especially Bron Breakker, as he cannot tell if he is a "nepo baby," "a wad of wasted potential," or everything Breakker says he is. Rollins then challenges Breakker to prove he is everything he says he is.
Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews Sol Ruca. Sol Ruca says she is stoked to wrestle some of the best, and while she has not won a match on Raw yet, she has put the locker room on notice. Becky Lynch shows up and says that Sol Ruca has yet to face her and has bitten off more than she can chew and that she should go. Sol Ruca says he will do just that, then heads to the ring. Sol Ruca cuts to the chase and calls out Becky Lynch, and Becky Lynch shows up wanting to know what kind of stunt Sol Ruca is pulling. Sol Ruca says she has worked too hard to give up and has been good at proving people wrong. She then challenges Becky to a match, which Becky refuses before bragging about how good she is and how she is a mentor for the youth of today and mocking her recent opponents. Becky then tells Sol Ruca that if she really is ready, then she can face her at Saturday Night's Main Event, then reminds her she is a star breaker, not a star maker. Sol Ruca says she will snatch Becky's soul and snatch her title. Becky says that nobody said anything about the title, and that Sol Ruca is not ready for her.
Backstage, Bron Breakker meets with the rest of The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) and wants Paul Heyman to make the match with Seth "Freakin'" Rollins tonight. Heyman makes the match, but with Austin Theory, then Breakker wants to speak with Heyman alone. Heyman tells Breakker that since he now knows where Rollins will be and that Rollins will have his hands full, he will want to run the play he has in mind.

We see a video package chronicling the history of Tribal Combat in WWE.
Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso). Jey says that Tribal Combat is sacred combat between two families and that anything can happen, then LA Knight shows up. Jimmy says "Not now," but Knight says that The Usos are now no better than The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) and that he will handle things alone if he has to. Jimmy says "Not now," then he and Jey walk away.
We see Michael Cole's interview with "All Ego" Ethan Page, who supplies the questions for Michael Cole. Ethan says he was born to be champion while people like Penta have to work very hard to be as successful as him. Michael Cole then asks Ethan Page why he is like this, as while he has the potential to be great, he also has ego, and says that ego will cost him. Ethan says his ego is really confidence and that he will prove that he is better than the rest of WWE. He then says he will be the first person to put "fear" in Penta's vocabulary before leaving with the Intercontinental Championship - which he wants to name after himself if he wins it - after Saturday Night's Main Event.
Paige and Brie Bella retain the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships against The Judgment Day (Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez) after Liv Morgan gets herself ejected so that Roxanne can use one of the tag team titles as a weapon only for the plan to backfire whe Brie ducks and pins Roxanne with a schoolkid pin. After the match, Liv and The Judgment Day go on the attack, but Bayley and Lyra Valkyria make the save.
Backstage, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins is met by LA Knight. Rollins thinks Knight wants a fight, but Knight tells Rollins that he knows what is going to happen. Knight admits he is no friend of Rollins', but knows that Rollins will need help before telling him to enjoy getting stomped out as he leaves.
We hear from Penta, who tells "All Ego" Ethan Page that he fights for his people, not for ego, and that his title represents those who do not give up. He tells Ethan to get ready for Saturday Night's Main Event.
When Oba Femi heads to the ring for his open challenge, he is suddenly attacked with multiple F-5's by Brock Lesnar.
Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce wants Paul Heyman in his office. When he enters his office, Heyman is already there, knowing that Pearce is looking for him. Heyman produces a contract for Clash in Italy with Brock Lesnar's signature on it, and says that if Oba Femi signs it, Pearce will have the biggest rematch in history.
Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford). Dawkins says there is a reason The Vision (Logan Paul and Austin Theory) are tough and have the World Tag Team titles, but Montez says The Street Profits have a vision of becoming the new World Tag Team Champions at Saturday Night's Main Event. Suddenly, Dawkins notices Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, and Montez makes the decision not to get involved. Dawkins tells Rollins that they do not need to be friends, but Rollins says he gets it and thanks Dawkins for understanding. He then says he has a match right now.
Seth "Freakin'" Rollins beats Austin Theory with the Pedigree when Theory's use of Logan Paul's brass knuckles backfires and Rollins is able to hit the Pedigree when Theory cannot pin him. After the match, Logan Paul attacks Rollins, then Angelo Dawkins shows up and fights Logan. The numbers game takes over, but Montez Ford runs out while shaking his head and evens it up. As Montez Ford tells Angelo Dawkins that helping Rollins is not worth it, they are soon taken out by Bron Breakker. Rollins gets in the ring and rakes Breakker's eyes only for Logan to grab at Rollins, allowing Breakker to hit the Spear on Rollins. Officials show up and stop The Vision before Breakker can smash Rollins with the ring steps, but Breakker gets around them and attacks Rollins again.
