Opening Contest
Dominik Mysterio vs Santos Escobar
At the start of the match, Dom kept Santos on his toes by showcasing some serious athleticism. Escobar should never be underestimated because he mounted multiple comebacks and his own rendition of the 619 to honor his mentor, Rey Mysterio. However, Dom’s desperation got the better of him and he reached into his tights and pulled out a foreign object and struck Santos with it. After hitting a frog splash from the top rope, Dirty Dom was able to secure the victory.
After the match, Damian Priest came down to the ring to help Dom continue the attack on Santos. The beating would have been career ending if it wasn’t for the help of Rey Mysterio. Rey clotheslined Dom out of the ring and hit the West Coast Pop on Priest! The crowd was elated!!
Winner: Dominik Mysterio

Intercontinental Championship Match
Curtis Axel defends against Sheamus
Vega: Axel is strutting down the aisle, showing off his championship belt like a fashion model on a runway.
This match was very one sided at the onset, with Sheamus dominating Axel. Axel calls himself the premium athlete but was clearly having trouble with the Celtic Warrior.
But suddenly, from out of nowhere, the CEO of WWE, Jeff Murrey, appears on the titantron with a plate of nachos in hand. Yes, nachos! He’s munching away, not a care in the world, as if he’s watching the match from a comfy couch at home.
Curtis Axel takes advantage of the distraction and manages to roll Sheamus up for a surprise pin! One, two, thr– No, Sheamus kicks out! Axel can’t believe it! He starts arguing with the referee, complaining that Sheamus had a secret steel plate under his beard.
Jeff Murrey, still chomping on his nachos, takes the microphone and says, “Hey fellas, how about we make this a special championship match? Let’s add some spice!” He points to a fan in the audience and yells, “You! Yes, you! Pick a random object from your bag, and we’ll make it legal in the match!”
Someone in the audience holds up a rubber chicken, and without hesitation, Jeff exclaims, “Rubber chicken match! Let’s do it!”
And just like that, the rules change! The wrestlers can now use the rubber chicken as a weapon. Sheamus looks perplexed, but he’s a good sport, and he starts swinging the rubber chicken at Axel. It’s absurd and ridiculous, and the audience can’t stop laughing.
Axel dodges the attack and hits the perfect plex! Jeff Murrey runs down to ring and delivers a fast count 1…2..3!
Winner: Curtis Axel

WWE Championship Match
Damian Priest defends against Drew McIntyre
This match was electric and back and forth from the onset.
As the match reaches its halfway point, the atmosphere inside the arena is electric, with the crowd firmly divided between the two competitors. Damian Priest has been displaying his incredible athleticism and resilience, while Drew McIntyre is proving why he’s known as “The Scottish Psychopath” with his relentless aggression and strength.
Suddenly, the arena lights dim, and the entrance ramp is engulfed in an eerie fog. The crowd erupts as the legendary Ricky “the Dragon” Steamboat’s iconic theme music blares through the speakers. Wearing his signature dragon-themed attire, Steamboat slowly makes his way down the ramp, capturing the audience’s hearts with his presence.
At the same time, a burst of excitement sweeps through the arena when the legendary “Icon” Sting makes his surprise entrance. Crowds roar with nostalgia as he appears, clad in his classic face paint and black trench coat. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as the two legends enter the ring together.
In a shocking turn of events, Steamboat and Sting stand side by side with Damian Priest, a gesture that appears to signal their alignment with “The Final Judgment” faction. The crowd is taken aback, wondering if Priest has expanded his faction with two of wrestling’s all-time greats.
However, just as the fans start to cheer the unity of “The Final Judgment,” Steamboat suddenly strikes Damian Priest with a devastating kick. The crowd gasps in disbelief as Sting follows suit, delivering his signature Scorpion Death Drop to the bewildered champion. The legends have turned their backs on Priest, leaving him lying in the center of the ring.
Steamboat and Sting exit the ring, and it becomes clear that they have deceived Damian Priest. As they head up the ramp, their motives remain a mystery, but two things are evident: Damian Priest is in a vulnerable state and the final judgment seems to be over.
Drew McIntyre senses the opportunity.
With a fierce determination in his eyes, Drew McIntyre locks his sights on the fallen champion. He seizes the moment, delivers a bone-crushing Claymore Kick to Damian Priest’s head, and hooks the leg for the pin. The referee counts 1… 2… 3!
The crowd erupts into cheers and applause as Drew McIntyre becomes the new WWE Champion. He has overcome a tumultuous match filled with surprises, and with the help of the legends’ betrayal, he has reached the pinnacle of the WWE.
Winner: Drew McIntyre
