- Punk announced a title defense against Sami Zayn in Mexico City, a booking decision that directly answers Zayn’s recent run of attacks on title contenders.
- WWE General Manager Nick Aldis announced that Chelsea Green was medically cleared to wrestle while wearing a protective face mask and that Nia Jax will challenge Green next week.
- Shinsuke Nakamura debuted a new tag partner, Kyoki, as the team Bakusai and they picked up a win, while Giulia attacked Blake Monroe before their scheduled match for a second straight week.
