(1) GUNTHER vs. JEY USO – World Heavyweight Title match

Salvatore Ganacci of “Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves” came out surrounded by dancers briefly. Then Jey Uso’s music played and he made his entrance. During Jey’s long entrance, they noted music producer Rick Rubin was in the front row. They showed Turki Al-Sheikh in the front row, the Chairman of Kingdom Saudi Arabia GEA. Cole noted Jey is 0-6 in world title matches in his career and 0-3 against Gunther. The bell rang 19 minutes into the hour.

They locked up. Gunther pushed Jey into the corner and chopped him. Jey countered with a right roundhouse punch. Gunther bailed out to ringside. Gunther returned to the ring and took Jey down into a side headlock. Fans chanted “Uso!” Uso ducked Gunther and then bodyslammed him. He landed an enzuigiri, but Gunther chopped Jey off the top rope, sending him to the floor. Barrett said Gunther dominated Jey before and all that’s changed are a couple “fired up speeches” by Jey, but now Gunther is dominating Jey again. Jey speared Gunther seconds later for a two count.

Jey countered a Gunther powerbomb and took Gunther down with a Samoan drop. Both were slow to get up. Jey climbed to the top rope, but Gunther threw him to the mat and then hit a dinosaur dropkick and a powerbomb for a two count at 8:00. Jey head scissored out of another powerbomb attempt and landed a top rope Uso Splash for a very near fall.

Gunther went to ringside and grabbed his title belt, threatening to leave in frustration. He redirected the ref and bashed Jey in the head with a belt as Jey was diving at him. He then landed a top rope splash for a near fall. “How in the hell is there anything left in Jey Uso?” Gunther applied a sleeper next.

At 13:00, they exchanges chops and big swings mid-ring. Gunther kicked Jey in the face, but Jey came back with a launched lariat. Barrett said Jey looked like a man possessed. Gunther put Jey in a sleeper, but Jey suplexed out of it quickly. Both were slow to get up. Gunther landed a dinosaur dropkick a minute later. He went for a powerbomb, but Jey countered and landed his own powerbomb. Jey landed another Uso Splash minutes later. He quickly went for a second splash and landed it. He then went for a third and landed it on Gunther’s back. “Does Jey Uso have a chance for the upset of the year?!” Cole asked. Jey then put Gunther in a sleeper. Gunther tapped.

Jey celebrated. Jimmy joined him. Fans were yeeting. They roared with cheers as Jimmy hugged Jey. Cole said the twin brothers have had their problems and have battled each other and been at each other’s sides. He said Jimmy is there to present Jey with “the most coveted prize, the World Heavyweight Championship.” He said Rikishi can call his son World Heavyweight Champion.

WINNER: Jey Uso 16:00 to capture the World Heavyweight Championship.

(Very good match. Pretty much precisely what you’d expect from these two. Wisely, they didn’t go 20-plus minutes as they’re in the opening spot and going longer to create an “epic” length match wouldn’t have served any purpose in the larger scheme of the show.)

(2) THE WAR RAIDERS (Erik & Ivar) vs. THE NEW DAY (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods)

New Day came out in Giant Gonzalez-style airbrushed body suits. Cole said Xavier is 0-6 and Kofi just 2-13 at WrestleMania. The War Raiders came out next. The bell rang 53 minutes into the hour. New Day dominated the early minutes. Ivar made a comeback at at 5:00, but Xavier yanked him off the top rope and took over again. Erik saved Ivar from a double-team spot by New Day. Kingston knocked Erik out of the ring with Trouble in Paradise.

Ivar landed a Doomsday Moonsault (and barely cleared not landing on his head as his boots’ grip on the top rope didn’t seem great as he launched). Kingston landed an elbow to the back of Ivar to break up the cover. Kingston draped his arm over Ivar for a two count. The announcers commented on Ivar slipping on the top rope when he launched. (That could’ve been really bad.)

Kofi knocked Ivar off the middle rope as he was going for a double-team move. Xavier double-stomped Ivar as Kingston held him prone over his knee and scored a three count.

WINNERS: New Day in 9:00 to capture the World Tag Team Titles.
