In a six-man tag match on WWE RAW, Kevin Owens, Otis, and Chad Gable faced Ezekiel, Montez Ford, and Angelo Dawkins. Dawkins and Gable got things started with a short exchange. When Otis arrived, the Profits and Ezekiel combined for a powerful tandem dropkick on the large guy. Kevin Owens landed a springboard moonsault before Ezekiel landed a spinebuster on Gable, but Otis intervened. A scuffle erupted in the ring before KO tripped Ezekiel, allowing Gable to roll him up and take the victory.
Winner: Kevin Owens and Alpha Academy
Veer arrived in the ring for his next squash bout after a quick backstage chat with AJ Styles and a lengthy talk with Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville. Before the game, Burt Hanson conducted a brief chat with Byron Saxton. He got a cheap pop naming a nearby restaurant where he used to work before Veer quickly dispatched him for another easy win.
Winner: Veer Mahaan
Damian Priest faced AJ Styles on WWE RAW with the condition that if Styles won, Priest would be barred from ringside for the fight between Edge and Styles on Sunday. As soon as the ref signaled for the bell, the Phenomenal One lunged after Priest. He got three excellent strikes in before Priest knocked him out with a massive kick. Edge went into the ring to assault after Styles won with a roll-up. Finn Balor dashed down the ramp to make the save and clear the ring.

The Miz tried to make a fool out of Mustafa Ali this week and again Theory with the help of authority got him out of the singles match. The US champion informed Ali that he would be given a title contender’s handicap match against him and The Miz tonight, and that if Ali won, he would be eligible for a crack at the crown in the near future. Unfortunately for Ali, The Miz was able to deliver the Skull-Crushing Finale in only his second bout back. At the very least, it happened in a handicap match rather than a regular singles match. Ciampa struck Ali from behind as he rose to his feet.
Winner: The Miz and Austin Theory
Dana Brooke was defeated in a backstage segment by Nikki A.S.H. for the 24/7 championship. She informed Reggie that if he wanted to stay married, he needed to get her a rematch. He got her the match, so Brooke and Nikki faced off in front of Tamina, Akira Tozawa, and R-Truth. Brooke had the upper hand at initially, but Nikki was able to land several heavy strikes from ringside. Brooke eventually hit a neckbreaker to secure the pin and reclaim her championship. Reggie attempted to roll her up to grab the championship, so she smacked him and stormed out.
Winner: Dana Brooke
Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes had a lengthy exchange that culminated with The American Nightmare throwing The Visionary out of the ring as he attempted to attack. Bobby Lashley faced up against Cedric Alexander, a former Hurt Business colleague, in the following match. Before they could start, Omos’ music came on and distracted Lashley, allowing Alexander to strike him from behind. During a suicide dive, the All Mighty batted him away and threw him into the barricade. On offence, it was all Lashley from that point forward. He won with The Hurt Lock and threatened Omos to come to the ring, but MVP stopped him.
Winner: Bobby Lashley
Sonya began the match against Bianca, but swiftly tagged out to Rhea to avoid The EST’s wrath. The babyfaces cornered the authority figure and employed double-team offence once she was forced to fight. The action in this match was fast-paced and intense, allowing each of the six participants to have distinct opportunities to shine. Even though the entrances went longer than required, they seemed to have enough time to create this a quality match that didn’t leave anyone out. The bout also allowed each of the major feuds time to shine by teaming those women up for separate sequences. Morgan secured the victory for her team by hitting Oblivion on Deville for the pin.
Winner: Asuka, Liv Morgan, Bianca Belair
