Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 27, 2026

General Manager Adam Pearce and WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque are in the ring to start tonight's show as the Cell comes down. Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar (with Paul Heyman) are escorted to the ring for the official weigh-in for their match. Oba comes out first, followed by Lesnar and Heyman. Oba steps on the scale for his weigh-in first, and weighs in at 302 lbs. Lesnar and Heyman then arrive and make their way to the Cell for Lesnar's weigh-in. When Lesnar's police escort enters the Cell, however, Lesnar locks the Cell door, trapping Oba Femi in the Cell. Heyman announces there is a slight change of plans, as allowing Lesnar in the Cell is not a very good idea. Heyman calls Brock Lensar the most non-PG, most successful and most violent individual in the history of combat sports before telling Oba Femi that he is an underdog going into his Hell in a Cell match with Lesnar. Heyman says that Oba Femi will not beat Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell, then says that Lesnar stepped on a scale backstage and weighed in at 303 lbs. Lesnar then lays the key to the Cell on the floor to taunt Oba Femi, then tells Oba "I'll see you at SummerSlam, bitch!" As Lesnar and Heyman leave, Oba Femi takes his anger out on all of the police officers in the ring and attacks them. (Some of the police officers escoring Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar are played by indepedent wrestlers Lucas Riley, Dom Kubrick and Mathias.)

After the match, The Vision continue to attack Tozawa, but Otis makes the save and stops Breakker from hitting another Spear. Maxxine distracts Otis as Otis goes up top, and Breakker and Theory powerbomb Otis out of the corner for a Bron Breakker Spear. On the way out, Theory grabs a metal folding chair and smacks Otis' head against the ring post with it.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews LA Knight. Knight says he is paranoid, as everything he has said would happen has happened, and at SummerSlam, he will be doing some fighting and putting The Bloodline (Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu) in a hole.

We hear from Raquel Rodriguez and Sol Ruca. Raquel says that Sol Ruca will not get lucky again and will not let the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship slip through her fingers.

We hear from Iyo Sky, who says that she has been in Liv Morgan's head since Queen of the Ring and that Liv is not as strong as she thinks she is.

WBC Welterweight Champion Ryan Garcia jumps the line and joins the ringside dancers before playing guitar in the ring. When Joe Hendry turns his back after noticing Garcia, Garcia hits Hendry from behind with the guitar before JD McDonagh and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio show up and lay out Danhausen.

We hear from Penta. He says that he is glad Chad Gable changed, but forgiveness does not erase the past and winning the International Championship will not earn him redemption.

We see another vignette for Big Cass, who will return to WWE next week.

"All Ego" Ethan Page beats Rey Mysterio after blocking the 619 with the ring skirt.

We hear from Liv Morgan, who says that Iyo Sky does not understand who she is facing at SummerSlam. Liv says that everyone overlooked and underestimated her on her way to the top, and that she will do whatever it takes to stay there. She says she does not care about what people think; only the Women's World Championship, which means she has to care about Iyo. She says that Iyo is not in her head and that she is stronger than Iyo thinks she is.

Backstage, it is revealed that Danhausen and the Minihausens have been laid out in Danhausen's laboratory. General Manager Adam Pearce shows up and tells Danhausen to give the money back to "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh, and Danhausen tells Pearce to put it on a pole for a match. Pearce makes a Human Monies on a Pole Match official for SummerSlam.

The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) head to the ring. Jey Uso warns LA Knight, Royce Keys and Solo Sikoa with a warning shot, then Solo Sikoa shows up out of the crowd and mocks them, saying The Usos started this by running back to Roman Reigns and that "the real Bloodline" had him in it. After Solo says that The Usos have no chance at SummerSlam, Jimmy says that Solo is just playing games before telling him to "run the play or else." Solo asks why he would come back to the family when he and everyone else loves where he is at, and tells The Usos that Roman Reigns can kiss his ass, then LA Knight shows up. LA Knight says his heart does not feel for The Usos' family drama and hopes that maybe they could patch it up before they pay penances for what they did to him and Royce Keys. He says that the talking is done, and he will see them at SummerSlam. Knight turns to leave, then turns around, takes off his jacket, and says he could walk down the aisle so that he and Solo Sikoa can stomp The Usos right now. Solo soon joins Knight in the ring, starting a tag team brawl that only escalates when Jacob Fatu shows up. Royce Keys soon arrives to even the numbers game, then brawls with Jacob Fatu. Jacob soon locks the Tongan Death Grip on Royce Keys before Solo breaks the hold and hits Jacob with the Samoan Spike. Knight hits Jacob with the BFT, and he, Solo and Royce stand tall in the ring.

We see "Chapter VIII: The Grandest Stage," which chronicles Seth "Freakin'" Rollins' World Heavyweight Championship win at WrestleMania 41.

Roman Reigns heads to the ring. Before the fans can acknowledge Reigns, however, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins shows up and heads to the ring. Rollins demands that the fans acknowledge him, and Reigns calls him an asshole. Rollins says that this is how he gets his, as some other people get things handed to them while people like him have to grind to survive. He admits that Reigns is everything he says he is and everything WWE wanted him to be, and while Reigns has an edge over him in so many departments, he will never be better than him at professional wrestling. Rollins says that when it comes to what goes on in the ring, he owns Reigns, and when it comes to what goes on inside Reigns' head, he owns Reigns there, too. He says that Reigns can call him an asshole, but he cannot call him a liar, and SummerSlam will not be any different. He says that Reigns can need to beat him all he wants, but he will not stand a chance. Reigns states that he is "the only true Superstar" and "the only true champion" around here, and that he meant it when he said that he needed to beat Rollins, and says that the whole industry needs him to beat Rollins. Rollins says it is funny what they need and that Reigns needs this so badly, then addresses Reigns needing his family to be there to see Reigns beat him as well as how he cashed in on him at WrestleMania 31 and sent him and his family home in tears. He then hopes that Reigns' family is there on Sunday so he can see them cry again after finding out that their father is a fraud, a loser and "forever Seth Rollins' bitch." Reigns punches Rollins in the face and attacks him. Reigns soon hits Rollins with the Superman Punch followed by the Spear, then grabs a metal folding chair and tries to hit Rollins with it only for Rollins to recover and hit Reigns with The Stomp.

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

Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 6, 2026

Backstage, Sami Zayn arrives for tonight's show and meets with "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes. Sami says that Cody thinks he will beat him, then tells him that this is not happening and that he is walking out of the ring as champion. Cody tells Sami that he will be the one that wins, and when Sami says "We'll see about that" and leaves, Cody is suddenly attacked by Gunther. Gunther then tells Sami that he, not Cody, is his problem now and that his championship victory is a fluke. He then says that he will come after him, then boots Cody into Sami's car and bloodies him up to show Sami what will happen when he does.

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Rollins welcomes everyone to tonight's show in Chicago, Illinois, then everyone starts chanting for CM Punk. Rollins tells everyone that he could care less about Punk right now. Rollins states that his business is beating Roman Reigns and getting back the World Heavyweight Championship that he never lost at SummerSlam. He then says that Roman is not here either because he felt it not important to be here or "the check wasn't big enough." He says that Reigns has been "the chosen one" from day one and that nobody wants to hold him responsible. He goes on to say that The Shield debuted as a trio, yet it was clear that Reigns would be the chosen one. Rollins says that it did not matter how good Reigns was at anything, from cutting a promo to wrestling his way out of a paper bag, he would be the star. He says that did not sit well with him, and says that since he was a boy like the kids in the front row, he wanted to be a star. He says that did not sit well with him, and says that since he was a boy like the kids in the front row, he wanted to be a star. Rollins says that seeing his dream to be a star handed to someone else broke something in him. Rollins says he broke up The Shield so he could catch up to and stay close to Roman Reigns, and while he admits it was petty, he believed that if he worked hard and believed in himself, he could still achieve those dreams. He felt that he and Reigns were running the same race, but now he knows he is mistaken. Rollins then mentions Reigns admitting that he worked ten times less than him and made ten times more than him with such bravado it made him want to puke. Rollins says it was not about the money or the mansion, but the work, the hustle, the grind and the ability to make something of himself. He says that Reigns has to beat him at SummerSlam because he needs to justify what he has been trying to prove to himself for the last fifteen years: that he is not a fraud. Rollins then says that he has to beat Reigns just as much to prove to his younger self that through hard work, sacrifice and dreams, one can achieve greatness. Suddenly, Rollins is interrupted by LA Knight. LA Knight makes his way to the ring, and Knight says that there is no way that he is going to listen to this again after boring everyone to sleep with Reigns two weeks ago, then says that Reigns and Rollins bloviate each other and talk about their greatness. He says that this somehow got Rollins a title shot, even though he lost in the first round of the King of the Ring Tournament just like he did, and says that the difference between himself and Rollins is that he is not making a claim for nostalgia's sake. Knight says that Rollins has had so many world title shots that he will not be able to catch him, then states that while business was picking up, he was the one on top. He says that while he made his climb, The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa, Sami Zayn) and The Vision (Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) both cut him off. He says that Rollins and Reigns are trying to push him back down to the bottom, but they cannot do it, and says that while they are great at keeping people down, he will rise because he must. Rollins asks Knight if he is done, then tells Knight that while he does not like him, he does respect him, as he is a shining example of everything that he just described - hard work, grind, and hustle - and believes his time will come. He then says he cannot worry about Knight, for he must take back the title he never lost, and if Knight wants it, he can be the first person he puts in the dirt. As Rollins leaves, Jimmy Uso gets in the ring and superkicks Knight for talking about his family the moment that Knight turns around.

Backstage, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce kicks Gunther out of the building, and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis also shows up. This leads to both men arguing, and Aldis blaming Pearce for Cody Rhodes potentially being injured.

He says that Oba Femi has inspired, compelled and motivated Brock Lesnar to become "The Beast" and made the biggest mistake of his life by accepting Lesnar's challenge, then says Oba will not come out of Hell in a Cell when Lesnar destroys him. As Heyman leaves, Oba Femi makes his entrance so he can give Heyman a face to talk to. Heyman says he is valuable because he prevents people from making bad mistakes, and says Oba made a bad mistake. Heyman reminds Oba of who he is stepping into Hell in a Cell with Brock Lesnar by mentioning Lesnar's Hell in a Cell accomplishments, then tells Oba that he has entered "The Brocktagon," where he says Lesnar is unbeatable. He says that only one man will leave Hell in a Cell with their reputation intact as the truly unbeatable Superstar in WWE, and that the one man will be Brock Lesnar. Oba mentions that Lesnar showing up last week proved that everything he said about Lesnar got under Lesnar's skin and that Lesnar watches the show, then mentions that Heyman talks about how great Lesnar is and says that he is just "a mouth" for Lesnar. He says that mouths need to be fed, but one cannot be fed if one has no head, and says Heyman is only here because he is scared and because of damage control. Oba says that a man knows when his time has come, and that this is the end for Heyman and Lesnar. Oba says he will beat Lesnar in front of his family and his children, then says one must walk through Hell to get to Heaven and tells Heyman to tell Lesnar that he will see him in Hell.

She says that she, Cody and Orton are all multi-generational members of WWE history and that they understand the business better than most, and while Cody stayed on a golden path and has brought the best out of his business, he will not be able to do it with Orton. She says that this version of Orton is diabolical and that Cody will have to be able to think like Orton, and that Cody's father Dusty Rhodes knew better than anyone else and could get down and dirty with the best of them. She also says that Cody is not his father. Stephanie says that "this version of Cody Rhodes cannot beat this version of Randy Orton" and that Cody does not know how he is dealing with. Cody says he knows everything about Randy Orton and how Orton was the coal that became the diamond, the youngest world champion in WWE at one point, legend killer by merit, and at one point so violent that some of his own past actions cannot be shown today. Cody says that some of those actions happened to Stephanie and that he was there on the road with Orton to make sure he was still breathing after the matches he had been through. Stephanie slaps Cody in the face and says she is out here because she cares about him and that nobody is giving him guidance, and that this version of Orton is not only listening to the voices in his head, but also relishing them while listening to someone else. She then says that if Cody does not figure it out, WrestleMania will be the last time Cody is introduced as Undisputed WWE Champion. Cody stops Stephanie as she leaves, then thanks her and leaves himself.

Heyman then notes that Lesnar is now dressed to fight, as Lesnar has authorized him to let everyone know that he has seen this for 25 years in WWE and UFC, and that when Lesnar beats someone up, they end up pissing all over themselves.

He credits Dominik with turning his family against him, but reminds Dominik that he turned to him when he turned against his father Rey Mysterio and that he stepped up for him. He says that Dominik lost the Intercontinental Championship not because of his actions, but because he is a self-centered jackass.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 9, 2026

General Manager Adam Pearce is in the ring to start tonight's show. He says it is time to have a conversation with someone who has made themselves well-known tonight, and demands that Seth "Freakin'" Rollins come to the ring. A masked man in a black hoodie shows up, and he is soon joined by more than a dozen men dressed just like him. They all get in the ring and move around before one stands alone, unmasks and reveals himself to be Rollins. Pearce says that he and Rollins see eye-to-eye and that he does not like The Vision (Logan Paul and Austin Theory), and wants to know what Rollins has been doing for the last months, calling the actions of the masked hooded men "unacceptable." He says that Rollins has been able to get away with attacking The Vision, but asks what will happen when it does not, as Rollins is not medically cleared. He asks Rollins to stop the attacks, as it could lead to The Vision ending Rollins' career. Logan Paul and Austin Theory show up and head to the ring, and Logan says that the end of Rollins' career is a matter of when, not if, and that they will end him and his masked minions. Theory decides to get in the ring with Logan to end Rollins, but the masked men show back up and move around to help Rollins get away. LA Knight shows up only to be ganged up on by Logan and Theory, and The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) soon arrive to make the save. Logan and Theory soon retreat.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) on their way out. The two of them state that they have receipts to hand out, and while Jey has nothing to say to CM Punk regarding his mentioning Roman Reigns' father, Jimmy says that they do, and they head back into the arena.

Bayley beats Lyra Valkyria, Raquel Rodriguez, Iyo Sky, Ivy Nile and Asuka in a WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship #1 Contender's Gauntlet Match.

Los Americanos (Rayo Americano and Bravo Americano) are seen in the background, and they look like they are sneaking up on El Grande Americano I.

Penta heads to the ring. He thanks the fans, his friends, his family, WWE, and everyone who believed in him, including himself, as he knew that he would win the WWE Intercontinental Championship, which he dedicates to those who never gave up and "the fighters of the real life." He calls the championship the result of sacrifice and hard work, and states that together, he and the fans will make history before addressing his Mexican fans in Spanish. El Grande Americano shows up, but it is El Grande Americano II and not El Grande Americano I as expected.

Penta retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against El Grande Americano II.

We hear from Stephanie Vaquer. She says she has heard what Liv Morgan had to say and knows that Liv has learned as she could from the privilege of starting out in WWE, and that while Liv has all the tools to be great, she is too ignorant to use them, as she has others do her dirty work while clinging to Dominik Mysterio. Vaquer says that Chile made her who she is, and while Liv was forged by people around her with experience, she was forged in Hell. Vaquer says she and Liv took different road to get here, but they now both have the skills to be here. She says that Liv has gotten lazy, and that she can see more in Liv than Liv can see in herself. She says that Liv could be a great opponent, but Liv sees herself as a cheap blonde. Vaquer says that Liv takes the easy out to keep the championship, then tells her to bring everything she has, as she herself will bring everything she has to continue making history as Women's World Champion. Backstage, Liv Morgan is angry about what Vaquer had to see when Dominik shows up wanting to know where Finn Balor is. Dominik then heads to the ring.

The Judgment Day ("Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez) heads to the ring. Dominik demands a rematch for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, stating that he should be champion right now, but instead, Penta is walking around with his title. He blames this on Finn Balor, and while he wanted to do this privately, he now has to air this out publicly. Finn Balor and JD McDonagh show up and head to the ring. Dominik wants to know where Finn Balor has been, as The Judgment Day has been looking for him, and says that Finn Balor had better have a rematch set up for him. Finn Balor takes the blame for Dominik losing the Intercontinental Championship and apologizes. Finn says he was trying to teach Dominik that The Judgment Day is a family and that they will always have his back, and that in order to be the greatest Mysterio of all time, he must learn to fight his own battles. Finn says he has been trying to help Dominik for two years, but the more he tries to lead him in the right direction, the more he realizes that Rey Mysterio was right about Dominik being "a spoiled little prick." Dominik shoves Finn, and Finn hits a Pele Kick in response. McDonagh has to pull Finn off of Dominik.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce congratulates Je'Von Evans for his performance in the Elimination Chamber. Pearce leaves, then Grayson Waller and Kofi Kingston confront Je'Von. Kofi asks Grayson to let him speak with Je'Von alone, which Grayson does.

He tells Je'Von he does not have to answer right away, and that he knows he has dreams and that Je'Von does not have to do it alone.

CM Punk heads to the ring. Punk says that Roman Reigns has never respected him during his entire career and that he will force Reigns to respect the position that he holds, and that championships are created to see who the best is. He says that the World Heavyweight Championship was created because Reigns shirked his championship duties and refuses to defend his titles, and says that he defends the World Heavyweight title because the fans deserve a fighting champion. Punk says that those who challenge him for the title are forced to level up, or else those who challenge him will be left confused and slack-jawed like Roman Reigns. He also admits that he lowered himself to Roman Reigns' level before The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) show up. Jey demands Punk apologize right now, but Punk wants to know why Roman is sending his cousins to do the heavy lifting. Jey says they were not sent and that he is here himself. Jimmy says this has nothing to do with Roman Reigns and everything to do with respect, and that he has a whole lot of respect for Punk for the kind of character that he is. He says that Punk can talk trash about Reigns all he wants, but he will not take the disrespect towards their late uncle. Jimmy then demands an apology. Punk mentions that his history with The Usos goes back further than people know, and admits that he did not know Sifa as well as he knew Afa, who he practically learned the business from in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He says that even Sifa could see how much of a conniving, backstabbing person Roman Reigns is, and Jey Uso stops Punk, just wanting him to say "I'm sorry." Punk says "I'm sorry," before saying he is sorry for how Roman Reigns treated his family and how he disrespected his mentor in Dusty Rhodes.He says that if Roman Reigns actually cared, he would be in the ring right now instead of his "young boys." The Usos shoves Punk down to the mat and leave to end the 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.

Je'Von Evans is accompanied by Offset for the next match.

Frankie Kazarian and Abyss are backstage for tonight's tribute to "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles.

We hear from Finn Balor, who says that CM Punk is not the only one with people mad at him and that he has to prove to so many people that he can become a world champion. 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.
