- Night 1 is headlined by Undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton with Pat McAfee in Orton’s corner, which WWE President Nick Khan said would overdeliver.
- Night 2 features CM Punk defending the World Heavyweight title against Roman Reigns after a tense build that included Reigns’ pointed video on X questioning Punk’s fighting pedigree this week.
- The undercard mixes spectacle and returns, including Finn Bálor reviving his ‘Demon’ persona vs. Dominik Mysterio, Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar, AJ Lee vs. Becky Lynch, and a six‑pack Intercontinental ladder match with Penta, Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee, Je’Von Evans, Rusev and JD McDonagh.
