WWE Tag Team Championship: The Street Profits (c) v Fraxiom

The high-flying, charismatic champions, The Street Profits, put their coveted WWE Tag Team Championship on the line against the unpredictable force that is Fraxiom. Known for their dazzling athleticism and crowd-pleasing energy, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins face a singular, unconventional challenge.

Fraxiom, a name that's been generating significant buzz, brings an enigmatic presence and a style that could disrupt the champions' rhythm. Can the tag team specialists maintain their dominance, or will Fraxiom shock the WWE Universe and walk away with gold in a truly unique match-up?

Money In The Bank qualifier: Aleister Black v LA Knight v Shinsuke Nakamura

A high-stakes triple threat looms as Aleister Black, LA Knight, and Shinsuke Nakamura battle for a coveted spot in the Money In The Bank ladder match. Each competitor brings a distinct, dangerous style to the ring. Aleister Black's striking prowess and dark intensity make him a formidable opponent. LA Knight, always ready with a biting insult and a powerful offense, aims to back up his talk with a career-defining victory - but Shinsuke Nakamura's 'Strong Style' and unpredictable movements could be the wildcard.

With a shot at the Money In The Bank contract—and a guaranteed future championship opportunity—on the line, expect explosive action as all three men leave everything in the ring for this crucial qualifier. Or will The Miz and Carmelo Hayes somehow involve themselves in Black’s business this week?
