SOL RUCA GETS THE WIN OVER BAYLEY! pic.twitter.com/fJ04JRiMYe
Winner: Sol Ruca via pinfall
Bayley and Sol Ruca delivered the second match of the night. Bayley came down to the ring with Lyra Valkyria, while NXT star Ruca entered with Zaria by her side. The ladies started out with good mat wrestling and counters that showed both could actually work.
Bayley showed good ring awareness by working on Ruca's left arm with wristlocks, but Ruca's athleticism allowed her to counter out. The back-and-forth early on set a nice pace for what was coming.
Here's where things got fun. Ruca tumbled her way across the ring and over the ropes to land on Bayley on the outside. Then came the spot of the night—I've never seen someone do a cartwheel on the top rope, but Sol Ruca did it and got a DDT on Bayley for her trouble. The Capital Centre crowd popped for that one.
Towards the end, Sol Ruca hit the Sol Snatcher. She managed to pull Bayley back in the ring for the three count, but Bayley countered with a pin attempt that was reversed into a pinning predicament and the win for Sol Ruca.
No interference, and a good clean match. Bayley praised Ruca before the match, and the two embraced after the bout to show that mutual respect.

Winner: Cody Rhodes via DQ after Drew McIntyre interference
WWE threw us a curveball—Cody Rhodes and Oba Femi kicked off Saturday Night's Main Event tonight. Good choice on their end.
Femi used his power game to get the early control, and that backbreaker grinding offense he's got seemed to wear the champion down. The NXT Champion was showcasing exactly why he's been tearing through the developmental brand.
The spot of note came when Cody got clotheslined outside by the announcer's table. Femi ran outside and nailed him with a back elbow that busted Cody open. At this point, Femi was absolutely dominant.
Just when it looked like Femi might pull off the upset, Drew McIntyre came in and started pounding on Cody. Here's where it got interesting—Femi, upset that McIntyre ruined his moment, pushed McIntyre down and helped fend him off.
Cody and Femi shook hands at the end of the match. The fans were really into this one, and Cody worked from underneath for the majority of the bout.
Screwy ending aside, this was a good match. Femi looked strong against the Undisputed WWE Champion, and the Capital Centre crowd ate it up.
Saturday Night's Main Event returns on Peacock with John Cena stepping into the ring for the final time in his legendary career as he faces Gunther at the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland. This is it—the end of the road for the 17-time world champion.
After nearly 25 years of "hustle, loyalty, and respect," Cena's retirement tour concludes tonight against one of WWE's most dominant forces.
The showdown between Cena's legendary career and Gunther's Ring General mystique has fans buzzing about whether the Austrian powerhouse will show any mercy in what will be Cena's final professional wrestling match.
Beyond the historic main event, tonight's card features a champion vs. champion clash as Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes takes on NXT Champion Oba Femi in a rare cross-brand showdown. Rhodes has been on a roll since his massive WrestleMania victory, and tonight's match against the powerful Femi should be a barn burner.
Bayley returns to action against rising star Sol Ruca, while the tag team division heats up with AJ Styles and Dragon Lee facing the high-flying duo of Je'Von Evans and Leon Slater. WWE is pulling out all the stops for this Peacock special, and the Capital Centre crowd is ready to make some noise.
