John Cena Gets Sneak Attacked By Drew McIntyre

As expected, former WWE Undisputed Champion John Cena opened the show and addressed his situation with Brock Lesnar, who returned at SummerSlam 2025 and saw his speech interupted by Logal Paul. Paul challenged Cena for a match at Clash in Paris 2025 PLE, who got sneak-attacked by Drew McIntyre soon after, which saw Cody Rhodes come out and save the former champion. This set up a tag team match between Rhodes-Cena and Paul-McIntyre.

MFT Beats MCMG

In tag action as a prelude to Rhodes-Cena vs Paul-McIntyre, Talla Tonga and JC Mateo took on former champions Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin. MFT made quick work of MCMG, picking up a clean win, only for Solo Sikoa to come out and talk trash about Montreal. This saw Nick Aldis announce yet another impromptu match between Solo and local hero Sami Zayn.

Newly crowned women's tag team champions Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss have been on a roll, having defended their title last week.

But as usual, Chelsea Green and the Secret Hervice interupted the champions, setting up a match between the former and Flair.

As expected, Charlotte Flair showcased her in-ring superiority over Chelsea Green, who pulled out all the tricks in her book to earn a win. The match had moments where Green looked in control, but Flair is a 14-time champion, who made comebacks throughout the course of the contest.

Alexa Bliss thwarted interference from the Secret Hervice, while Green had her head smashed in the birthday cake by Flair, who picked up the win by submission after putting her opponent in Figure 8. WWE SummerSlam 2025 Night 2 Results: Brock Lesnar Returns To Attack John Cena, Cody Rhodes Claims WWE Undisputed Championship Back (Watch Video Highlights).
