Solo & Talla Tonga escaped, while JC Mateo & Tonga Loa got beat down. Adam Pearce came out and revealed that Solo was behind the whole accident and will pay for it by facing Jacob in a Steel Cage Match for the United States Championship at SummerSlam 2025.

– In the main event segment, Cody Rhodes came out and signed the contract for his Undisputed WWE Championship match at SummerSlam 2025. WWE Champion John Cena came out and delivered some bad news – he won’t be at SummerSlam because he’s filming a big Netflix movie and he’s emotionally exhausted. Cena said this is what’s best for business right now. Cena said he’ll give Cody his title match in Paris or in Perth, but not at SummerSlam. Cody attacked Cena. Cody hit Cena in the head with the WWE Title and put him through a table with the Frog Splash. Cody then forced Cena to sign the contract and revealed that their rematch at SummerSlam will be a Street Fight!
