Dominik Mysterio battles Penta in an Intercontinental Title Match

Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio will take on Penta in Perth, Western Australia, with his title on the line. After winning the championship at WrestleMania, Mysterio has gone 2-0 against Penta when defending his title. Can Penta break that losing streak and take the Intercontinental Championship from Dirty Dom?

— We are live at the RAC Arena with Michael Cole introducing a video package to recap Crown Jewel..

— CM Punk, LA Knight, Jey Uso, and Rhea Ripley are all shown walking backstage at some point in the day today.

— Cole announces that today's show will include a Triple Threat to determine the next number-one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, featuring CM Punk, LA Knight, and one more unnamed competitor.

— Seth Rollins makes his entrance along with the rest of The Vision, wearing the Crown Jewel Championship and holding his World Heavyweight title. The Australian crowd chants a local obscenity towards Rollins.

Paul Heyman hands Rollins a mic and he welcomes the crowd before firing their chant back at them. Rollins runs down his list of titles before introducing his faction, starting with Heyman. Rollins says Heyman was betrayed by Reigns and Punk but Rollins made him an undeniable GOAT, and he hugs Heyman. The crowd chants for them to kiss and Rollins kisses Heyman on the head.

Rollins moves on to Bron Breakker and says he has flourished, calling him the "undisputed future of this industry." Finally, Rollins approached Bronson Reed, who picked up a singles victory against Reigns at Crown Jewel. The crown erupts in a chant for the hometown wrestler. Rollins tells Reed he couldn't have defeated Reigns before, but Rollins gave him all the knowledge he needed to destroy and embarrass Reigns. Rollins says Reed is the new Tribal Chief, and Reed puts his finger in the air.

Rollins then begins taunting the crowd, and then says nobody is on his level right now. He says all of his success has come on his own and the audience doubts him. Rollins says Roman needed the Shield and the Bloodline for his wins, and Cody needed Rollins to beat Reigns. Rollins says he beat Punk and Reigns on his own, won the World Heavyweight Championship on his own, and beat Rhodes at Crown Jewel on his own. He doesn't need the men in the ring with him but they've chosen each other.

— Penta walks backstage and walks by Rusev. Rusev tells Penta he's allowing Penta to fight Dominik Mysterio because he will fight whoever wins. We see Mysterio walk behind and quickly turn around to avoid Rusev.
