Sporting a fur coat reminiscent of Cruella de Vil, Rollins had the audience hanging on his every word. He spoke of his ongoing journey as the world champion hinting at possible injuries and had the crowd chanting “Thank you, Rollins.”
However, Drew McIntyre’s entrance signaled a change in tone. The Scottish Warrior, always up for a challenge, made his intentions clear he wanted a title match against Rollins. In a surprising turn of events, McIntyre proposed Crown Jewel on November 4 as the ideal battleground for their clash. The camaraderie displayed in this segment was a departure from the norm, setting a respectful tone for their impending battle.
But just as things appeared cordial, Damian Priest crashed the party, determined to cash in his Money in the Bank contract. Chaos ensued as McIntyre thwarted Priest’s cash-in attempt, leaving Rollins standing tall.
Two formidable forces collided when Nia Jax and Raquel Rodriguez locked horns in a high-octane contest. Weeks of Jax targeting various Raw women culminated in this intense matchup. The action spilled outside the ring early, as both competitors looked to establish dominance. Rodriguez displayed her immense strength finally hoisting Jax for a powerbomb highlighting her ability to lift the larger Jax.
However, the match took an unexpected turn when Rhea Ripley interfered causing a disqualification. Shayna Baszler joined the fray setting the stage for a potential championship showdown. While the bout between Jax and Rodriguez took center stage, Baszler and Ripley’s interference hinted at an exciting future rivalry.

Becky Lynch and Tegan Nox engaged in a technical showcase for the NXT Women’s Championship. The two babyface Superstars delivered a competitive match that emphasized their technical prowess. The bout showcased a different side of Lynch and Nox, emphasizing counters and takedowns rather than brute force. Nox seized the opportunity to shine on the main roster and pushed Lynch to her limits.
In the end, Lynch retained her title, but not without acknowledging Nox’s impressive performance. This match highlighted the depth of talent in NXT’s women’s division and left the door open for future opportunities for Nox.
