Women’s Championship: Jade Cargill vs. Rhea Ripley
Jade Cargill defends the WWE Women’s Championship against Rhea Ripley. WWE have been pushing Cargill as hard as possible since she signed, but Ripley’s résumé speaks for itself: she won the Women’s World Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia and has been one of the most consistently over acts in WWE since 2023, so this could go either way.
Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match
The six-man Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match features a slew of quality midcard talent:
- Penta (c) – AAA legend, current IC Champion
- Je’Von Evans – breakout NXT star that is now on the main roster
- Dragon Lee – main roster lucha standout
- JD McDonagh – Judgment Day stalwart
- Rusev (Miro) – the hoss of the match
- Rey Mysterio – WWE Hall of Famer, chasing one final Intercontinental title
United States Championship: Sami Zayn vs. Trick Williams
Sami Zayn puts the United States Championship on the line against the Trick Williams in what could be the sleeper match of the entire weekend.
Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi
Opening Night 2 on ESPN’s free hour, Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi is the big hoss battle of the weekend. Femi stands 6’4″ and competes at over 280 lbs, making him one of the few performers in WWE who can genuinely go toe-to-toe with Lesnar in a believable powerhouse showdown.
