Roman Reigns' victory means the following night's Undisputed WWE Universal championship match will be fought by 'Bloodline Rules', that implies anything goes and Reigns and Co are free to do anything they want to prevent Rhodes from winning.
Before that, Rhea Ripley retained her WWE Women’s World Championship title, pinning Becky Lynch to claim glory. Ripley had won the championship last year at Wrestlemania 39 against Charlotte Flair. Elsewhere, the pairing of Rey Mysterio and Andrade trounced Santos Escobar and Dominik Mysterio.
