Team Ripley & Team Morgan SegmentÂ
Rhea Ripley: You know, I know it’s obvious, not everyone on this team are the best of friends. But honestly, none of that matters. Because tomorrow night, we all step into one of the most dangerous matches here in the WWE. War Games. And we all have someone that we want to get our hands on. So, tomorrow night, this all ends. When we step into that steel cage, no one is going to be able to stop us from absolutely brutalizing those women. I mean, think about, guys. Think about it for a second. Think about everything that they’ve done to us. Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton, Candice LeRae.
Naomi: That’s right, Big Momma. Because Nia Jax and her little lap dogs are going to get everything that they deserve and then some. Because they have been nothing but a pain in me and Bayley’s side. And I promise you, and I promise y’all, not only will the glow be felt, oh, it’s going to be dealt.
Bianca BelAir:Â Yep. Yep. Because Naomi, you and I both know that one of them took our girl, Jade Cargill, out last week. Now, I don’t know which one it was, so tomorrow night, all five of them can get it.
Rhea Ripley: Liv Morgan, you are going to wish that you never met me.
Iyo Sky: We will destroy you.
Liv Morgan:Â You know, it’s funny, it’s so funny how confident you guys are, that you are going to beat us tomorrow night.
Nia Jax: I mean, Bianca, did you have a brain fart, and forget that Bayley and Iyo tortured you for years. Or Bayley, don’t you remember that Iyo stabbed you in the back before WrestleMania, with all of your friends. Whatever we’ve done has not even come close to the issues that you guys have. You are all going to implode before you get to the ring, you big losers.
Naomi: Nia, girl, shut up. For real. You got way bigger problems, like us.
Bayley:Â That’s true. You’re one to talk, Nia, I mean, you have manipulating little Tiffany Stratton over there from day one, and she’s way too naive to say it. And I would also watch out for Candice, she knows her way around the ring in the business, so she’s not going to fall for it. So, it looks like after WarGames, you might not have any friends, will you?
Nia Jax: Bayley, you’re an expert at no friends, you big idiot.
Liv Morgan: Good one. And please, we are a united front, so you can stop trying to manipulate us now, Bayley. Because you lost your touch, and you’re not really good at it anymore. However, I do think it’s really interesting how Jade gets attacked, and now all of a sudden, you’re on the War Games team.
Rhea Ripley: Liv, shut up. Stop wasting everyone’s time. Soon, you’re not going to be able to hide behind anyone, because when you step into that ring, into those cages, there’s nowhere to run, and you will have to face me.
Liv Morgan: You know what, Rhea? You’re right. You’re right. That’s why I’m going to put my money where my mouth is and finish the job that I started when I break your face in that steel cage, tomorrow night.
Rhea Ripley: Sweet naive, Liv. I’m going to cave your face in so badly, that the love of your life, Dominik Mysterio, he’s not even going to want to look at you.
Liv Morgan: No, no, no, nice try. I know what you’re doing there, but we’ll see you guys, tomorrow night. We’re leaving. Bye. Goodbye.
Rhea Ripley: You know what? I hate waiting.
Team Ripley and Team Morgan gets into a massive pier six brawl on the stage to close this segment.

Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura via PinfallÂ
– Nick Aldis informs The Bloodline that they are all barred from ringside during tonight’s main event with Jey Uso and Jacob Fatu. Solo believes in Jacob. He’ll get the job done.
– Coming out of the commercial break, Tommaso Ciampa is yelling at Johnny Gargano in the backstage area. He doesn’t want to be a loser. Ciampa doesn’t give a damn if Alex Shelley was Gargano’s mentor back in the day. It seems Gargano’s relationship with MCMG is more important than DIY recapturing the WWE Tag Team Titles. Ciampa is going to stick to his plan whether Gargano likes it or not. Gargano has one more week to get his stuff together.
Kevin Owens PromoÂ
There are people out there who are still on Cody Rhodes side. So, let me explain to you, why I’m right. January 1st, 2021, Roman Reigns and his cousin assaulted me, 2 on 1, and throw me off a 15-foot scaffold thing through multiple tables, but I got up. January 31st, 2021, Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns runs me over with a golf cart, but I got up. January 28, 2023, again at the Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns orders for me to get SuperKicked over and over and over and over, again. And for that one, Cody Rhodes was in the building, but he was nowhere to be found. But you know where he was, at Bad Blood, this year, when Roman Reigns needed somebody? Right there by his side. And that’s just three of the dozens of examples I could’ve used to show you that Cody Rhodes deserves everything that’s coming to him at Saturday Night’s Main Event, when I turn The American Nightmare into The Canadian Dream.
Second Match: Cody Rhodes vs. Carmelo HayesÂ
Carmelo Hayes: Hey, Cody, you know what? Kevin was right, you did turn your back on him, because let’s be real. You’re not the guy to stab a guy in the back, we know that, but you’re the guy to stab someone right in the heart. Because who needs enemies when you have friends like Cody Rhodes? So, Cody, you want to evaluate me, you want to evaluate the first round draft pick? Well, you’re going to learn that this evaluation is only going to find out one thing, and that’s exactly why I am HIM.

CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman Segment
Roman Reigns: Wiseman.
Paul Heyman: Yes, my Tribal Chief?
Roman Reigns: Where is he?
Paul Heyman: I don’t know, my Tribal Chief.
Roman Reigns: This guy keeps me waiting. That doesn’t work for me.
CM Punk: I don’t have a whole lot of time.
Roman Reigns: Good thing you showed up late.
CM Punk: I didn’t show up for you, I showed up for Paul Heyman, your wiseman.
Roman Reigns: That’s good, but let’s get one thing straight. I don’t need your help.
CM Punk: I figured you’d feel that way. I don’t necessarily want to give you any help at all. I’m not here for you, I’m here for Paul.
Roman Reigns: I’m happy for you guys, I really am. I don’t like your tone. I don’t like your attitude. I don’t like you. And I damn sure don’t want to team with you at War Games, tomorrow night.
Paul Heyman: My Tribal Chief, Solo has had us in checkmate since the Friday after WrestleMania. If we don’t accept his help, it’s over. In all fairness, if you don’t help tomorrow night, and Solo turns back Roman Reigns, and puts an end to The Bloodline, you’re next. Solo is going to come after you. All five are going to come after you. Not just because of this, because Solo knows you’re the threat. I say this respectfully to the both of you, divided, we all fall to Solo. United, at best, we survive.
CM Punk: You don’t like my attitude, I don’t care. I don’t like you; it doesn’t matter. I’m not here for you, I’m here for Paul. You want your Ula Fala back? I want my scalps; I want my revenge for what Solo and his crew did to my friend. If we survive War Games, and you want to revisit this conversation, me and you, I’m all ears.
Roman Reigns: One time.
CM Punk: One time. One favor.
Roman Reigns: I owe you a favor?
CM Punk: No. No, you don’t owe me anything. My friend, our wiseman will owe me a favor.
Roman Reigns: Wiseman.
Paul Heyman: Yes, my Tribal Chief.
Roman Reigns: What’s the favor?
Paul Heyman: My Tribal Chief, let’s get through War Games, tomorrow night, and then we will have all the time in the world to talk about it.
