Live Coverage.

  • Michael Cole & Corey Graves welcomed the audience to the broadcast before transitioning into the opening segment.
  • The show kicked off with WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax (with Tiffany Stratton) and WWE Women's World Champion Liv Morgan (with Raquel Rodriguez and Dominik Mysterio). After some arguing between Morgan and Jax, Stratton interrupted and said that while she could use some Dirty Dom (ew), she bowed that WWE Crown Jewel would be on Tiffy Time. Stratton and Morgan then argued, leading to Stratton dropping Morgan and making a match.
  • Liv Morgan (w/ Raquel Rodriguez & Dominik Mysterio) def. Tiffany Stratton (w/ Nia Jax) via Pinfall (Schoolboy Roll-Up)
    • Jax attacked Morgan after the match, hitting the Banzai Drop on Morgan.
  • Kevin Owens spoke in a video on his phone, saying he did not want to do any of this with Randy Orton. Owens said he respected Orton but was confused as to why Orton wanted to do this and said he would hurt Orton like he did to him and that would be Orton's fault.
  • Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford) (w/ B-Fab) def. Pretty Deadly (Elton Prince & Kit Wilson) via Pinfall (Doomsday Blockbuster).

  • Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso came to the ring for a promo. Jimmy implored Reigns to try and talk it out with Jey Uso ahead of their match against The Bloodline at WWE Crown Jewel, but that led to Jey Uso interrupting. Jey made it clear to Reigns that he would be willing to help Reigns & Jimmy but only if Reigns treated them as equals to one another so they can do the thing at Crown Jewel. After hearing the request, Reigns responded by answering "yeet" to Jey before they threw the ones in the sky.

  • The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa & Jacob Fatu) cut a promo backstage, where Sikoa said he was confused that he was considered the bad guy for choosing a family that trusted him while no one was there to help him because he was the one cleaning up the mess.

  • Randy Orton & Cody Rhodes def. IMPERIUM (Ludwig Kaiser & GUNTHER) via Pinfall (Cross Rhodes from Cody Rhodes on Kaiser).
