Women’s Tag Team Title: Ripley & IYO SKY retain
Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY successfully defended the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship against The Judgment Day’s Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez. The defence reinforced Ripley and SKY’s position atop the tag division and kept their momentum intact as the company moves toward the Royal Rumble. The victory continued the champions’ recent run of high‑profile defences.
Fatal 4‑Way for a title shot: Zayn emerges as number one contender
A frantic Fatal 4‑Way saw Randy Orton, Sami Zayn, Damian Priest and Trick Williams collide for a shot at Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre at Royal Rumble. Out of the four competitors, Sami Zayn capitalised, landing a Helluva Kick on Damian Priest to secure the pinfall and earn the title match next Saturday. Zayn’s victory alters the championship narrative and sets up what promises to be a high‑stakes encounter with McIntyre.
Rhodes, Fatu and the closing chapter for Styles vs Nakamura
The show also advanced several personal storylines. Jacob Fatu attacked Cody Rhodes in the entranceway, escalating a feud that follows Rhodes’ loss to Drew McIntyre in a Three Stages of Hell match earlier in January. That altercation hints at more confrontations to come. Meanwhile, AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura delivered what was billed as the final chapter in their long rivalry — a match praised for tight action, effective selling and a respectful finish that showcased both competitors one last time before the Rumble.
