Brigette celebrates several recent developments and title changes in WWE and NXT, beginning with excitement over Elio Dragonov winning the United States Championship and John Cena, now the Grand Slam Champion, defeating Dominic Mysterio for the InterContinental title just before his presumed retirement. She also applauds Maxine Dupree for winning the women's title from Becky Lynch, and is thrilled that Chelsea Green and Ethan Page are currently double champions holding the AAA Intergender Championship. A major theme of the episode is the surprise return of "one-time" opponents, including Matt Cardona (formerly Zack Ryder), who faced LA Knight, and Dolph Ziggler, who returned to compete against Solo Sikoa. Brigette was also excited by the return of AJ Lee, who joined Rhea Ripley's group, setting up the women's War Games match against Becky Lynch's team. Looking ahead to Survivor Series, Brigette names the participants for the men's War Games match—including Jimmy and Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, and Roman Reigns—and anticipates the Intercontinental title rematch between John Cena and Dominic Mysterio, as well as Stephanie McMahon versus Nikki Bella for the Women's World Championship, noting her preference for Nikki Bella as a "heel" champion. Despite being unable to attend Survivor Series in San Diego due to a Mana concert, Brigette encourages listeners to watch the event on ESPN and support local wrestlers, many of whom serve as security for WWE shows.
