The Vision successfully retained their WWE World Tag Team Championships against The Street Profits at Saturday Night’s Main Event XLIV in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The May 23 broadcast on NBC and Peacock concluded in chaos after Logan Paul struck Montez Ford with brass knuckles to secure the pinfall for Austin Theory. Immediately following the bell, Bron Breakker charged the ring and delivered devastating spears to both members of The Street Profits.
Paige and Brie Bella kept their hold on the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships in an eight-minute clash with Nia Jax and Lash Legend. The champions survived the size disadvantage when Brie Bella provided critical outside assistance, allowing Paige to roll up Jax for the three-count and secure the victory.
Penta also walked out with his title intact. He retained the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Ethan Page by throwing his opponent into an exposed turnbuckle before hitting a springboard destroyer. And in six-woman tag team action, Jade Cargill, Michin, and B-Fab defeated Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss. Just as Ripley and Flair appeared to resolve their ongoing tensions in the ring, Cargill attacked Ripley from behind and hit her “Jaded” finisher to end the bout.
A blatant rule violation forced a swift front-office ruling later in the broadcast. During a non-title match, Becky Lynch intentionally shoved the referee to take a disqualification loss against Sol Ruca. As a direct consequence, WWE General Manager Nick Aldis officially mandated that Lynch must now defend her Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Ruca at the upcoming Clash in Italy premium live event.
