Roman Reigns retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins, ending a long-standing rivalry and cementing his dominance over the former Shield member. The match featured intense callbacks to their past, with Reigns securing a decisive victory after a grueling contest. Rollins’ future remains uncertain, though he signaled closure by fist-bumping Reigns post-match.

The Undisputed WWE Championship No. 1 Contender’s match saw Kevin Owens return after 17 months, ousting Sami Zayn and reigniting his path to a title shot against CM Punk. Owens’ surprise return shifted SmackDown’s landscape, setting up potential clashes with Punk, a rivalry teased before the 2025 Royal Rumble. Chad Gable claimed the Intercontinental Championship by submitting Penta, concluding his yearlong character arc as El Grande Americano. His technical mastery neutralized Penta’s offense, securing his first singles title.

Meanwhile, Baron Corbin returned to win the U.S. Championship, and Oba Femi, King of the Ring winner, emerged as Reigns’ looming threat. The event reshaped title dynamics, with Reigns’ Bloodline still a factor and new contenders like Femi poised to challenge his reign. The night underscored WWE’s evolving narrative, blending legacy rivalries and fresh storylines.
