We kicked the night off with THE title match, folks! ESPN viewers got a treat, as the Men’s & Women’s WWE Championships were the free matches tonight.

Men’s WWE Championship: Gunther vs Cody Rhodes (c)

During the Countdown, Cody Rhodes mentioned that the most important part of the early game of a Gunther match is avoiding the chops. Gunther chopped Cody at least five times in the first few minutes. Not a great start for QB 1.

Gunther baited Cody’s Goldust-style powerslam, nearly caught him in a choke, and booted the WWE Champion in the face off the escape. The challenger is in complete control. Cody eventually caught the big man with a combination and hit the powerslam, followed by Dusty’s Bionic Elbow. Pedigree!!

Gunther kicked out. It wouldn’t be that easy. Gunther rose back to his feet and hammered Rhodes with his running dropkick, followed by the powerbomb in the middle of the ring!! A nearfall. Cody countered the diving splash and hit a Disaster Kick. The first Cross Rhodes of the night earned Cody a close count.

A top rope Cody Cutter was countered with a sleeper, and Cody pulled out the Crown Jewel finish that earned him a pinfall over Gunther back in 2024, rolling back for a pin. It didn’t work this time, and Gunther locked his submission in, grapevine included. Cody fought for several minutes to escape, each time thwarted by the Career Killer. Some nasty elbows to the head left Cody seemingly unconscious for a second.

Eventually, Cody got his foot on the rope, but it was clear that Gunther had the man beat. We got a chop fest next, then a clothesline trade. Gunther nearly decapitated the champion, then, after nearly catching Cody with the sleeper again, Gunther was finally hit with the Cody Cutter. Big lariat! Cross Rhodes and…1-2-3??

Gunther’s foot was clearly under the rope; his entire boot was hanging off the apron. That was…a strange way to start the show.

Cody Rhodes defeated Gunther via pinfall to retain the Men’s WWE Championship.

Grade: C. That felt…anticlimactic. Just as they were really heating up, it ended. After the importance of their rivalry was reflected on, with Gunther’s promises of victory always coming true and Cody holding a clear victory over the man, ending it like that was not great.

Women’s WWE Championship: Jade Cargill vs Rhea Ripley (c)

Jade Cargill looked to overpower Rhea Ripley early, but Mami wasn’t having it. The Eradicator sent her challenger to the floor and hit a huge wrecking ball dropkick. The crowd was screaming until Jade countered a cannonball, bouncing Rhea off the apron into a knee to the jaw.

Cargill slowly stalked Rhea, hammering the champion and mocking her as Rhea writhed in pain. Jade even hit a few pushups after Rhea collapsed from a whip to the corner. After what seemed like minutes of punishment, Ripley finally fired up. A big striking combination set up a facebuster and a sliding dropkick to the face.

Jade was dumped to the floor with a German suplex, and Rhea connected with that cannonball off the apron she went for earlier. A missile dropkick was pinpoint accurate in the ring, earning the champ a two-count.

The challenger escaped the Razor’s Edge, launching Rhea overhead with a back body drop. Rhea responded with a roundhouse out of a handstand (wow!), leaving both women down.

The champ stunned Jade with a headbutt, but couldn’t secure the Riptide. Razor’s Edge attempt number two worked, as did a shining wizard! 1-2-kick out! Jade has Cargill in the electric chair, and they fall over the ropes. Somehow, Rhea, despite her spine cracking the corner of the apron, held Jade up and dropped her face-first on it!

Riptide countered again. Jaded countered. Jade blocked the Riptide AGAIN with a DDT, and the crowd seemed to appreciate Cargill’s effort tonight. Another kick out. Blue Thunder Bomb to Ripley! Unfortunately, nobody wins with that move. They moved to the top for an avalanche back suplex, and Jade was nearly pinned. B-Fab and Michin ran in for a distraction, and a boot nearly took Rhea’s face off.

Rhea Ripley escaped Jaded and finally hit the Riptide, but B-Fab put Cargill’s leg on the ropes. The ref saw the whole thing and…didn’t throw them out? Instead, Charlotte Flair, dressed in all denim, took them out.

Jade Cargill took advantage of the distraction. Jaded!! 1-2-noo!! Flair hung Ripley’s foot on the ropes. After jaw-jacking with Flair, Jade went for the chokeslam on the champ. Rhea escaped, hit another Riptide, and finally put Jade down.

Rhea Ripley defeated Jade Cargill via pinfall to retain the Women’s WWE Championship.

Grade: A-. I won’t say this wasn’t a little messy. Some botches here and there, but Rhea and Jade are great together. When you’ve got two powerhouses that treat you to a heavyweight showcase, it’s easy to forgive the slip-ups. This felt like the kind of title match the top prize deserved.

Ahead of the next match, which moved WWE Clash in Italy off ESPN and onto the app, we got a great video package hyping up Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar. We heard that line Oba said on Monday Night RAW once again. “I’m going to kill him.” Huge threat, hopefully it doesn’t lead to Oba’s first big loss on the main roster.

Brock Lesnar vs Oba Femi

Before the introductions were even finished, Brock Lesnar planted Oba Femi with two F-5’s. Another F-5!! Brock Lesnar begged for Oba Femi to get to his feet. The Ruler did so, and was dropped with F-5 number four!!

1-2-Oba Femi kicked out!! Brock locked in the Kimura, tying The Bringer of War up in the middle of the ring. This was the most anybody had been able to dominate Oba in his entire WWE career. But Oba stood up, countering with a spinebuster!! Brock grabbed onto Femi’s arm again, so Femi drove the living legend repeatedly into the corner.

The Beast Incarnate finally let go, but escaped the chokeslam. F-5 again?? Femi was planted with a fifth F-5, but he STILL kicked out! Brock Lesnar finally stopped his onslaught, seemingly stunned stupid by Femi’s sheer resilience and will.

Femi escaped another F-5 and chokeslammed Lesnar (kinda, didn’t look great) before knocking the big man to the floor. The English announce table was cleared, and Femi was F-5’d through it!! A sixth F-5!! Brock Lesnar celebrated in the corner as the ref began the count.

At 7, Oba seemed out. At 8, it looked like Oba Femi was completely refreshed!! Brock Lesnar was mortified in the corner as Femi bounced off him with repeated clotheslines!! Shot Put Bomb!! Fall From Grace countered, though, as Femi was planted with a seventh F-5!! 1-2-3! Brock Lesnar just defeated Oba Femi!

Brock Lesnar defeated Oba Femi via pinfall.

Grade: A. In a vacuum, as a pure brawl between titans? This was awesome. When you add in the fact that they pretty much erased all of Oba Femi’s momentum from WrestleMania to get three of these matches…it would get a D+. Oba could’ve ridden that clean into a World Title match at SummerSlam. He still might, but it won’t be as big.

After the match, Lesnar shouted, “1 + 1, you’re done b*tch!!” Third match incoming? Probably. We also saw more highlights from the Noche de Los Grandes main event last night, where El Grande Americano unmasked OG El Grande Americano in what was one of the best matches of the year.

The Miz, Fraxiom, Matt Cardona, R-Truth, and Danhausen were in a skit promoting the new Scary Movie. They all did the “Wazzaaaaaaap” bit before Marlon Wayans called them, continuing the bit.

Women’s WWE Intercontinental Championship: Sol Ruca vs Becky Lynch (c)

WWE official Jessika Carr, again, was the ref for this one. Becky Lynch tried to use Carr as a shield to no avail. After face planting the WWE Intercontinental Champion, Sol Ruca tossed Lynch into the corner for a big splash. Lynch tossed Ruca to the floor and rocked her with a baseball slide.

She tossed the challenger into the post, but Ruca landed on her hands, then lifted herself up while Lynch’s punch hit the ring post. Big moonsault followed, but Sol couldn’t get the pin. They brawled in and out of the ring a bit while Lynch chirped at the referee. A diving leg drop off Bret’s Rope (The second, and most dangerous rope) earned Lynch a two-count.

Sol began to fire up, battering the champion and dropping her with a German suplex. A big mid-rope dropkick connected, as did a running penalty kick for a close call. Lynch saw the Sol Snatcher coming and went for the armbar. Sol managed to escape, locking in an STF.

Lynch broke away, and after dodging around Carr again, which saw the ref leave the ring to avoid injury, Lynch hit Sol with the reverse DDT. Lynch and Carr went at it after Carr was late on the pin earlier. The champion and challenger brawled to the top rope, where Sol dropped Becky with a top rope X-Factor!!

1-2-no!! Lynch kicked out! The Women’s WWE Intercontinental Champion tried to pull Carr into harm’s way, instead shoving the WWE official into Carr to knock Sol off the top rope. Superplex! Sol flipped out of a DDT and rocked Lynch with a big superkick!

Sol Ruca’s handspring press to the floor was…not clean, but nothing too bad happened. Back in the ring, Lynch countered her springboard 450 clothesline with a Manhandle Slam! Sol kicked out…and Lynch went for the Sol Snatcher!! Sol pulled her out of the air and hit a Manhandle Slam of her own for a two-count!

After escaping a flatliner into the turnbuckle, Sol bounced out and finally hit the Sol Snatcher!! 1-2-3!!

Sol Snatcher defeated Becky Lynch via pinfall to win the Women’s WWE Intercontinental Championship.

Grade: B. Again, not exactly smooth, but a great showing, regardless, for Sol. We actually got a new champion tonight, thankfully. That’s worth a high grade on its own.

After the match, we were shown several WWE Superstars at ringside, including All Ego Ethan Page and Lyra Valkyria. The WWE King & Queen of the Ring Tournament Brackets would be announced after the show today, but Cole seemingly confirmed they would be in the tournaments this year. Valkyria, notably, was in the finals of the 2024 tournament, where she lost to Nia Jax, who went on to defeat Bayley for the Women’s WWE Championship at that year’s SummerSlam.

It was time for Tribal Combat. No disqualification. Everything is legal. No Usos. The first to get a pinfall or submission would be champion. Jacob Fatu was out first, with more traditional garb around his waist than he normally wears. Over the weekend, we weren’t sure if Fatu would compete in the WWE Clash in Italy main event. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case.

Tribal Combat for the Ula Fala and the Men’s WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Jacob Fatu vs Roman Reigns (c)

We got the usual “Roman, Roman Reigns! Roman, Roman Reigns,” chant, but Jacob Fatu got his own with “Ole, ole ole ole, Fatuuuuu, Fatuuuuu!”

Roman played to the crowd while fighting, whirling the finger in the air to build up a big pop for a punch. Fatu wasn’t here for that and quickly went for the Tongan Death Grip. Roman broke free and moved to the floor, which Fatu anticipated and followed with a suicide dive.

Reigns was tossed over the barricade, and we began the good ol’ walk’n’brawl in the crowd. After a good few minutes of…not much, we got back to the ring. Fatu and Reigns fought over a table. Reigns finally got some real damage in on his family member, launching steel steps from inside the ring to Jacob’s head on the floor. The WWE’s OTC followed with the drive-by dropkick, bouncing Fatu’s head into the steel post.

10 clotheslines in the corner (with counting in Italian) dazed Fatu, and Reigns followed with a big boot. The Superman Punch missed, and Fatu fired up. The Samoan Werewolf had the WWE World Heavyweight Champion down fast after a clothesline/senton combo.

Half a dozen headbutts in the corner set up Fatu’s Umaga-style hip attack. Samoan Drop? NOPE!! Pop-up Superman Punch for a two-count! Fatu stopped a spear with a superkick and locked in the Tongan Death Grip!! Reigns had to fight to the floor, again, to escape, and caught Fatu with a big shot as he went for another dive.

As Fatu struggled to get to his feet, lifting himself using an announcer’s desk, Reigns smashed his right hand with a toolbox. “Can’t do s**t with that now, can you?”

Reigns set up for the spear in the ring, but Fatu rushed him. The WWE’s Tribal Chief was flattened with a splash and crushed with another Umaga-inspired hip attack. He went for that attack through the barricade, but Reigns bounced back with another Superman Punch. Reigns got a little revenge, driving Umaga through the barricade with a spear (and also taking out a few security guards).

Fatu kicked out of another spear in the ring. Reigns continued to talk trash. “No Usos, no Bloodline, I don’t need any help to beat anyone!” Fatu’s injured hand meant his Tongan Death Grip was weak, and Reigns escaped an out-of-nowhere attempt.

Superman Punches rained down, but Fatu fired up and cut Reigns down with a spear! Reigns kicked out, and his spear was countered with the Samoan Drop! The Best Moonsault Ever!!

1-2-no!! Just as Reigns was kicking out, his arm went up and low-blowed Fatu. Reigns bounced Fatu’s head repeatedly off an exposed turnbuckle before spearing the challenger through the table in the opposite corner. Fatu stood right back up…and got speared right back down!

Roman Reigns defeated Jacob Fatu via pinfall to retain the Men’s WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Grade: B-. The Backlash match was much better. This was a lot slower, which could have to do with the injury that Fatu might or might not be dealing with.

After the match, The Usos met the WWE World Heavyweight Champion in the ring and dapped him up. The Bloodline left, with Roman Reigns telling Fatu he was with them now. Solo Sikoa and the MFTs were in the crowd. Reigns was heard telling the multi-time WWE Tag Team Champions, “They’re next, and I got something for them too.”

Looks like Bloodline vs Not Bloodline is next on the table. Too bad two of them got cut already.

Overall Grade: C+/B-. Matches were good to great, but the predictability of these shows are really hurting them. Hopefully, they can heat up heading into SummerSlam, but it’s been tough to get through these shows.
