On the other hand, Styles is looking to get a win to challenge Mysterio for the title.

As demanded by War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) last week, the former Tag Champions will battle American Made (Julius & Brutus Creed) in a tag team match; the winner of the match will challenge the current WWE World Tag Team Champions, the New Day (Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston).

Iyo Sky & Rhea Ripley vs Roxanne Perez & Giulia

Following weeks of sneak attacks and confrontation, Women’s World Champion Iyo Sky will team up with Rhea Ripley to shut down the newcomers from NXT, Roxanne Perez and Giulia. Regardless of the outcome, the match is sure to put Perez and Giulia on the map among WWE fans worldwide.

CM Punk to appear

As announced during Backlash 2025, ‘The Second City Saint’ CM Punk will return to address the WWE Universe for the first time since WrestleMania 41, where Paul Heyman turned on him and then on Roman Reigns to align with Seth Rollins. Punk made his return last week, costing Rollins the World title match against Jey Uso.
