At ringside, Teshitoa and Wade Barrett discussed the upcoming night.
WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch has created an entrance featured by ring announcer Mark Nash. Becky Lynch recalled that he began promoting it, saying it was his first live WWE show from Dublin and coming to the building as a fan. She recalls Randy Orton making eye contact with her many years ago and says it changed her life, and at the time she dreamed of WWE TV coming to the arena. But now that it’s finally happened, Becky even revealed that he told the crowd he didn’t deserve it and even petitioned the show to cancel.
Fans turned her on and chanted Laila Valkyria. Becky fought back, reminding him of the regulations from the final match. She humiliated the crowd by saying that none of them had a TV face and insisted that they weren’t grateful to her. Becky declared she was their hero, but she said she was actually disappointed with them. She achieved her accomplishments. She won her first woman in the main event at WrestleMania, became the bestselling author, Grand Slam champion, and boasted about having a “very hot American husband.” She compared herself to a well-known Irish figure and dismissed Oscar Wilde and James Joyce as “losers.”
Becky said she deserves a parade, statue or mural in her honor. When fans chanted the commercial punk, she brushed it off and complained that she didn’t see her face not being celebrated as she went home and walked through the airport. Instead, she looks at rugby players and Katie Taylor. She called him a big deal and told him to take off her sunglasses indoors and chuckle Bono. When Tiffany Stratton’s music hit, her rant stopped and she headed for the ring.
Becky returns to the Dublin crowd and says he cheers on Tiffany and makes her sick. Tiffany immediately fires and asks how Becky can talk to her people. She tells Becky that she was on the wrong show and that everyone in Dublin knows what time it was. Tiffany tells “Rebecca” to leave and warns her that if she doesn’t, she will let her go.
Before things escalated, Near Jax’s music hit and she hit the ring. Nia asks Tiffany why she worried about Becky before destroying Dublin and saying that Tiffany had bigger problems. Nia then dropped Tiffany with a punch and followed up with a kick.
Becky quickly joined the attack, but Jade Cargill’s music exploded and she ran into the ring. Jade was dropped off in the NIA with her forearms and a big bike kick, sending her to the floor. Becky creeps up to Jade, but when Jade turns around, Becky retreates. Tiffany recovers and knocks her out of the apron by hitting Nia’s dropkick, and Becky retreates to the floor.
When chaos broke out, Smackdown GM Nick Aldis came out. He said he was excited to have Becky in Dublin, but she had already spoken to Adam Pierce because she had involved herself. Aldis has announced the match between Jade Cargill and Tiffany Stratton vs. Becky Lynch and Nia Jax improvised tag teams.
When Axiom and Nathan Frazer stopped him, Carmelo Hayes was shown walking behind the scenes. Axiom told Hayes he was great last week, but Frazer cut it and told Melo’s partner had stole the spotlight by calling Miz a schemer.
Miz then appears and tries to remind them who he is. Before he could go any further, Hayes spoke, pointing out Miz’s achievements and saying that he has been watching him since he was a child. Hayes said the reason Miz is still around is because he is smarter than anyone else. That’s exactly why they’re in this position now.

Miz cut him off with his knee from the apron, allowing Hayes to drive him to the horns. Miz was tagged, preventing Alex from reaching Sabin, but Alex kicks Miz out long enough for Sabin to get the hot tag.
Sabin fired and fired with a crossbody, punch, Irish whip, elbow, snap mares and a tornado DDT. Miz sent him to the apron, but Alex was back and tagged. Sabin caught Miz on a sunset flip and set him up for Alex’s thrust kick, followed by a twist of two. The gun hits the dream sequence with Hayes, and Sabin was tagged again and kicks Miz.

John Cena is back
John Cena loudly chants of “Cena” echoed through the arena, creating an entrance to huge applause. As he was about to speak on the microphone, Logan Paul’s music hit, and he interrupted and slashed Cena off before he could say the word.
Logan Paul said it was a good thing to be back in England and humiliated the crowd by calling the Irish “drunk, washed-down failures.” He added that if he spits in their faces they would not do anything about it. Logan Paul told John Cena that he keeps him authentic, calls him a “professional pretender” and an actor who knows how to wrestle. He said he is tired of being called rude and outsider and pointed out that he has been in WWE for four years. Logan said Cena is nothing more than a company pawn that does whatever her boss wants. He laughed at Cena for making “the same five moves for 23 years” and said that the real con man was the one who left WWE to someone else and was someone who remained loyal to himself. Logan closes saying he can’t wait to face Parisian China as WWE is now his home.

He admitted that he and his fans didn’t always agree, but he knew he was the man of his words. Cena called the Paris conflict the most important match of Logan’s life.
He said that Logan knows the fuss, but knows nothing about loyalty and respect. This isn’t Logan’s house, Cena said, it’s the world of the WWE universe. He jokes about Logan, who already has enough legal issues, because his opponent is the best ever. If Logan thinks he can appear as a “back flapping YouTuber selling salt water,” Cena has promised to beat “love Sitte” from him.
