Rollins faced adversity after his allies Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed were ejected due to an earlier assault on Roman Reigns. Despite being targeted by all three challengers, Rollins managed to exploit the chaos as Punk, Uso, and Knight turned on each other. Key moments included a Pedigree from Rollins to Punk, a “Tower of Doom” spot from Punk, and a near-victory for Knight with his Blunt Force Trauma, only for Uso to intervene. The match escalated with outside brawling and high-impact moves, including Knight missing an elbow drop through the announcers’ table.
As the action returned to the ring, finishing moves were exchanged. Rollins hit curb stomps at ringside, but Punk narrowly dodged a chair-assisted stomp and set up for the GTS. In a pivotal moment, a masked attacker low-blowed Punk—revealed to be Becky Lynch. This interference allowed Rollins to hit a stomp onto a steel chair, pinning Punk and retaining his title. The match showcased Rollins’ tactical awareness and Lynch’s willingness to intervene, sparking speculation about their on-screen partnership moving forward.
