The match opens with the crowd chanting for CM Punk as all three competitors engage in the ring. LA Knight initially sends Punk to the outside before targeting Jey Uso, but Punk returns to focus on Knight. Jey interrupts Punk’s attack with a kick that sends him out of the ring, shifting the crowd’s energy from Punk chants to “YEET.” Knight tries to turn his attention back to Punk on the outside, but Jey knocks Knight into the announce table just before a commercial break.
When the broadcast returns, Uso and Knight are fighting in the ring until Punk takes down both men with a cross body. Jey quickly reclaims control, driving Punk into the corner and landing a hip attack on Knight. Punk fights back with a kick out of the corner, hits a neckbreaker on Jey, and follows with a running knee to both opponents. Building momentum, Punk executes a bulldog and clothesline combo before attempting the Go to Sleep on Knight. Although Knight escapes the submission attempt, Punk grounds him and delivers a top-rope elbow drop in homage to Macho Man Randy Savage. Punk attempts the GTS once more, but Knight counters into an inverted DDT, follows up with a DDT on Uso, and executes his own top-rope elbow drop landing on both opponents for a near-fall as the show heads to another commercial.
Following the break, Jey and Punk trade blows until Knight levels both men with a double clothesline. Knight corners Jey with a series of stomps and a hip attack before Punk intervenes. Punk and Knight brawl in the corner, leading to Knight executing a superplex on Punk. Sensing an opportunity, Jey immediately lands a splash on Knight, securing a two-count.
After Jey is sent out of the ring, Knight delivers a BFT to Punk and goes for the cover. However, Jey pulls Knight out of the ring to break up the pin and ascends the turnbuckle for a splash on Punk. Punk anticipates the move and raises his knees to block the attack. Seizing the moment, Punk pulls himself up, lifts Jey onto his shoulders, and executes the Go to Sleep to earn the pinfall victory.
