Here are the results:

  • Women’s World Title No. 1 Contenders Battle Royal

A historic Women's Battle Royal came down to Lyra Valkyria, Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill and IYO SKY. After Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez pulled Belair and Cargill out of the ring to the floor to cause a double elimination, the irate WWE Women's Tag Team Champions chased them into the crowd. Then in a final battle on the apron, SKY hit a beautiful German suplex to finally eliminate Valkyria and earn the right to challenge Morgan for the Women's World Title. 

  • The War Raiders def. The New Day

The powerful Erik and Ivar overcame The New Day after Xavier Woods tagged himself into the match at the wrong time. The miscommunication allowed The War Raiders to regain control and defeat Woods with the War Machine.

  • Dragon Lee def. Chad Gable

The rivalry between The LWO and American Made continued as Chad Gable went head-to-head with Dragon Lee. When Chad Gable put his feet on the ropes to attempt to steal a win over Dragon Lee, Zelina Vega knocked them off. In response, Ivy Nile locked Vega in the Dragon Sleeper at ringside. This brought Rey Mysterio to the ring to check on Vega. As he did, Gable reached outside the ring and attempted to rip off the WWE Hall of Famer's mask, allowing Lee to hit Master Gable with Operation Dragon for the three-count.

  • Damian Priest def. Seth “Freakin” Rollins, Sheamus and “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio in a Fatal 4-Way Match to become No. 1 Contender to World Heavyweight Champion Gunther

After World Heavyweight Champion Gunther was defeated by WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at WWE Crown Jewel, Seth “Freakin” Rollins, Sheamus, Damian Priest and “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio battled it out to determine The Ring General's next challenger. Bronson Reed hit Damian Priest and Sheamus with Tsunamis before smashing Seth “Freakin” Rollins through the announce table with another Tsunami. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio attempted to capitalize on the chaos, but Priest caught him leaping off the top rope and blasted him with South of Heaven to pick up the monumental victory.
