 Kevin Owens def. Sami Zayn, Finn Balor and Gunther in an Undisputed WWE Championship No. 1 Contender's Fatal 4-Way MatchTo call this a pleasant surprise would be putting it mildly. Zayn vs. Balor would have delivered regardless, but adding Gunther to the mix followed by the returning Owens was a hell of a swerve. That immediately made the beginning of this show must-see. The actual match was a treat, though I would've appreciated it getting a few more minutes. I guess this means we're getting Owens vs. CM Punk as the next program for the Undisputed WWE title. Holy shit!

 Women's World Champion Liv Morgan def. IYO SKYI thought their last encounter at Night of Champions was good albeit unspectacular. This, however, was much better. It was nicely paced and both women put forth an excellent effort. I could have done without the interference from the rest of The Judgment Day, but this was a really enjoyable opener otherwise. I was pulling for SKY to win because Morgan's reign has been so damn uneventful, so while I was disappointed SKY lost, I can only hope this will be a turning point in how she's booked going forward. I'm just not sure who's waiting in the wings to challenge given the dire state of Raw's women's division right now.
 Oba Femi def. Jey Uso in the Finals of the King of the RingWell, this really wasn't much of a match, was it? That isn't to say Uso got completely squashed (Uso scored his fair share of offense), but this was over in a matter of minutes. Realistically, it should have been, but it made for a disappointing finals to what's been a disappointing tournament. The important thing is that Femi went over as he should have. He was always the right winner of this tourney, but I have no idea what this means for his feud with Brock Lesnar going into SummerSlam.
 Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes def. GuntherThis was along the lines of their original encounter from Crown Jewel two years ago in that I thought it was great. It was well wrestled throughout and the crowd was into the action. Of course, my biggest nitpick was the finish, specifically the execution of it. I know what they were going for, but it came off terribly. I get protecting Gunther in defeat, but if they're going to extend the feud anyway, why not just have Gunther take the title here?
 Bron Breakker def. Seth RollinsThis wasn't entirely smooth (Breakker takes too many stupid risks and Rollins isn't as agile as he once was), but it ended up being a super enjoyable outing, regardless. They worked a fun, fast-paced match that the crowd was hot for. Breakker winning was absolutely the right call, but I'd have no issue with their feud continuing since it just started. It'd also give them a chance to have the better bout they're capable of.
