Before the match, Raquel Rodriguez was attacked by WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, suffering a leg injury at the hands of "Mami."

Deville locked on the single-leg Boston crab on Rodriguez early, attempting to submit the champion, with Rodriguez’s leg not at 100 percent. After an excruciating time, Morgan was able to break up the submission.

Morgan hit the Oblivion on Green, but Deville landed a huge knee strike on Morgan at the last minute to keep her team alive. 

The Unprettier from Green to Morgan almost signaled new champions, but Morgan continued to fight. The second Unprettier from Green followed by a knee strike by Deville to Morgan gave way to crowning the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion.

In a Viking Rules Match where there are no rules, The Viking Raiders took on Alpha Academy with WWE Warrior Award winner Titus O’Neil providing guest commentary.

Otis told Chad Gable to “get the tables!” before they were thwarted by a Viking Raiders attack. Otis shrugged off an Ivar splash, however, as he caught him with a powerslam, which erupted the Atlanta crowd. 

With Viking shields scattered across the ring, Ivar hit an otherworldly moonsault on Otis before Gable landed a moonsault of his own. Gable followed this up with a huge Chaos Theory German Suplex on Ivar that nearly gave Alpha Academy the win.

With Hot-lanta rocking, Maxxine Dupri was able to fend off Valhalla, who interfered. Dupri then received her varsity jacket from Gable, but her celebrations were cut in half, literally, as she was driven through a table by Valhalla.

Even with Otis roaring his way through Erik and Ivar, Valhalla creeped in again, hitting Otis while he was on the top rope and allowing Erik and Ivar to execute the Viking Experience to gain the win.

Before the match, Seth “Freakin” Rollins attacked Finn Bálor to take him out of the bout. 

"Mami" was still ringside, and she distracted Sami Zayn long enough for Damian Priest to plant him on the ring apron with a Chokeslam. 

Zayn tagged in KO, who was a house on fire, obliterating Priest and Dominik Mysterio with clotheslines and frog splashes. KO followed up with a Cannonball on Señor Money in the Bank, but his Swanton Bomb attempt was met with hard knees to the back. 

A 619 attempt from Dominik to Zayn backfired, leading to KO and Sami diving onto their opponents, stopping at nothing to retain their titles. 

As the match broke down, Liv Morgan emerged to attack Ripley, allowing Owens to hit the Stunner on Priest and for Zayn to execute the Helluva Kick on Dirty Dom to retain the gold.
