John Cena vs R-Truth
John Cena made a grand entrance, only to be met by R-Truth, who humorously mocked Cena's persona. Before the match officially began, Cena knocked Truth down with a clothesline, expressing his frustration.
Midway through the match, Truth retaliated with the Five Knuckle Shuffle and an Attitude Adjustment, even putting Cena in the STF.

Drew McIntyre vs Damian Priest (Steel Cage Match)
This highly anticipated Steel Cage match began with chaos even before the bell rang, as Drew and Priest brawled outside the cage. Once inside, they engaged in a fierce battle.
Priest executed a South of Heaven chokeslam on Drew, who countered with a Claymore Kick. The match escalated with the introduction of steel chairs, intensifying the brutality. In the final moments, Priest placed a chair under Drew's head and struck another chair on top, performing a Con-Chair-To that allowed him to secure the win. Medical personnel attended to Drew afterward, who appeared to be seriously injured.
Jey Uso vs Logan Paul (World Heavyweight Championship)
Jey Uso received a hero's welcome as he defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Logan Paul. Both competitors delivered high-impact maneuvers, with Uso quickly gaining the advantage.
Uso executed a Frog Splash from the top rope, but just as he went for the cover, Cena interfered by pulling the referee out of the ring. Cena then attacked Jey, creating a dramatic twist.
In a surprising turn of events, Cody Rhodes returned, saving Uso by delivering a Cross Rhodes to Cena. Uso capitalized on the moment, spearing Logan Paul and covering him to retain his title.
After the match, Cody confronted Cena, expressing his readiness to fight again and challenging him to a tag team match at Money in the Bank, signaling the start of a heated rivalry.
