Now, let’s dive into the action by starting with a closer look at the highly anticipated Women’s Title Match, as we roll out a gripping video package to set the stage.

Rey and Santos take center stage, and Santos can’t help but inquire if everything went as planned. Rey assures him that he made the call and sent the text, but they’re still waiting for a response. Rey implores Santos to have faith in him and the process.

In the battle of predictions, here’s how our panelists stack their choices:

  • Wade Barrett is putting his money on The Street Profits and the formidable Bobby Lashley.
  • Booker T, on the other hand, is also placing his faith in Bobby Lashley, alongside The Street Profits.
  • Meanwhile, Peter Rosenberg is taking a bit of a gamble, opting for the LWO. Let the showdown begin!

Byron Saxton catches up with Paul Heyman next, diving into the Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa versus LA Knight and John Cena matchup. Heyman emphasizes that Cena and Knight aren’t exactly best buddies but are teaming up to survive against the formidable Bloodline. Heyman predicts an easy victory for Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa.

When Byron asks about the consequences of a loss, Paul Heyman doesn’t mince words and wonders aloud why such a question would even be asked, especially by someone dressed in such a distinctive manner. He asserts that there’s no reason to expect a loss and demands that Kayla handles his interviews next time for a more intelligent exchange.

Lastly, a captivating video package highlights the Tag Title Match.

Switching gears, we find Cathy Kelley in the presence of Iyo Sky, Bayley, and Dakota Kai. Cathy inquires about Iyo’s game plan for the upcoming match, seeking some insider information. However, Bayley jumps in, quite unceremoniously, and dismisses Cathy as an idiot. She bluntly states that Iyo won’t be divulging her strategy to anyone. Undeterred, Iyo asserts that she’s got her own plan and leaves the scene.

With Iyo gone, Bayley follows suit, making her exit, and Dakota Kai follows suit, leaving us with some lingering intrigue.
