“BURN IT DOWN!”
Seth Rollins heads to the ring alongside WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman, who is holding the Money in the Bank briefcase, Bron Breakker, and “Big” Bronson Reed. The crowd loudly sings Rollins’ theme. Rollins will battle LA Knight on Saturday Night’s Main Event this week.
Rollins extends a hand. Heyman goes to hand him the microphone, but Breakker walks through them and takes it himself. Everyone in the ring looks confused. The crowd barks for Breakker. Breakker says he is standing in this ring because Seth Rollins and “The Wise Man” Paul Heyman have a vision that has him as the face of WWE for the next two decades. Breakker also has a vision of a WWE without Sami Zayn. The crowd boos. Breakker doesn’t like Sami Zayn. He doesn’t like Zayn’s ugly face, his stupid beard, his music, or the fact that people sing it. Breakker’s voice cracks, and he slaps the ropes in frustration. A “Sami” chant fires up. Breakker says he will never understand why people will cheer for someone with the athletic ability of a dead fish. Zayn has never played sports and doesn’t go to the gym. Zayn is hanging on for dear life to hang on for another five years to squeeze the last bit of water from the rag. Sami Zayn has an expiration date, and Breakker will put a stamp on it tonight. Breakker promises that if Zayn walks down the ramp, he will maul him. Zayn will be looking at the lights by the end of it.
Heyman cautiously approaches Breakker and asks for the microphone. Breakker gives it to Heyman as the crowd chants, “Sami.” Heyman then gives the microphone to Rollins. Rollins asks if Breakker is good before cackling. Breakker is not in a laughing mood. “Big” Bronson Reed then motions for the microphone. A “CM Punk” chant lightly picks up. Reed says Breakker is a tough act to follow, but so is he. Reed says he’s the man who hit Rollins with six Tsunamis, hurting him so badly that it formed respect between them. Rollins brought him into this group and his vision. With that vision, he will get the respect that he deserves. Jey Uso does not respect Reed. The crowd loudly chants, “YEET!” Tonight, he will Tsunami the respect into Uso, just like he did to Seth “Freakin” Rollins.
Rollins takes the microphone back before giving it to Heyman. “Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman. Tonight, the empire strikes back.” Heyman says that was a blooper. Tonight, the empire will strike first. First on their list is Sami Zayn. Heyman won’t try to follow that promo. If Zayn hasn’t hightailed it back to Montreal, it’s his ass, not Heyman’s. Tonight, we’ll have Bronson Reed versus Jey Uso. Heyman has love for his former Bloodline member, Jey Uso, but Roman Reigns doesn’t have the balls to come back and step up against them. An “OTC” chant picks up. Heyman says the OTC is MIA. After tonight, Jey Uso will be MIA, all thanks to the Master of the Tsunami, Bronson Reed. The big news is that Seth Rollins, the man who pinned Roman Reigns in the Main Event of WrestleMania, will don the tights against Penta. Heyman speaks in Spanish before saying he doesn’t understand Penta’s hand signals. By the time he’s Stomped 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 to Rollins. A “CM Punk” chant picks up. Rollins says they covered everything, so there’s only one thing left to say: “Providence, welcome to Monday Night Rollins!” Rollins walks off with his group.

Rodriguez says Morgan is still alive and rehabbing every day. She’ll be back soon. Bálor reminds her that it took him a long time to come back from a shoulder injury. Rodriguez says it would be a prettier picture if they retained their Tag Team Titles at Evolution. She also says Roxanne Perez needs to do what she said she would do and beat Kairi Sane. Perez says, “I’ve got you, partner.” Rodriguez says it’s too soon before crossing herself and blowing a kiss to Morgan’s picture. They walk off.
JD McDonagh asks Bálor if he knows their plans. Bálor doesn’t know. McDonagh says Raw General Manager Adam Pearce’s office is right down the hall, and they should go over. Bálor likes it. “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio points to the cake and thanks them for getting it for him. They say they didn’t get it and leave. The cake says, “Get well soon, Dom. From, AJ.” AJ Styles emerges from the shadows and motions that he’s watching Mysterio. Mysterio says he has a doctor’s note, but Styles disappears.

In-Ring: Becky Lynch, Lyra Valkyria, Bayley
We've got a preview of WWE Evolution this Sunday! 👊 pic.twitter.com/jU2zOQa0er
— WWE (@WWE) July 8, 2025
WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch is in the ring. She wants to know how two losers who beat each other last week have a title match against her at Evolution? It’s a Triple Threat, so statistically, she’s at a disadvantage. Can someone explain how that works? Lynch gets it. From Adam Pearce’s perspective, she’s the greatest female wrestler who has ever lived. Sports Illustrated said it. She’s done so much. You need her on Evolution. She beat Bayley. She beat Lyra Valkyria. Neither deserves an opportunity. She deserves to pick her opponent. Others have for the show.
Lynch says it’s all a show, a ruse. Bayley and Lyra are in cahoots because they know that’s the only way they can get the title off each other. Last week, they pinned each other. Statistically, that’s a rarity in wrestling.
Bayley charges down to the ring with a microphone in hand. Before she can say anything, Lyra Valkyria makes her entrance and bumps Bayley on the way to the ring. Valkyria says her title is wrapped around the waist of someone who is crazy. It’s time she takes it back. Bayley gets in the ring and isn’t happy with Valkyria. Bayley says she’d have been champion if not for Valkyria two weeks ago. Valkyria sarcastically cannot believe Bayley is speaking to her. Bayley says she doesn’t need partners or friends. She does need that championship.
Lynch cackles and says it’s nice to see Bayley not trying so hard. Lynch says Valkyria dropped her like a hot potato. Valkyria says she wants to set the record straight. She didn’t bring Lynch back. Lynch called her after the attack at WrestleMania. Lynch says there wasn’t much hesitation. Lynch says Bayley is everything she’s pretending to be. Valkyria says Lynch can’t get in her head anymore. Valkyria says Lynch is right that Bayley doesn’t care about friendship when it comes to championship gold. That makes Bayley just like Lynch. Valkyria knows what she has to do on Sunday: rescue the championship from two massive disappointments.
Bayley says she sat front row when Valkyria was the first-ever Women’s Intercontinental Champion. When they had the Tag Tournament to get to WrestleMania, she saw Valkyria put in the work. Then, Bayley watched Valkyria lose that championship and raise Lynch’s hand “like a little bitch.” Valkyria strikes Lynch before brawling with Bayley. Valkyria knocks Bayley out of the ring and hits a Wrecking Ball Dropkick. Lynch goes for a Manhandle Slam on Valkyria, but Valkyria counters with a Nightwing. Bayley runs in, but Valkyria hits her with Nightwing. Valkyria picks up the title, talks trash to Lynch, and throws it back down. Valkyria stands tall and poses on the turnbuckles.

Breakker still got Zayn with three Spears. Paul Heyman walks in, looking sad. Heyman asks if they heard the news. Heyman says, “Sami Zayn is out of action indefinitely.” Heyman smiles, and they all celebrate. Rollins asks why Bronson Reed is laughing because Jey Uso is in perfectly fine health. Reed says he won’t be when he’s done with him. Reed walks off, and Rollins smiles.

It could be Goldberg’s final match… depending on whether he wins or not. A “Goldberg” chant fires up. Gunther says that at Saturday Night’s Main Event, he will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Bill Goldberg.
