Let's check out the top 5 things;

#1. Seth Rollins Defeated Shinsuke Nakamura

A significant turning point occurred when JD McDonagh inadvertently struck Damian Priest with the Money in the Bank briefcase, mistaking him for The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes.

#3. John Cena & LA Knight Defeated The Bloodline

The Dream Team of John Cena and LA Knight set the WWE Universe ablaze with their thrilling takedown of Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa of The Bloodline.

A sense of anticipation filled the arena as Cena and Jimmy kicked off this significant matchup, locking up right after the bell rang. Cena opened with a shoulder tackle, and while it was a good start, it didn't deliver a major impact. They engaged in another lockup, Cena repeated the tackle, and he called out Solo. After the tag, Solo stepped into the ring, and both men shared an intense face-off. Cena attempted another tackle, but Solo remained standing tall, absorbing the impact even after taking the hit. Cena tried another tackle, but Solo countered with a massive uppercut.

Jimmy reentered the fray, pummeling Cena with punches. A tag was made, and Solo reentered, positioning Cena on the top rope and launching an attack. Jimmy followed up with a hip toss in the corner, attempting to prevent Cena from making a tag to Knight, successfully breaking up Cena's attempt.

The Bloodline asserted dominance over John Cena, and he was on the receiving end of a sustained offensive assault. Cena managed to surprise everyone by hoisting Jimmy onto his shoulder, setting up for an Attitude Adjustment. Cena was on the verge of tagging in Knight, but before he could do so, Jimmy tagged in Solo, who prevented Cena from making the tag, simultaneously taking Knight off the apron. Cena absorbed a considerable amount of punishment from Solo, who came close to securing a pinfall.

Cena countered by getting his knees up during a Solo attack, finally managing to make the tag to Knight. Jimmy also entered the ring, but Knight wasn't concerned. He slammed Jimmy with a powerful Neckbreaker. Solo reentered but ended up falling victim to a DDT. In the meantime, Jimmy landed a superkick but only managed to secure a near fall.

Jimmy headed to the top rope, executing a Frog Splash, but Knight got back on his feet and planted him on the mat, unleashing his signature move. Solo reentered, executing a Samoan drop on Knight. Cena, however, took advantage by performing a Crossbody from the top rope, while Jimmy delivered a Frog Splash from the same position.

Knight was sent over the top ropes, and Cena seized Solo for an Attitude Adjustment, but Jimmy intervened with a Superkick.

Charlotte Flair appeared poised to become the champion when Asuka submitted to Flair's Figure-Eight Leg Lock. However, Flair couldn't secure the victory because Bayley deliberately diverted the referee's attention, preventing the bell from ringing to end the match. This distraction opened the door for Iyo to capitalize, ultimately sealing her triumph with a perfectly executed Moonsault.
