- Shayna Baszler, Sonya Deville, and Zoey Stark continue to attack Vega, and they are interrupted by Katana Chance, Kayden Carter, and Lyra Valkyria running to Vega's aid.

- Priest is walking to the ring. Dominik interrupts him. He wants to know why he was kept in the dark about Ripley's return. Priest says he was lied to about Dom communicating with Ripley. Jey Uso runs up to Priest and wants to know if Ripley is single so he can shoot his shot. Dom is infuriated by this and runs off to set up a matchup between them.

- Adam Pearce is talking to some referees backstage about ensuring they are there for protection when he comes face-to-face with Drew McIntyre. Chad Gable interrupts this. He says he's confirmed that Bo Dallas is Uncle Howdy. Pearce says Dallas is in the arena. Gable promises to call him out.

Adam Pearce grants Jey Uso his match with Dominik Mysterio. Then, Bron Breakker confronts Pearce. He is upset about Dragunov getting a title shot.

- Gunther comes out again, and they brawl.

- Chad Gable lurks backstage. Maxxine Dupri, Otis, and Akira Tozawa are overheard talking about their friend and wanting to help him. Gable assumes he's the person they're talking about. He wasn't.

* Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark (w/ Sonya Deville) def. Kayden Carter & Katana Chance (w/ Lyra Valkyria)

- Ripley is shown in the clubhouse again. She seems okay with Finn Balor and JD McDonagh embracing live Morgan to win the Tag Team Championship. Dominik interrupts to tell Ripley that he will beat Jey Uso to show who Ripley belongs to, which was Damian's words earlier. That did not please Ripley.

- Adam Pearce calls Drew McIntyre to the ring. Drew McIntyre says he wants CM Punk. Pearce is willing to give him Punk, but he has to apologize to referees for his actions at WWE Money in the Bank. He refused, so he is still suspended. He starts attacking the referees. Out comes Rollins, who makes things more complicated for Drew by attacking him.

- The next Wyatt Sicks vignette on VHS features an interview with Erick Rowan. Rowan discusses the pain of losing his brothers.

* Jey Uso def. Dominik Mysterio

- Liv Morgan appeared midway through the match. She tried to help Mysterio. He ended up falling on her in a suggestive way again. Ripley ran out to stop this. Uso got the win.

- Backstage, Ripley gave Mysterio a black rose and said that to be clear, he belonged to her, not the other way around. An apparent happy ending, maybe?

- Chad Gable calls out Bo Dallas. Dallas comes to the ring as himself. He gets jumped by Julius and Brutus Creed. He laughs off the attacks by all three men. The rest of the Wyatt Sicks emerge, and the heels scatter.

* WWE Intercontinental Championship: Sami Zayn (c) vs. Ilja Dragunov ended in a no-contest when Bron Breakker hit the scene and obliterated both men.
