JD McDonagh

Summary

Finn Bálor defeated JD McDonagh in a relatively short main event match that never fully reached a high gear. Before the bell even rang, Bálor took control by attacking McDonagh around the ring and into the crowd, setting an aggressive tone. Once the match officially started, Bálor pushed for a quick finish, but McDonagh managed to counter early and briefly shift momentum. The turning point came when McDonagh attempted a moonsault, only for Bálor to counter by getting his knees up. That opened the door for Bálor to hit his signature Coup de Grace and secure the win. After the match, Dominik Mysterio attacked Bálor, continuing their ongoing storyline, though the post-match angle felt unnecessary and didn’t add much intrigue.

Summary

This Intercontinental Championship ladder match was absolute chaos in the best possible way—six guys, one title, and a ring that basically turned into demolition derby. It kicked off at full speed with high-flying offense and immediate ladder spots, but things escalated once Rusev started clearing bodies and tossing people around like lawn furniture. Rey Mysterio brought the vintage fire with a 619 and clever ring awareness, while Dragon Lee and JD McDonagh kept things violent up top, including a wild Spanish Fly off a ladder that had the crowd fully locked in. Je’Von Evans had his breakout “nearly there” moment, climbing the ladder twice and almost stealing the win before getting yanked down at the last second. Rusev looked like he had it sealed after mowing everyone down and slowly climbing, but Evans wiped him out with a massive OG Cutter from the top rope off the ladder in one of the wildest spots of the match. From there, it turned into pure survival mode. Bodies everywhere, ladders wrecked, and Penta finally re-emerging at the perfect time. After surviving multiple finishers—including a brutal Mexican Destroyer on McDonagh off a ladder—Penta capitalized on the chaos, hit another Destroyer on Evans, and climbed to retain his Intercontinental Championship in a legit instant classic.

Summary

This one started exactly like you’d expect with Je’Von Evans and Dragon Lee trying to turn it into a sprint from the opening bell. Quick tags, fast angles, and constant motion kept Rusev and JD McDonagh from settling in early. McDonagh did his part to slow things down with smart positioning and taking advantage of brief openings, but the pace still leaned heavily toward Evans and Lee for most of the first stretch. The match really shifted when Rusev finally got extended time in the ring—he didn’t just clean house, he completely changed the tone, blasting through both opponents and cutting off any momentum they had built. But here’s where it flipped in a different direction than expected: despite Rusev’s dominance during that surge, his team didn’t actually close it out. Evans and Lee found their opening late, capitalizing on timing and movement to steal the win in a scramble finish that caught McDonagh out of position while Rusev was still clearing the ring. It was less about outpowering Rusev and more about surviving his run and slipping through the cracks he left behind. And even though Rusev came up on the losing end officially, he didn’t leave it there. After the bell, he snapped—flattening both Evans and Lee with a brutal post-match assault that erased any sense of celebration. The win went to the speed guys, but Rusev walked out looking like the most dangerous person in the match anyway.

Summary

This match never got started. Dirty Dom attacked Finn Balor on the ramp, they fought into the ring where Dom and JD got the best of Finn and stood tall. No match.
