Roman Reigns And LA Knight Come Face-To-Face
LA Knight opened the show in the ring ahead of his World Heavyweight Championship opportunity against Roman Reigns at Money in the Bank.
Knight acknowledged the chaos surrounding The Bloodline and 946 but said his focus remained firmly on Reigns. He described the champion as part of the establishment and himself as the man looking to tear it down, adding that he was accustomed to operating in chaos.
Reigns then interrupted to a loud “OTC” chant.
The World Heavyweight Champion insisted that he was not distracted by 946 or Knight, saying he had been “born in the deep end.” Reigns then accused Knight of hypocrisy for attacking him after his successful title defence in Mexico.
Reigns said he had never taken his eyes off Knight despite believing they were not on the same level. He added that WWE’s plans for Knight were for him to become “another egg in the omelette” before promising to break him at Money in the Bank.
Reigns attempted to leave after demanding acknowledgement from the crowd, but Knight stopped him.
Knight branded Reigns a “corporate-manufactured puppet” and claimed WWE had pushed him to the top. He promised to take the World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank before leaving Reigns pacing around the ring.
Je’Von Evans & Penta vs. Bron Breakker & Austin Theory
Je’Von Evans and Penta attempted to attack Bron Breakker and Austin Theory before the opening bell, leading to a brawl around ringside.
Once the match officially began, Breakker and Theory isolated Evans. Theory prevented Evans from making a tag by pulling Penta from the apron before Breakker launched Evans over the ropes with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex.
Breakker and Theory later combined for a top-rope bulldog before Penta eventually received the tag.
Penta increased the pace with a step-up hurricanrana, facebuster and springboard DDT on Theory before taking Breakker out with a tope suicida.
Evans followed with a springboard clothesline on Theory, but interference soon became a factor. Maxxine Dupri distracted the referee while Logan Paul attempted to slide brass knuckles to Theory.
Paul overshot his intended target, allowing Evans to intercept the weapon. Evans used the brass knuckles on Theory and made the cover for the victory.
Winner: Je’Von Evans & Penta
Bronson Reed attacked Evans and Penta after the match, hitting Penta with a Tsunami before Oba Femi arrived to make the save.
Femi fought off both Reed and Breakker, then grabbed a microphone and delivered a message to his Money in the Bank opponent. Femi said The Vision could have Reed’s soul and Paul Heyman could have his mind, but at Money in the Bank, Reed belonged to him.

Sikoa received a strong reaction when he appeared alongside his Bloodline family members.
Ethan Page vs. Rey Fenix
AAA World Cruiserweight Champion Rey Fenix faced Ethan Page in a non-title singles match.
Fenix immediately attempted to increase the pace and connected with a dropkick before hitting a tornillo from the top rope to the floor.
Page slowed Fenix down and later connected with a head-and-arm capture suplex for a near fall. Fenix responded with several kicks and an Oscutter for another two-count.
Fenix continued applying pressure with Angel’s Wings and a superkick, but neither was enough to finish Page.
Page answered with consecutive powerslams before attempting an avalanche version of the move. Fenix escaped and connected with another superkick.
The closing exchange saw Fenix attempt a Muscle Buster before Page escaped and went for a fisherman’s suplex. Fenix countered into a small package and held Page down for three.

Judgment Day eventually isolated Rey.
Mysterio fought back with an enziguri and later caught Dominik with a tornado DDT before attempting to reach Dragon Lee for the tag.
