CM Punk returns, faces Seth Rollins
As expected, the show started with Punk marking his return to the WWE roster. Punk did not waste any time and straight away targeted Paul Heyman for betraying him at the major event last month.
Soon after, Heyman marked his entry to the ring and was joined by Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker. After a few verbal attacks, Rollins fired back at Punk. But Punk ensured that Rollins will 'never be champion" till the time he stands in the ring. Thereafter, things turned physical as Rollins and Breakker started attacking Punk, before he was joined by Sami Zayn. Jey Uso also marked his presence to attack Rollins and his partners.
