With a diverse range of matches, including singles bouts, tag team affairs, and even a Fatal Four-Way Elimination contest, there was something for everyone in this electrifying evening of professional wrestling.

In the opening match, Chris Jericho proved why he's still one of the best in the business, outlasting Neville in an exciting singles encounter. The match featured plenty of aerial action, with both competitors trading near-falls and showing off their impressive movesets. In the end, it was Jericho who emerged victorious, clocking Neville with a thunderous Codebreaker to secure the win (11:00).

Next up, Nia Jax made her mark on the WWE scene, dominating Hyan in a squash match that showcased her incredible power and agility.
