When Bianca Belair turned her attention toward an advancing Becky, Banks climbed into the ring and attacked The EST of WWE from behind, lighting the fuse an all-out brawl. The EST of WWE got the best of both her WWE Crown Jewel opponents when she picked up both Superstars on her shoulders and K.O.D.-ed The Man into The Boss and through the table.
Sami Zayn def. Rey Mysterio to advance to the Semifinals of the King of the Ring Tournament
A disgruntled Dominik Mysterio opted to hang in the backsage area while his dad Rey Mysterio battled Sami Zayn in the opening match of the 2021 King of the Ring Tournament. Dominik soon emerged, however, and when Zayn attempted to untie the turnbuckle to use against his father, the young Mysterio climbed up on the apron to tie it back up. This caused a distraction that allowed The Master Strategist to roll up Rey in the final moments and advance to the Semifinals.

Roman Reigns questioned Paul Heyman
Although Universal Champion Roman Reigns told the WWE Universe to acknowledge Paul Heyman for making sure The Usos were drafted to SmackDown, The Head of the Table also insisted that his Special Counsel come clean on whether he used the same negotiating skills to make sure Brock Lesnar became a free agent.
As Heyman pleaded his case for why he would never do such a thing, though, the Universal Champion shifted gears and demanded that his "Wiseman" look into the camera and explain to Lesnar why Reigns would defeat The Beast at WWE Crown Jewel. In turn, Heyman delivered a very personal address to Lesnar and stated that Reigns would absolutely triumph at the Oct. 21 special event.
