The trailer, shown during Royal Rumble, demonstrated fight footage and new match types — Inferno Match and Dumpster Match, as well as new weapons, including thumbtacks. The feature also hinted at the appearance of a special ROH CM Punk variant.
Improved destruction physics were also shown: in one scene, Rhea Ripley crashes through the top of the cage with her opponent, finishing the move onto two tables.
