The match started hot with Bron instantly going for his vicious spear. However, Seth would counter and take the action to the outside. After a lengthy time in the ringside area. The action returned to the ring, where Breakker quickly took the upper hand and took the fight to Rollins. After a couple of headlocks, German suplexes, and some trash-talking, Seth would take charge, only for Bron to take over again.

The match would continue with both men putting on a quick pace showing throughout the match. Halfway through, Seth would go for a move on Seth that would cause him to land weirdly on his neck. But that didn’t stop the two men from putting on a hellacious effort with Breakker countering a superplex falcon arrow and taking down Seth with an eruption from the Tampa crowd.
Seth would then look to close out the match with a pedigree and then a stomp but Paul Heyman would then get on the apron to distract Rollins. Rollins would then roll out to the outside and go under the ring for a chair. Austin Theory would then attempt an attack from behind but Rollins would attack with the chair. This then led to Logan Paul running to the aid but getting taken out by the chair as well. Rollins would then get back into the ring and get instantly taken out with a spear.

In the closing moments of the match, Bron would drop the straps and go for another spear, where Rollins would then counter with a pedigree and go for an avalanche curb stomp. Breakker would catch Rollins with a spear and then run the ropes for one more spear to end the match and defeat Seth Rollins after an incredible opening match to Backlash.
