I quit match: Cody Rhodes def. AJ Styles for the WWE undisputed title

The crowd were absolutely electric from the jump, serenading Cody Rhodes at every opportunity while booing AJ Styles out of the building. Still, Rhodes' embrace with his mother at ringside before the bell did make fans wonder if his weakness was about to be exposed.

The pair battled backstage and exchanged control of the matchup. Styles was promptly told to get stuffed by enraged Mama Rhodes at ringside as he dictated proceedings and her son bled.

Styles leapt on a chair around Rhodes' neck and that wasn't enough. A dozen kendo stick strikes wasn't enough. Being whipped by a belt wasn't enough. Making Rhodes pass out wasn't enough. But handcuffs?

Styles confronted Mama Rhodes again and got three slaps for his troubles. Back in the ring he ascended to the top rope, but was met with a chair that sent him theory a previously assembled table.

After being handcuffed to the ropes and suffering multiple chair shots, Styles was on the brink of quitting. What tipped him over the edge? Rhodes attempting to launch steel steps at his head.

Unholy Union def. Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill and Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark for the women's tag team titles

It seems Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill's spell of dominance is over just as it was picking up, but at the expense of a hometown win.

The match started with the champions asserting their power but in textbook triple-threat fashion, all teams would have spells on the sidelines dazed.

Alba Fyre's hot tag had the Hydro going wild as he landed a tornado DDT and flung herself from the top rope to the outside.

Just as Belair and Cargill looked like they had the match won after hitting their finish on Shayna Baszler, Dawn snuck in the ring, German suplexed Cargill and stole the cover for the upset win.

Sami Zayn def. Chad Gable for the Intercontinental title

The Intercontinental champion started the match strong and dictated early proceedings, complete with a moonsault to the outside as he held his one in the mat-based exchanges.

The crowd got on their feet for Sami Zayn's face-to-face with Otis, but Chad Gable kept imploring his 'number one guy' to stay focused.

As the match broke down, both men exchanged crossface submissions before Gable clubbed Zayn down. After causing a distraction, Maxxine Dupri wouldn't hit Zayn with the IC belt, while Gable remonstrated with her in the corner, Zayn attempted a Helluva kick and forced himself to stop short before hitting Maxxine, allowing Gable to hit a rolling German.

Back on the outside, Otis got in Gable's face to stop him berating Maxxine any further. When they accidentally hit her causing her to fall on her already injured ankle, Otis abandoned his stable mate and took Maxxine backstage. Gable's confusion led to Zayn lining up a Helluva kick to seal the win.

It didn't take long for Chelsea Green to get ejected from ringside after multiple early interferences. Piper Niven was holding her own as the powerhouse, but she sold Chelsea's departure like a major blow.

The crowd were fairly split. Some of the cheering for Piper was fairly difficult as she still acted like the heel she is in America, but the Scots still had their woman's back.

Piper kept the upper hand, whipping Bayley from pillar to post and slamming the champion around. It was a classic battle of power versus skill but as Piper scaled to the top rope, Bayley met her for a Bayley-to-Belly.

Only Chelsea Green running back down - but in a mask - helped save Piper.

After an unsuccessful Rose Plant from Bayley, she managed to mount Piper's back and hit a crucifix pin to steal the win.

Inside Drew McIntyre's decision to sign new WWE contract: The promise The Rock made to him

The crowd, as expected were all about Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest had his work cut out to stop the challengers momentum. But, after an early onslaught, that's exactly what he did as one of the few men who can match McIntyre for size and power.

Priest attempted step-up dive to the outside to hit McIntyre, but his foot got stuck in between the top and middle rope leaving all involved baffled as to what do, the ref included.

McIntyre eventually figured out he needed to raise Priest upwards to release the rope and normal service resumed, but it was now McIntyre on the assertive, scoring a two-count with a future shock DDT.

Priest's ankle was giving him all kinds of problems, but he kept performing valiantly. Seemed like a legit injury.

Fans were hopeful that McIntyre would earn his moment and begin his third world title run

As McIntyre dominated, the referee took a bump off the apron which allowed CM Punk to enter the ring as a referee and give a two count only to stare at Drew and take great delight in not counting the three.

Punk would low blow McIntyre allowing for Priest to hit a chokeslam and what felt like the longest 1-2-3 ever.
