Live Coverage.

• After a video package recapping the events of WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event, Michael Cole & Corey Graves welcomed the audience to the broadcast before transitioning to the opening segment.
• The Bloodline (Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa & Tama Tonga) cut a promo ahead of their match, where Sikoa called out Reigns for challenging him to a Tribal Combat Match and said Reigns could leave The Bloodline behind, but he would still prove he was the rightful Tribal Chief. To the surprise of The Bloodline, Drew McIntyre interrupted and confronted Sikoa. McIntyre said it was eating him alive that he was not beating Sikoa alive because he was the one that cost him the title at Clash At The Castle 2022, but did put him over for being the only one with the balls to stand up to Roman Reigns so that's why he was torn. McIntyre asked Sikoa to take out Reigns for good and then they can return to their unfinished business, but that led to Jimmy Uso attacking McIntyre. Uso & McIntyre approached the crowd, leading to The Bloodline's trios match.
• The Bloodline (Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa & Tama Tonga) def. Andrade, LA Knight & Apollo Crews via Pinfall (Samoan Spike on Crews).
  • Shinsuke Nakamura attacked LA Knight during the match.
• Byron Saxton interviewed The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin), where Shelley vowed to make Gargano regret their betrayal.
• Kevin Owens cut a promo backstage, where he said he was screwed from winning the title at Saturday Night's Main Event, but still took the Winged Eagle Title and said he would not give it back until he gets what he wants. Owens then said he had not snapped yet and WWE Officials did not want him to snap and that everything that happens from here on out is on them.
• #DIY (Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa) spoke backstage, where Gargano said he wanted to prove Shelley wrong by beating him tonight on his own.
• A-Town Down Under (Grayson Waller & Austin Theory) hosted a new episode of "The Grayson Waller Effect", with the special guest being Braun Strowman (dressed as Santa Claus). Strowman was annoyed by Waller's questions, but Carmelo Hayes interrupted and said he felt blindsided by Strowman & Nick Aldis and demanded a rematch against Strowman tonight. Strowman destroyed the set of The Grayson Waller Effect and accepted Hayes's challenge.
• Carmelo Hayes def. Braun Strowman via Count-Out.
• Tiffany Stratton met with Nia Jax & Candice LeRae ahead of their title match tonight, but LeRae responded by telling Stratton to get some champagne or streamers for when they win tonight.
• Hayes ran past Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Angel Garza, Berto & Elektra Lopez) before Braun Strowman confronted them by asking them where Hayes was. Hayes then appeared and hit Strowman with a chair to the back.
• Johnny Gargano def. Alex Shelley (Lateral Press).
