Bronson Reed Promo
- I’d like to tell you all a story. A story about a monster. You see, I’ve had opportunity here taken away from me, time after time. I was deemed too dangerous, a hazard to the roster, so I had enough. I had to show them how dangerous I really am. And I took out Seth Freakin’ Rollins, I took out R-Truth, I took out The Miz, and I took out Braun Strowman. And then I get COVID, and they give my opportunity to Braun Strowman. I’m not going to cry about it. Instead, I’m going to do something about it. I’m going to finish the job with you, Braun. And the story won’t be about Braun Strowman, The Monster, the story will be about, Braun Strowman “The Victim”. The victim to WWE’s true monster, me, “Big” Bronson Reed.

What’s more important than the World Heavyweight Champion? Pearce is working on finding an opponent since GUNTHER doesn’t want to defend his title against Sami Zayn. Sami makes a compelling case for a match. Ludwig says that Sami is not an adequate opponent. If GUNTHER has a problem with that, he can go to Pearce’s office and talk for himself.
Sami Zayn, Ludwig Kaiser and Gunther segment

He further says Gunther doesn’t forget what happened to him at WrestleMania and he’s scared of Sami Zayn.
- Ludwig Kaiser interrupts and says Gunther is the most dominant force and doesn’t fear anyone. He’s trying to save him from the Gunther. At WrestleMania, it’s your night but miracles don’t happen twice.

Kaiser transitions into a ground and pound attack. Kaiser plants Zayn with a Twisting DDT. Then, Gunther says regarding the challenge for my World Heavyweight Championship, and the answer is, and will always remain, no.
- Kaiser goes for another Twisting DDT, but Zayn counters with a Release German Suplex. Zayn connects with The Helluva Kick to close this segment.
Damian Priest and Liv Morgan backstage segment
- Liv Morgan interrupts Damian’s Priest interview with Cathy Kelley. How sad, a former world champion doesn’t realize that he’s already a has been. It wasn’t hard for The Judgment Day to choose between The Terror Twins and Liv and Daddy Dom. Two lonely, pathetic, desperate losers, clinging onto what kept them on top. It’s quite embarrassing, isn’t it? Damian can’t believe that someone from The Judgment Day actually has a set. Liv protect that World Championship, because when Rhea Ripley gets her hands on her, it’s not going to be pretty. Priest tells Liv to give Dominik a kiss goodbye, because when Priest destroys him tonight, he’s putting her scumbag boyfriend down.
Fifth Match
- Iyo Sky w/Kairi Sane defeated Bianca BelAir w/Jade Cargill by pinfall.
Ludwig Kaiser backstage interview
- Cathy Kelley had a backstage interview with Ludwig Kaiser. Ludwig finds it very hypocritical for Sami Zayn to question his loyalty to GUNTHER when he’s the same person that claims that Kevin Owens is his best friend, yet they continue to turn on each other whenever the other person is having more success. Ludwig calls Sami a sad, bitter, old man. The truth is, Sami is jealous of Kevin because he’s a former World Champion, and Sami will never be a World Champion.
Ilja Dragunov, Jey Uso and Judgment Day backstage segment
- Ilja Dragunov wishes Jey Uso luck in his upcoming title match with Bron Breakker. The Judgment Day proceeds to confront Dragunov. He should be wise as to he chooses as friends.
