Naturally, this means the weekend was filled with exciting returns and history-making moments.

Let’s take a look at the most exciting WWE moments that happened on May 24-25, 2025.

Bronson Reed Returns From Injury at Saturday Night’s Main Event

The opening match featured CM Punk and Sami Zayn facing off against Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker. After some exciting moments, Rollins and Breakker came out on top with the help of a returning Bronson Reed.

Reed has been missing since Survivor Series: WarGames in November 2024, after a Tsunami off a steel cage resulted in a brutal ankle injury that required surgery. Now, it looks like he’s back and aligned with Rollins, Breakker, and Paul Heyman.

Cody Rhodes Returns, Announces Money in the Bank Match Against John Cena

Bronson Reed wasn’t the only major return that happened at Saturday Night’s Main Event. After defeating R-Truth earlier in the night, Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena interfered to help Logan Paul defeat Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship.

However, the odds were eventually evened when Cody Rhodes returned to WWE for the first time since losing the WWE Championship to Cena at WrestleMania 41.

Now, fans can expect a World Championship-caliber tag team match: Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena and Logan Paul.

Evolution 2 PLE Officially Announced

During Saturday Night’s Main Event, WWE officially announced that the next SNME would take place on July 12 in Atlanta, GA. However, another premium live event was announced for that weekend: Evolution 2.

The original Evolution was an all-female PLE from 2018 that is widely considered one of the best in the history of the company. It featured iconic matches like Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair in a Last Man Standing match and Ronda Rousey vs. Nikki Bella.

Trick Williams Defeats Joe Hendry, Wins TNA World Championship

NXT Battleground continued to prove that WWE’s developmental promotion has some of the best talent in the world, with excellent matches throughout. However, one moment still stands out.

WWE Superstar Trick Williams successfully defeated TNA World Champion Joe Hendry, meaning Williams is now officially the champion for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. He has also won the NXT Championship twice and the NXT North American Championship once.

This marks the first time a wrestler under a WWE contract has won a title in TNA.
