CM Punk opened this episode by addressing Adam Pearce to ask him to lift Drew McIntyre’s suspension so he could face him under any circumstances, after all the times he has taken it upon himself to harm him, and to make it clear to him that actions have consequences. However, he was interrupted by a Seth Rollins who appeared quite upset because his vendetta ended up harming him at WWE Money In The Bank 2024 .

“The Visionary” aspires to be WWE World Heavyweight Champion, there is no empty dream in that, and CM Punk took away his chance to fulfill it. For that reason, Rollins now had to take something away from Punk and confessed that he will not allow him to get close to Drew McIntyre while he is on guard. Seth could beat Punk up right now, but he knew that his fragile body is not at one hundred percent. Still, Rollins threatened Punk to wait for his medical discharge only to send him back to the rack.

Backstage, Dominik Mysterio tells Adam Pearce that he doesn’t agree with teaming with Liv Morgan. The General Manager won’t let him skip the match because he’s been happy to be involved in the last few Women’s World Title matches; that match is signed and set. Liv Morgan approaches Dom , who has no choice but to agree to team with the champion, but he must ensure that they win. Morgan suggests they talk strategy so they’re ready for the match.
