Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 16, 2026

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins shows up with an army of masked hooded men in black to start tonight's show. Rollins says that he created The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) and will be the one to kill The Vision, regardless of whether any member is on the shelf of hanging on, saying that anyone standing next to Paul Heyman is marked for death. Rollins says he had the satisfaction of hitting Heyman with a metal folding chair and a curb stomp. All of a sudden, Heyman - now with bruises on his face - shows up. Rollins dares Heyman to come to the ring, hoping that it was all worth it for Heyman and stating that allows him in his inner circle was the greatest mistake he ever made. He hopes to make Heyman pay for his betrayal for the rest of his days. Heyman says he did not want to come out here, then tells Rollins "FAFO" before saying "FAF5." Brock Lesnar shows up, and the masked men in hoodies surround Rollins in the ring. Lesnar removes his hat and leather vest before tearing through the masked men and scaring a few off. He soon overpowers all of them before coming face-to-face with Rollins. The lights go out, and when they come back on, Oba Femi shows up. Rollins stands in the corner as Oba Femi confronts Brock Lesnar in the middle of the ring, but when he tries to stand between them, Lesnar scares him off. Oba then hits Lesnar with the Fall from Grace and places a foot on top of Lesnar's chest before pointing at the WrestleMania sign, accepting Heyman and Lesnar's open challenge for WrestleMania in the process.

El Grande Americano II beats El Grande Americano I after Bravo Americano loads El Grande Americano II's mask as El Grande Americano I attacks Rayo Americano for getting involved in the match before going to the top rope for a headbutt only to hit his head on El Grande Americano II's loaded mask.

Roman Reigns arrives at the arena and meets up with The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso). Roman commends them for beating CM Punk up last week for running his mouth about his family before declaring that Punk belongs to him at WrestleMania.

We hear from Liv Morgan, who tells Finn Balor that getting rid of him has been part of her plan since she joined The Judgment Day and that Finn was on borrowed time. She says she knows Finn Balor and that is has been a pleasure watching him fall from grace. She says that Finn could not hang with The Judgment Day (JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez) and that they took a play from his playbook to get rid of him, then declares that JD McDonagh is free from Finn Balor's control, that Dominik Mysterio will take back the Intercontinental Championship, that Raquel will take down Stephanie Vaquer tonight and that she herself will hold the Women's World Championship.

Backstage, The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) meet with Roman Reigns. They state that CM Punk claims to have something on Roman but really has nothing, and is insulting Roman by calling him a part-timer, but Roman calls being a full-time father for his wife and child "the real flex." Jey says that Punk owes them an apology, but Roman says he does not need one even though The Usos do.

AJ Lee retains the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Bayley by submission with the Black Widow after rolling away from a top rope elbow drop by Bayley.

Backstage, JD McDonagh argues with General Manager Adam Pearce. As Pearce states that "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio is not medically cleared, Penta walks by on his way to the ring.

Penta retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Dragon Lee.

Backstage, Paul Heyman is met by Logan Paul and Austin Theory. Theory says that Seth "Freakin'" Rollins is a dead man and that they will take care of him, but Heyman warns them that they have no power and are out of position, and that they must get back into title contention. He says that if Logan and Theory can beat The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) for the World Tag Team Championships, they can get back into singles title contention. Theory and Logan are more than game and willing to face The Usos.

Nattie beats Maxxine Dupri by submission with the Sharpshooter.

We see fan reactions of Randy Orton's attack on "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes from last week's SmackDown, which is now the most viewed moment in social media for WWE in 2026 with 112 million views.

Michael Cole interviews Randy Orton. Orton is on the phone with someone at the start of the interview, which Orton changes his mind on after having a conversation with someone that made him understand who he is, which caused him to attack "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes. Orton says he is a killer, and says that wrestling has more than one royal family.

Backstage, Dragon Lee is met by Je'Von Evans, but they are soon met by Kofi Kingston. Dragon Lee leaves, and Kofi advises Je'Von that it is all about who one associates with, and mocks Dragon Lee in the process, saying that he is "dragon Je'Von down." Je'Von declines Kofi's offer to join The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Grayson Waller). Grayson Waller shows up after Je'Von leaves, then Danhausen shows up, thinking that Kofi Kingston is replacing Xavier Woods. Kofi is not in the mood for Danhausen's ideas, as is Grayson, and puts Grayson in front of him when Danhausen tries to curse Kofi. Danhausen disappears afterwards.

The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) confront Bayley and Lyra for costing them championship gold, and says that the two of them are not ready for her. Kairi tells Bayley and Lyra "Stay away from us" before Asuka yells at her. Lyra and Bayley soon realize they have their path to WrestleMania.

Backstage, The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) run into LA Knight. LA Knight says that The Vision have all their names in their mouths, then says that Roman Reigns is getting a little too cozy. Jimmy tells Knight it is family business and to mind his business, but Knight says that if The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso) comes back, they will not be on the same page. Knight fistbumps Jimmy, but Jey refuses to reciprocate.

Roman Reigns heads to the ring. Roman calls out CM Punk so they can handle some business, and CM Punk shows up and makes his way to the ring. Punk takes exception to being called "Phil," saying calling Roman "Joe" would be an insult to Samoa Joe, but Roman says that if Punk called Samoa Joe, he would remind him who the real tribal chief is. On the subject of Roman sending his family after him, Punk says all they will do is high five him.On the subject of Roman sending his family after him, Punk says all they will do is high five him. Punk then admits that while The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) took care of family business and had the right message, and that he deserved what he got last week, they had the wrong messenger. Roman is "trite and redundant" and repeats the same thing over and over. He tells Punk not to waste his time until he can come up with a promo that can surprise him, but Punk stops Roman from leaving, saying that this is his show. He says that he is in Roman's head and under Roman's skin, and that he will never point at the WrestleMania sign again. Punk tells Roman that he will hit him with the GTS and split his ego in two at WrestleMania. Roman tells Punk is delusional, saying he cannot faze him even though he is good with the mental game, and that Punk "can't do the walkin'." He says that Punk is nothing to him and is not faster or stronger than him, and says that Punk is not only a tryhard who embarrasses everyone else, he is old. Punk sucker punches Roman, and officials have to get between Punk and Roman. Roman is smiling and laughing as the show fades to black.

In loving memory of Davey Coates, 1962 - 2026. (Davey Coates was a former long-time veteran member of WWE's production team and was instrumental in keeping NXT UK running during the COVID-19 pandemic in more recent years.)

Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 23, 2026

As Michael Cole and Corey Graves talk about the tribute to "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, Gunther comes out of the concourse and the crowd to interrupt the start of tonight's show, and tells them to leave the ring, go back to the announce table and mention how great he is. He says that the fans are losers and that losers like losers Bill Goldberg, John Cena and AJ Styles, all of whom he brags about retiring, and says this should be a celebration of the greatest in-ring wrestler today: himself. Gunther talks over General Manager Adam Pearce as he shows up and says he know this would happen, then shows up with and demands Gunther leave. Gunther says he will leave disgraced about what is happening tonight, then leaves the ring. Gunther then turns around to bring more attention to himself as he is about to head to the back, and he is attacked from behind by Dragon Lee. Dragon Lee is soon held back, and Gunther is forced out of the building. Dragon Lee catches back up to Gunther and attacks him some more, and all of the security guards have to pull Dragon Lee off of Gunther. "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes then shows up, pats Pearce on the shoulder, then heads to the ring. Cody is not able to say much when The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) shows up. Theory takes exception to the mistreatment being afforded The Vision and states that he is ashamed to be from Atlanta, Georgia. Logan then states that Cody is not ashamed to be from Atlanta because, like the fans, he has zero common sense. Logan states that when Bronson Reed qualifies for and wins the Elimination Chamber match, The Vision will take over SmackDown as well, and Cody will be the first one out the door. Logan then announces that Bronson's qualifier starts right now, then Cody says somebody would disagree about Bronson winning at the Elimination Chamber. The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) then show up from out of the crowd for the next match.

"Main Event" Jey Uso beats El Grande Americano I and "Big" Bronson Reed in a men's Elimination Chamber qualifier. During the match, Bronson Reed suffers a distal biceps tear. Later on in the show, it is announced that he will be out indefinitely.

We look back on "The Phenomenal One" AJ Styles' WWE debut in the 2016 Royal Rumble.

CM Punk shows up to the arena with Tyler Reddick, who does donuts in his race car before the two of them leave the vehicle.

Liv Morgan and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio head to the ring. Dominik announces that Liv Morgan is about to make her decision regarding her WrestleMania opponent, and asks both Stephanie Vaquer and Jade Cargill to come to the ring so Liv can make her decision face to face. Vaquer arrives to the ring first, followed by Cargill, and Liv says both of them have been patiently waiting for her decision and that she has decided. She admits that Vaquer's words from last week caught her by surprise and that she has thought about them, and says that Vaquer is right and that she has not realized how selfish and privileged she was with ten years of the best of everything. She admits she still thought she was struggling and that she did not know Vaquer's story, and that Vaquer is the champion she is because she is because of her story. Liv then says she must focus on her own story. Liv then looks at Cargill, then turns around and hits Vaquer with a cheap shot followed by a ground and pound. Liv then hits a lungblower in the corner followed by the Ob-Liv-Ion on Vaquer. She then raises up the Women's World Championship.

Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews Je'Von Evans. Je'Von looks in the distance and notices Offset in the distance. Offset says he is looking forward to the men's Elimination Chamber match, then The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) and Grayson Waller show up. Xavier Woods - whose arm is in a sling - is not happy that he does not have a tribute show tonight and is giving Je'Von his flowers, and Kofi says he has been trying to invite Offset for years. Offset tells The New Day they suck, and Je'Von takes this as The New Day wanting a fight. Kofi tells Je'Von to lace up his boots, because he can never lace up his.

The Good Brothers (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) are seen backstage with "Michin" Mia Yim, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.

JD McDonagh apologizes for Finn Balor for being a hothead, and says he just wants Finn to be a world champion. Finn says brothers fight but always make up, and that he will be a world champion. Dominik blames Finn and McDonagh for losing last week, but Finn says he has been preparing for the biggest match of his career and that he held his own instead of blaming others when no one had his back, and tells Dominik he should do the same.

NASCAR driver Tyler Reddick, rapper 2 Chainz and rapper Lil Yachty are all seen in the front row.

General Manager Adam Pearce asks a backstage worker to transport the giant crate to Chicago, Illinois. Rusev meets with Adam Pearce, but he is soon interrupted by Oba Femi. Rusev wants to fight him, but Pearce tells them to save it for another time and place for "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles' sake.

Brock Lesnar and "The Oracle" Paul Heyman head to the ring. Heyman says he is a wiseman and an oracle, but he is also the advocate for Lesnar. He also reminds everyone that Lesnar broke The Undertaker's undefeated streak, and now the only dead man walking is the one that comes down the aisle to face Lesnar. Heyman then says everyone wants to know who will face Lesnar at WrestleMania, and says he has neither a prediction or a spoiler, for when he and Lesnar walk through the locker room, no one was identified as man enough to take an ass kicking of biblical proportions. Heyman then shows us the appearance that Lesnar will make on the road to WrestleMania, and at any time, if any man is willing to go down in history by taking the absolute worst beating at WrestleMania, all they have to do is walk down the aisle and get in Lesnar's face. Heyman then says that he does not think that is going to happen and that nobody will take that challenge, as while everyone can have all the title matches they want, facing Lesnar and getting their ass kicked is the real main event. Heyman then says that nobody has the balls to face Lesnar at WrestleMania.

We hear from Becky Lynch, who dares AJ Lee to compare resumés with her, stating that AJ Lee held the Divas title once and that she did so much more than even CM Punk and took the business to heights that AJ Lee could not ever reach. She says that she has made the Women's Intercontinental Championship the most talked about title in WWE, and that she wants to retire AJ Lee in front of her fans, friends and family in Chicago, Illinois and make her "the least talented AJ to retire this year." Becky brags about how everyone claims she is the best, and on Saturday, she proves it.

He says one can learn from a win and even more from a defeat, and when he lost to Punk in Belfast, Northern Ireland, he had to change his mindset in order to become a world champion.

Dwight Howard, Jermaine Dupri, Funny Marco and Bow Wow are seen in the front row.

CM Punk heads to the ring. Punk says he is here to celebrate "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and that the fans can go ahead and chant Styles' name, and while he is keeping things quick so that Styles can speak to the fans, he has something to get off his chest. He talks about how risky it is to be a fighting champion and how he is doing the best he can to give the fans the fighting champion that they deserve, and that he does not deal in "what ifs." He asks "What if Roman Reigns was here tonight?" before stating that "what ifs" are not rooted in reality and that Roman is not here tonight. He ponders what would happen if Finn Balor beat him, then says Roman will be here next week. He ponders what would happen if he punched Roman in his face next week, then says he deals in facts, not in "what ifs," and that he will let Finn Balor and Roman Reigns ask "What if?" before stating that he is the champion, the main event of WrestleMania and the best in the world.

Styles states that he is very grateful for this night before talking about where he has wrestled and who he has faced throughout his career, going from TNA to Japan, and says that he has yet to be a full-time father and has missed important times in his family's lives. He considers "his biggest flex" having the best wife in the world and thanks his wife and kids for being here tonight, and admits that while things did not go as expected against Gunther at Royal Rumble, not many people get to go out where they started. On the subject of not leaving his gloves in the ring, he says that he is a man of his word and that his word is all he has before leaving his jacket in the middle of the ring and stating that he wanted to leave his gloves at home. Styles leaves his gloves on top of his jacket, then says he would have been nothing for the fans. He thanks the fans for the love, and states that he loves them right back. The locker room empties to thank Styles from the stage, then The Undertaker's gong sounds and the lights go out. The lights come back on when the headlights of The Undertaker's motorcycle light up, and The Undertaker heads to the ring. The Undertaker looks at Styles' jacket and gloves, then asks "You're just gonna leave your stuff here and leave?" He then says they have unfinished business and asks Styles if he has heard the phrase "If you see me coming, you're already gone." The Undertaker says he has changed that saying a little bit, and says that if Styles sees him coming, that means he is going, and says it is his esteemed honor to announced that Styles is the newest inductee into the 2026 Class of the WWE Hall of Fame. Styles celebrates the news with his family in the ring to end the show.

Gunther says his future looks very bright and will lead him back to the World Heavyweight Championship; therefore, he is declaring for the men's Royal Rumble match. As he reminds everyone how he lasted over one hour in the Royal Rumble, AJ Styles' entrance theme hits, and Styles heads to the ring. Styles knows that Gunther wants to move on, but he does not, and he demands a rematch at Royal Rumble. Gunther says he does not plan on pulling double duty and declines, but Styles accuses Gunther of being a coward as he leaves. Styles admits Gunther's hand may have been raised, but he beat himself when he did not rip his leg off and beat him with it, and tells Gunther that he "tapped out like a little bitch" to the Calf Crusher. He tells Gunther to admit if he is scared so they can both move on, and Gunther says he proved he is the smarter and better wrestler compared to Styles, and states that there is no incentive to wrestle him again. Gunther declines again, but he does not leave the ring when he gets an idea that there is something that Styles can do to get a rematch. Gunther stipulates that Styles must put his career on the line, then tells Styles to think about it and to think if this is a hill worth dying on before demanding his answer by the end of the night, unless Styles is "a little bit scared."

Backstage, Raquel Rodriguez tells the rest of The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Liv Morgan, Roxanne Perez) that Stephanie Vaquer is still not medically cleared, and that when Vaquer does come back and put the Women's World Championship on the line, she will beat her worse than she did last week. Liv says that 2026 will be their year, as Finn and Raquel are about to become world champions while she and Roxanne are going to be Women's Tag Team Champions.

Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley head to the ring. Rhea mentions their Women's Tag Team Championship defense against Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez at Saturday Night's Main Event, then asks when they are going to learn that when it comes to them, "Rhiyo" is always on top. Rhea also announces that once they win and retain at Saturday Night's Main Event, they will be participating in the women's Royal Rumble match. All of a sudden, Liv and Roxanne show up, and Liv says that Rhea and Iyo are more delusional than they thought and that she is taking the women's tag titles back. She also advises Iyo to dump Rhea before she turns on her, stating that Rhea's selfishness will get the better of her and leave her with no one. Roxanne announces that she, Liv and Raquel Rodriguez will all also be entering the women's Royal Rumble match and that one of them will headline WrestleMania.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for December 15, 2025

Gunther heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Along the way, he stands on the announce table in triumph. The crowd chants "You suck!" and "You tapped out!" before Gunther says he did what he said he would do and made John Cena give up, and when he gave up, he tapped out like a little bitch. He then leaves the ring only to re-enter it. Gunther then stands on the second rope in celebration before the fans chant "You suck!" again, then Gunther leaves and turns back around a second time. This time, he celebrates again on the announce table and declares that he made John Cena tap out like a little bitch, and for that, he will be known as the man that made John Cena give up. Gunther then heads to the back for real this time, then the camera follows him. Akira Tozawa and Otis confront him for being happy about what he has done, as does R-Truth, who calls him a piece of trash. General Manager Adam Pearce asks Gunther if he is proud of what he has done, and says that his actions make him an asshole, not "The Ring General." Pearce then tells him to leave after Gunther asks him if he is done, and Gunther promptly leaves. Gunther asks "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles if there is anything he wants to tell him on his way out, then mockingly tells Styles that he cannot see him after he gets in his car.

Backstage, Logan Paul and Bronson Reed talk about what they did to LA Knight last week, then Bron Breakker tells them that CM Punk is here and that they should destroy him.

Bron Breakker wants to take out CM Punk, but Heyman reminds Breakker to wait until January 5th to take him out so he can become World Heavyweight Champion.Logan reminds Breakker that he has Rey Mysterio tonight after Heyman leaves, and that he would appreciate the help.

Je'Von knows enough Spanish to know that El Grande Americano is talking down on NXT. This leads to Je'Von Evans having a match with Rayo Americano next week.

CM Punk heads to the ring. Punk says that he was forced to miss the last two weeks because he could not get medically cleared and that he had to listen to Bron Breakker talk. He calls Breaker "a cross-eyed Neanderthal nepo baby" and says that brains do not run in Breakker's family. He also mentions Breakker mentioning that it was too easy to beat him, then says that Breakker cannot beat him without help from his friends. He says that Breakker may have pinned him for a World title shot, but he did not do it on his own. CM Punk says he has been there before and that Heyman has taken plenty of people with a little bit of talent and gassed them up. He also tells Breakker that if he mentions AJ Lee again, it will go from business to personal. Punk says he would tell Breakker to come to their World Heavyweight Championship match alone, but he will not, not because he does not have the guts, but because he does not have the heart. He tells Breakker to bring all the help he can, including his father and uncle, as he has no chance of beating him for the World Heavyweight Championship.Punk says that when Breakker finds out that Heyman has left him for the next big thing and that his masked mystery man never showed up, all he will have left is his father and uncle, and that even in Steiner Math, "GTS = 1, 2, 3."

Backstage, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio hopes that Logan Paul puts an end to his deadbeat bad, then mentions that Finn Balor is with JD McDonagh and that McDonagh will be on the shelf for a while.

Lyra is smiling as Bayley walks away.

Logan Paul beats Rey Mysterio. During the match, Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed head to the ring, but CM Punk is close behind them, and he hits them both with a metal folding chair and sends them running back to the back. "The Oracle" Paul Heyman hands the brass knuckles to Logan, but Rey trips Logan into the ropes and hits the 619, knocking the brass knuckles out of Logan's hand in the process. As Rey goes for the brass knuckles, he is suddenly curbed stomped by the masked man clad in black. Logan Paul then hits Rey with a splash from the top rope to win. After the match, the masked man gets on the apron, and he and Logan Paul look at each other before the masked man flees through the crowd, unmasks, and reveals himself to be Austin Theory. CM Punk turns around and is hit by a Spear from Bron Breakker. Breakker tells Punk that if he mentions his family again, he will never stand on two feet ever again.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 20, 2025

General Manager Adam Pearce is in the ring to start tonight's show. Before he can provide an update concerning last week, a black GMC Denali drives in, and out comes The Vision (Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, "The Oracle" Paul Heyman). Bron Breakker is holding the World Heavyweight Championship. The Vision make their way to the ring, and Pearce chews them out for what they did to Seth "Freakin'" Rollins at the end of last week's show, and states that Rollins has undertaken major surgery and will be on the shelf for some time. Pearce strips Seth "Freakin'" Rollins of the World Heavyweight Championship, then announces that a new World Heavyweight Champion will be crowned at Saturday Night's Main Event. He announces that there will be an over-the-top-rope battle royal with the winner facing CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event, and that the battle royal will happen tonight. Pearce then demands Breakker hand over the World Heavyweight Championship, but Breakker asks "What happens if I don't?" before demanding respect from Pearce after having a word with Heyman. Pearce respectfully requests Breakker to hand over the title, but Breakker demands Pearce say "Please." Pearce asks Breakker to hand it over again, this time not so nicely while still saying "Please." Breakker hands the title over to Heyman, who glances at the World Heavyweight Championship before handing it to Pearce. Pearce then leaves with the World Heavyweight title. Heyman then asks why everyone is mad at The Vision and asks what they did to deserve it, saying he did what he did at WrestleMania because he believes that Bron Breakker is the future and that Bronson is better than Roman Reigns. He says that Bronson proved that at Crown Jewel, then mentions Seth pointing to the sign and says he could not shoulder the responsibility of leading The Vision into the future, calling him "a bum shoulder bitch." Heyman states that winners write history and that Bronson and Breakker are winners, and states that while he is a kind and gentle oracle, Bronson and Breakker pulled the trigger to become WrestleMania main eventers. He calls this not a rewrite of history, but a revision of the future, then thanks the fans for their time before welcoming them to the show.

"Dirty" Dominik Mysterio retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Rusev. During the match, Penta stops Dominik from escaping. Rusev sends Dominik into Penta, and that allows Dominik to put the ring bell hammer in one of his boots. Rusev is able to avoid the 619 and find the hammer in his boot, but the ref takes the hammer away as Rusev tries to attack Dominik with it. This allows Dominik to kick Rusev in the groin before hitting the top rope frog slash to win and retain.

He tells Becky that Breakker and Bronson conspired against Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and that he had to put himself between them. He also tells her that he put himself in harm's way, then tells Becky that The Vision (Breakker, Bronson, Heyman) still has a spot for her. Becky grabs Heyman by the tie and tells him that she is not buying this, and warns Heyman that Seth saw this coming. She then warns him that Seth is going to go after anyone he attaches himself to and make Heyman wish he was going after him.

Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 6, 2025

Roman Reigns heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Before he can say much of anything, however, "Big" Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman show up. Heyman says that he does not know who has been advising him regarding public speaking since he broke his heart, then introduces Bronson Reed as "your tribal thief." He says that Roman has never been beaten so badly that he had to be carried out on a stretcher and taken to the hospital in an ambulance, then Bronson demands the microphone. Bronson says that Roman's father Sika was never stretchered out, and neither was his uncle, yet Roman was stretchered out by his own hands. Roman says Heyman knows his family, not Bronson, and that his father would say "Fight him now." He then declares "Let's do this...now!" Heyman stops Bronson, telling him that Roman is on his time. Roman can tell what Heyman is saying to Bronson immediately, then says he is levels above Roman and that it will be his time no matter what. Heyman then says that this match will happen at Crown Jewel, and that it will be an Australian Street Fight. Roman accepts the challenge. Heyman says "Good night, everybody!" Roman says Bronson and Heyman walked in like tough guys only to walk out like bitches, and Bronson gets in the ring with Roman and the two men brawl.

Kairi reneges, and Asuka says "You'd better win."

Backstage, Roman Reigns meets with The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso). Jimmy is offended by Bronson Reed's comments, and Jey says he has Roman's back. Roman says he does not need help and that Jey should be focused on his own business, as CM Punk is talking at the top of the hour and not Jey. Jey leaves, then Roman tells Jimmy that he sees and hears everything, and wants to know what the problem is with Jey taking advice from him before walking off.

Backstage, Lyra Valkyria is met by Bayley, who wants to be in Lyra's corner. Lyra asks Bayley how she is feeling, then says Raquel Rodriguez will be out there and that she needs all the help she can get.

Punk thanks the fans for their warm welcome back to WWE for AJ Lee, then mentions the Men's Crown Jewel Championship match and his promise to keep his nose out of "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes' business despite his history with Seth "Freakin'" Rollins. He says he started the year beating Rollins on Netflix and that he will do it again to end the year, and says he will get the World Heavyweight Championship back as he has Rollins' number. All of a sudden, LA Knight shows up, and he says that he has yet to win the World Heavyweight Championship, and while he thanks him for being a good husband, he calls him "a trash champion" for losing the title to Rollins and losing to Rollins again and again. Knight then brags that Rollins has never pinned him, with Punk reminding him that he has never been champion as he does, and Knight calls Punk a "two-time loser" while he is a "two-time winner" against Rollins, especially with Punk giving him one of those wins. As Knight states that he will be World Heavyweight Champion, "Main Event" Jey Uso shows up and says his mind is clear and that he never got his title rematch and that he is the one who is up next. Knight says Jey had the title, but he lost it, and his time came and went. He then says it is his time and not Jey's or Punk's, and says Jey will never be Roman and should be focusing on the tag titles. Jimmy shows up, and as Knight addresses him as well as Jey, Jey superkicks Knight, then Punk says that if Jey wants the title, he will have to get in line behind him. He then says Jey should focus on being part of a tag team, as he likes Jey but hates "Lil' Roman." Jimmy has to hold Jey back, and that gives Punk the means to knock Jey out. When Punk turns around, Jimmy superkicks him.

We hear from Iyo Sky, who says that what happened between herself and Asuka is Asuka's fault, not Rhea Ripley's. She admits she owes so much to Asuka, who she viewed like a big sister, but says Asuka's jealousy and disrespect changed everything. She says that Asuka was a reason she became champion, but not the only reason, then says Rhea is right and that Asuka wants only what is best for herself.

Rollins then tells Paul Heyman that they should talk and says that he must win this Saturday. He then asks "What if I don't?" Heyman says that if Rollins loses, he loses the locker room and he loses the faith of The Vision, and he will throw away everything they have worked for and become a "de facto secondary champion." Rollins then mentions that Heyman left himself out of the equation, and demands a straight answer. Heyman says he will eventually have to ask himself why he picked Rollins over Roman Reigns.

"Main Event" Jey Uso is talking with Roman Reigns when Jimmy Uso shows up, and Jey asks Jimmy about why he was out there. Jey thinks Jimmy is protecting CM Punk and tells him to figure out whose side he is on. Jey leaves, then Jimmy tells Roman that he and Jey are nothing like him.

He says that Rollins is following in his footsteps and pretending to be him and pretending to be injured, then tells Rollins that he will take his title back and that Rollins will be injured for real after he breaks his legs. Suddenly, LA Knight heads to the ring. Knight says that Punk was robbed and that he deserves to have his rematch beyond a shadow of a doubt, yet Punk got involved in his match last week and got him disqualified, costing him a title shot. He says that Punk was at the right place at the wrong time, and while he does want to have any problems with Punk and he wants Punk to whip Rollins' ass, he wants him to wait until after the bell rings. After Knight says Punk will get his rematch after he gets his, Punk reminds him that he saved his life and career from Rollins and that he has yet to claim he has been a world champion, and tells him to go to the back of the line. Knight says there is levels to this, and while Punk is best in the world, he is not on his level. Knight then does Punk two favors: forget last week happened as long as Punk does not do it again and beat Seth Rollins and become champion. then make Punk his first title defense. As Punk responds, Paul Heyman, "Big" Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker shows up, and Heyman briefly speaks French and makes fun of the language before telling LA Knight not to get into "the favor business" with CM Punk. Heyman tells Knight that doing so will cost him everything in his life and career, then Punk tells Heyman to stop being a crybaby and says somebody is getting punched in the face tonight, and he does not care if it is him, Breakker or Bronson. This gives Heyman an idea, and proposes CM Punk and LA Knight vs. Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed for tonight. Punk is up for the challenge, as is Knight. Breakker almost runs down the ramp, but Bronson hold him down as Breakker makes fun of Punk and Knight for being over 40.
