Live Coverage.
- Michael Cole & Corey Graves welcomed the audience to the broadcast before transitioning into the opening segment.
- Jimmy Uso came to the ring with a crutch on his right side to talk about what would be next for The OG Bloodline. He said he was proud of his family and how they had progressed before saying he did not know what the future would look like for him, but said 2025 would be a big year and that nothing would stop him from achieving what he wants; however, that fell apart thanks to Drew McIntyre appearing from out of nowhere and hitting the Claymore on Uso. Nick Aldis, Shane Helms, Jamie Noble, Shawn Daivari & two referees came to separate McIntyre from Uso.
- Tiffany Stratton was training backstage before Candice LeRae & WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax to wish her luck tonight in her match, wishing her luck in the WWE Women's United States Title Semifinals.
- Nick Aldis was irate by Drew McIntyre's antics before Bianca Belair & Naomi met Aldis. Aldis told Belair & Naomi that the investigation was regarding who attacked Jade Cargill but said Belair might have to relinquish the WWE Women's Tag Titles; however, Naomi pinched in and said if need be, she could be Belair's partner so she couldn't relinquish the title. Aldis said he would run it through the higher-ups.
