Women’s World Champion Naomi defeated Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY in a Triple Threat Match to keep her title.
Naomi kept her Women’s World Championship after an intense Triple Threat Match against Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY.
At first, Ripley and SKY worked together, but their alliance collapsed when Ripley accidentally hit SKY. Naomi then took control, but Ripley’s strength stopped her momentum. SKY capitalized, hitting Naomi with a missile dropkick and a 619, keeping the action fast and unpredictable.
Naomi survived a chaotic closing stretch to retain the Women’s World Championship.
SKY and Ripley exchanged near falls after a poisonrana and a Razor’s Edge, but Naomi broke up both pins. Ripley blocked SKY’s Over The Moonsault, only for Naomi to land her Split-Legged Moonsault. SKY then hit her own spectacular moonsault on Ripley, but Naomi answered with a running knee.
Ripley connected with a headbutt and a Riptide on Naomi, but SKY broke the pin. SKY tried a high-risk move from the top rope, only for Ripley to counter with an Avalanche Riptide. As Ripley went for the cover, Naomi slipped in, rolled her up while pulling the tights, and stole the win to keep her title.
WWE Tag Team Champions The Wyatt Sicks (Dexter Lumis & Joe Gacy) retained their titles in a chaotic Six-Pack TLC Match against The Street Profits
Dexter Lumis and Joe Gacy of The Wyatt Sicks overcame five other teams and pure chaos to retain the WWE Tag Team Titles in a brutal Six-Pack TLC Match.
With TLC legends The Dudley Boyz and The Hardy Boyz watching from ringside, the match exploded from the start as all challengers teamed up to attack The Wyatts before turning on each other. Tables, ladders, and chairs filled the ring as chaos unfolded — Gargano drove Gacy through a table with a DDT, Lumis crushed Montez Ford with a flying leg drop through a table, Fénix hit a Frog Splash on Nathan Frazer through another, and Axiom delivered a Spanish Fly on Angelo Dawkins through two tables.
Candice LeRae tried to help #DIY, but B-Fab and Nikki Cross stopped her. In the melee, Ciampa dangled from the title belts after the ladder was knocked away, narrowly avoiding a diving Frazer before crashing through four tables with Gargano.
Uncle Howdy interfered, but Andrade took him out with a ladder-breaking attack. With bodies everywhere, Gacy climbed the ladder, and with Lumis protecting him, he unhooked the titles to seal The Wyatt Sicks’ hard-fought victory.
Becky Lynch retained the Women’s Intercontinental Championship by defeating Lyra Valkyria in a brutal No Disqualification, No Count-Out, Last Chance Match.
Becky Lynch kept her Women’s Intercontinental Championship in a wild No Disqualification, No Count-Out, Last Chance Match against Lyra Valkyria at MetLife Stadium.
From the start, Valkyria came at Lynch with full force, but “The Man” took control by slamming her face on the announce table and unleashing punishment with a kendo stick, steel chair, and even a toolbox. Lynch zip-tied Valkyria’s hands and hung her over the ring post, repeatedly striking her with the kendo stick.
Valkyria fought back heroically, using her bound hands to trap Lynch in a bear hug and headbutt her, then blasted her with a fire extinguisher before freeing herself. She nearly had the match won after a Nightwing onto the floor, but Lynch countered by sending her into an exposed turnbuckle and landing a Man-handle Slam on two chairs.
Bayley entered with a crowbar but refused to attack Valkyria, instead brawling with Lynch. During the chaos, Valkyria hit a top-rope leg drop through a table on Lynch, but when she went for the pin, Bayley accidentally struck her with a chain-wrapped punch. That gave Lynch the opening to hit another Man-Handle Slam for the victory.
Under the “Last Chance” stipulation, Valkyria is now barred from challenging for the Women’s Intercontinental Title as long as Lynch is champion.
Solo Sikoa retained the United States Championship by defeating Jacob Fatu in a brutal Steel Cage Match.
Solo Sikoa survived a war with Jacob Fatu inside the Steel Cage to keep the United States Championship, thanks in large part to help from The MFTs.
Fatu came out swinging, using his speed and power to rattle the champion, but Sikoa countered with stiff strikes and ruthless cage offense. The challenger seemed unfazed after being slammed into the steel, grinning before landing two big moonsaults.
Chaos broke out when Tonga Loa, JC Mateo, and Talla Tonga arrived to assist Sikoa, only for Jimmy Uso to rush in and back up Fatu. After the cage was locked, Sikoa nailed a Samoan Spike and began climbing out, but The MFTs handcuffed Fatu to the top of the structure.
Incredibly, Fatu broke free and dragged Sikoa back inside, but Talla Tonga slammed the cage door into his head. That gave Sikoa the opening to tumble to the floor, escaping the cage and retaining his championship.
After the match, the chaos didn’t end. Jimmy Uso kept fighting, trapping JC Mateo and Tonga Loa inside the cage with the furious Jacob Fatu.
Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio def. AJ Styles
Dominik Mysterio kept the Intercontinental Championship for The Judgment Day by outsmarting veteran AJ Styles.
Styles controlled much of the match with his speed and technical skill, but Mysterio turned things around by countering a Phenomenal Forearm into a Michinoku Driver. He followed up with well-timed reversals, blocking Styles’ Frog Splash with his knees and landing a 619, though his own Frog Splash was countered into a Calf Crusher.
With the referee distracted, Mysterio tried to pull an Eddie Guerrero by faking a chair shot, but Styles played along and dropped to the mat as well, confusing the official. Styles locked in another Calf Crusher, but Mysterio’s boot slipped off, allowing him to smash Styles with it. “Dirty Dom” then hit a Frog Splash to seal the win and keep his title.
Cody Rhodes def. John Cena to win the Undisputed WWE Championship | Street Fight
Cody Rhodes reclaimed the Undisputed WWE Championship in a brutal, emotional main event against John Cena at SummerSlam.
The match started with Rhodes bringing the fight, but Cena struck first with a crutch borrowed from injured NBA star Tyrese Haliburton at ringside. Rhodes answered with a steel chair assault, but Cena rebounded with his signature Five Knuckle Shuffle after smashing Rhodes into a chair.
From there, it became a war of big moves — Rhodes hit a Bionic Elbow and a piledriver, Cena responded with multiple Attitude Adjustments, including one through the announce table and another from the stage ramp after carrying Rhodes up an elevator shaft.
Back in the ring, Rhodes sent Cena through a table, bashed him with a turnbuckle rod, and landed three Cross Rhodes, yet Cena still kicked out. Cena nearly sealed it with three more AAs — the last a Super AA — but Rhodes barely survived.
In the end, Rhodes countered another Super AA with an Avalanche Cutter through a table, saluted Cena, and delivered one last Cross Rhodes for the win.
After the match, both men embraced in a show of mutual respect, with Rhodes leaving the ring to Cena so the 16-time champion could soak in the crowd’s applause.
And in a shocking twist, Brock Lesnar exploded back onto the scene, sending the WWE Universe into a frenzy. After a lengthy showdown, The Beast Incarnate nearly drove Cena through the ring with a thunderous F-5.
