CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn, and Jey Uso Segment
CM Punk kicked off the segment with a heartfelt monologue in Everett, Washington, addressing his recent journey and future ambitions. Reflecting on his War Games and Hell in a Cell matches, Punk expressed clarity about his direction in WWE, teasing potential paths like the Royal Rumble or Elimination Chamber. He invited the audience to join him on his journey, asserting that while the road might have obstacles, he holds the necessary favors to reach his goals.
Rollins interrupted with a fiery rebuttal, expressing regret for not attacking Punk earlier. Over the past year, injuries, title defenses, and the Bloodline storyline had kept Rollins occupied, but now, with nothing holding him back, he was ready to settle the score. The bitterness between Rollins and Punk boiled over as Rollins declared his intent to knock Punk down, marking this as a moment of reckoning.
Punk dismissed Rollins’ grievances, claiming he had no time for petty rivalries. However, Rollins escalated matters by shoving Punk, leading to a physical altercation. Sami Zayn and Jey Uso intervened to separate the two, but the chaos continued as Rollins verbally lashed out, accusing both Punk and Zayn of betrayal.
The tension shifted to Zayn and Rollins, where Rollins criticized Zayn for siding with Punk during War Games instead of aligning with him. Zayn defended his decision, citing Rollins’ refusal to team with him, which forced him to accept Punk’s help. Rollins countered by blaming Zayn’s gullibility for aligning with Punk and, indirectly, the Bloodline.
Zayn, frustrated with Rollins’ attacks, challenged him to a match later that night to settle the issue. Rollins accepted, promising to vent his anger on Zayn in the ring.
Judgment Day Backstage Segment
We got a video recap of Finn Balor’s parking lot brawl with Damian Priest after Survivor Series went off the air. Since Dom Dom couldn’t get the job done, Finn had to take issues into his own hands. Now, Priest has his arm in a sling. Finn says that if Liv Morgan listened to him, she wouldn’t have loss at War Games. Now she has to deal with Iyo Sky at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Liv says that her and Raquel Rodriguez are going to handle business with Damage CTRL. She just hopes that Finn knows what he’s doing. Whenever they listen to Finn Balor, The Judgment Day wins.

Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio and GUNTHER Backstage Segment
Finn Balor & Dominik Mysterio interrupted GUNTHER’s interview with Cathy Kelley. Finn believes that he deserves a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. He should’ve shaken his hand at Survivor Series instead of kicking him in the face. GUNTHER doesn’t owe Finn anything. He needed this victory for himself, by himself, that’s what Finn took away from him. GUNTHER knows why Dominik has been so cocky lately, it’s because he defeated Damian Priest unlike Finn Balor. GUNTHER is feeling really good tonight. He’s going to have a chat with Adam Pearce and Dom can meet him in the ring.

The New Day’s Ten-Year Anniversary
The New Day’s ten-year anniversary celebration began with Adam Pearce honoring the group’s incredible legacy as the most decorated tag team in WWE history. Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston took the microphone to express heartfelt gratitude to the WWE Universe, reflecting on a decade filled with success, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments. They thanked the fans for their unwavering support, emphasizing how much their journey meant to them. However, the celebratory tone shifted when Big E made his return to the ring.
Big E spoke about his deep love for The New Day and recounted their struggles and triumphs over the years. He reminded them of the sacrifices they made for each other and vowed to support them as a manager until he could be medically cleared to compete. Despite his emotional plea, Woods and Kingston expressed their pain and frustration over Big E’s prolonged absence. They accused him of prioritizing other aspects of his life over their brotherhood, which had always been built on the philosophy of “we before me.”
The confrontation became increasingly heated as Woods and Kingston aired their grievances, questioning why Big E hadn’t returned sooner despite his injury and implying that he had abandoned them. Big E, visibly distraught, asked for a hug, unwilling to throw away their ten-year bond. Instead of reconciling, he left the ring heartbroken, while Woods and Kingston closed the segment with a handshake, leaving the future of The New Day shrouded in uncertainty.

There’s nothing that’s going to stop Ludwig from bringing the Intercontinental Championship back to Imperium. Bron says that he would love nothing to more to defend his title against Ludwig. He gives Ludwig his props, but maybe Ludwig should consider stepping outside of GUNTHER’s shadow since his stock is falling down.
