Pre-Show Arrivals
The camera catches the arrival of some of tonight's key players! Sami Zayn is spotted, primed for his clash against the formidable Bron Breakker. "Main Event" Jey Uso is also in the building, ready to go head-to-head with "Big" Bronson Reed. And the enigmatic Penta makes his entrance, preparing for a high-stakes encounter with Seth Rollins. Finally, The Judgment Day arrives, making a statement with their newest, intriguing member, Roxanne Perez.
Seth Rollins and His Crew Lay Out Their Plans for the Night!
"BURN IT DOWN!" echoes through the arena as Seth Rollins makes his grand entrance, flanked by WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman, who proudly clutches the coveted Money in the Bank briefcase, and his imposing allies, Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed. The Providence crowd roars, passionately singing Rollins' theme song, as anticipation builds for his upcoming Saturday Night's Main Event battle against LA Knight.
Rollins extends a hand, signaling for the microphone, but Heyman hesitates. Before Heyman can pass it over, Bron Breakker boldly snatches the mic, leaving everyone in the ring visibly bewildered. The crowd erupts with barks of approval for Breakker! He declares his presence in the ring is thanks to the vision of Seth Rollins and "The Wise Man" Paul Heyman, who see him as the future face of WWE for the next two decades. But Breakker also has a vision—a WWE without Sami Zayn! A chorus of boos rains down as Breakker's voice cracks with intensity. He slams the ropes in frustration, declaring his disdain for Zayn's "ugly face," "stupid beard," and even his entrance music! A "Sami" chant ignites through the arena, further fueling Breakker's fury. He questions why anyone cheers for someone with the "athletic ability of a dead fish," someone who "has never played sports and doesn't go to the gym." Breakker dismisses Zayn as someone "hanging on for dear life," promising to put an "expiration date" on his career tonight. He vows to "maul" Zayn if he dares to step into the ring, ensuring Zayn will be "looking at the lights" by the end of their encounter!
Heyman cautiously reclaims the microphone from a seething Breakker, as the "Sami" chants intensify. Heyman then hands the mic to Rollins, who, with a cackle, asks Breakker if he's "good." Breakker remains stone-faced. "Big" Bronson Reed then motions for the microphone, as a light "CM Punk" chant ripples through the crowd. Reed acknowledges Breakker's tough act to follow, but asserts his own presence. He reminds everyone that he's the man who delivered six "Tsunamis" to Rollins, earning his respect and a place in this powerful faction. Reed declares that his vision will bring him the respect he deserves, a respect he believes Jey Uso doesn't have. The crowd explodes with loud "YEET!" chants! Reed confidently proclaims he will "Tsunami" respect into Uso tonight, just as he did to Seth "Freakin'" Rollins!
Rollins takes the microphone back, then passes it to Heyman. "Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman. Tonight, the empire strikes back," Heyman corrects himself with a smile. "No, that was a blooper. Tonight, the empire will strike FIRST!" Heyman states that first on their hit list is Sami Zayn. He won't attempt to follow Breakker's intense promo, warning Zayn that if he hasn't "hightailed it back to Montreal, it's his ass, not Heyman's!" Next up, Bronson Reed will face Jey Uso. Heyman expresses a surprising "love" for his former Bloodline member, Jey Uso, but boldly asserts that Roman Reigns lacks the "balls" to return and confront them. An "OTC" chant starts up, prompting Heyman to declare the "OTC is MIA!" He promises that after tonight, Jey Uso will also be "MIA," thanks to the "Master of the Tsunami," Bronson Reed! The biggest news, Heyman proclaims, is that Seth Rollins, the man who "pinned Roman Reigns in the Main Event of WrestleMania," will step into the ring against Penta! Heyman speaks a few words in Spanish before comically admitting he doesn't understand Penta's enigmatic hand signals. He confidently predicts that by the time Rollins "Stomps" Penta into the mat tonight, Penta "will be in no shape to do those hand signals ever again! That's not a prediction. That's a SPOILER!"
Heyman hands the microphone back to Rollins as a "CM Punk" chant briefly resurfaces. Rollins declares that everything has been covered, leaving only one thing left to say: "Providence, welcome to MONDAY NIGHT ROLLINS!" Rollins and his formidable group then exit the ring, leaving a definitive statement in their wake.
Replay: World Tag Team Championship Shake-Up!
A replay reminds us of last Monday on Raw, where The Judgment Day sensationally defeated The New Day to capture the World Tag Team Championship!
The Judgment Day Clubhouse – A Memorial and a Warning!
Inside the Judgment Day Clubhouse, Finn Bálor admires the array of championship belts adorning their lair. Suddenly, Raquel Rodriguez storms in, demanding to know what's going on. A somber memorial has been set up for Liv Morgan! Rodriguez furiously reminds them that Morgan is "still alive" and "rehabbing every day," vowing she'll be "back soon!" Bálor reminds her of his own lengthy recovery from a shoulder injury. Rodriguez retorts that it would have been a "prettier picture" if they had retained their Tag Team Titles at Evolution. She then turns her attention to Roxanne Perez, urging her to make good on her promise and defeat Kairi Sane. Perez confidently replies, "I've got you, partner!" Rodriguez quickly adds, "It's too soon," before crossing herself and blowing a kiss toward Morgan's picture. They exit the clubhouse.
JD McDonagh then approaches Bálor, inquiring about their plans. Bálor shrugs, admitting he doesn't know. McDonagh suggests they visit Raw General Manager Adam Pearce's office, just down the hall. Bálor likes the idea. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio then points to a cake, thanking them for it. To his surprise, they deny bringing it and leave. The cake reads, "Get well soon, Dom. From, AJ." Suddenly, AJ Styles emerges from the shadows, making a subtle "watching you" motion towards Mysterio. Mysterio, flustered, mutters about having a "doctor's note" as Styles vanishes into thin air!
In the arena, the fierce Kairi Sane makes her entrance, ready for battle against the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion, Roxanne Perez!

Replay: Kross's Vicious Attack on Zayn

Backstage Interview with Sami Zayn and a Glimpse of Scarlett's Intentions

Zayn admits he has "too much on his plate." He wishes he could focus on his injured ribs, but he can't. He'd love to pay more attention to Karrion Kross, who is "probably lurking around." But right now, all he can think about is Bron Breakker. He declares he doesn't care if Breakker likes him, his music, or his beard – Breakker is a "dangerous man," and Zayn has to concentrate solely on him. Zayn walks off with a determined expression.
Just as Zayn leaves, Scarlett emerges, approaching Jackie Redmond. Redmond asks if she has anything to say, but Scarlett simply replies, "No," her gaze intently fixed in the direction Zayn just departed. A chilling silence hangs in the air.

Lynch then asserts that from Adam Pearce's perspective, she's the "greatest female wrestler who has ever lived," citing Sports Illustrated. She's "done so much," making her essential for Evolution. She defeated Bayley. She defeated Lyra Valkyria. Therefore, neither of them deserves an opportunity; she deserves to pick her own opponent, just as others have for major shows!

Lynch brushes it off, claiming there wasn't much hesitation. Lynch then turns her attention to Bayley, asserting that Bayley is "everything she's pretending to be." Valkyria fires back, proclaiming that Lynch "can't get in her head anymore!" Valkyria agrees with Lynch that Bayley doesn't care about friendship when championship gold is on the line, adding that this makes Bayley "just like Lynch!" Valkyria declares she knows what she has to do on Sunday: "rescue the championship from two massive disappointments!"
Bayley then launches into a passionate speech, stating she "sat front row" when Valkyria was the "first-ever Women’s Intercontinental Champion." She witnessed Valkyria "put in the work" during the Tag Tournament leading to WrestleMania. But then, Bayley laments, she watched Valkyria "lose that championship and raise Lynch’s hand 'like a little bitch!'" This final insult ignites the fuse!
