Commercial break*
As we come back from the commercial we see Ralph standing outside of Zabka’s door holding a bottle of wine and some food from a five star steak restaurant. Ralph knocks on the door
Ralph: Hey buddy, are you home?
Zabka yells to his wife, “Don’t open that f**king door! Zabka’s wife tells him that he is acting insane and then she opens the door.
Zabka charges at Ralph with the sword above his head and the camera feed cuts.
Match One

Walter and Sheamus squared off in a hard-hitting battle that had the entire arena on the edge of their seats. The match started with both competitors showcasing their incredible strength.
Sheamus used his brawling style to gain an early advantage, delivering powerful strikes and wearing down Walter with his relentless offense.
Walter, however, demonstrated his resilience and determination, countering Sheamus’s attacks with precise strikes and well-executed grappling maneuvers.
As the match reached its climax, Walter managed to block Sheamus’s attempted Brogue Kick, catching Sheamus off guard. Seizing the opportunity, Walter hoisted Sheamus onto his shoulders and delivered a bone-shattering powerbomb that shook the ring. The referee counted the three-count, declaring Walter the victor.
Winner: Walter
After the match, as the crowd cheered for Walter’s impressive victory, the Austrian powerhouse grabbed a microphone. With a determined look in his eyes, he addressed the audience.
Walter (now Gunther): “Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you not just as Walter, but as someone who has evolved, someone who seeks to redefine himself in this unforgiving world of professional wrestling. From this moment forward, I shall be known as Gunther.”

Match Two
Curtis Axel vs Rey Mysterio
In a rare moment that gave us a match with Curtis Axel that wasn’t at a Premium event, both Curtis Axel and Rey Mysterio displayed their incredible athleticism and in-ring skills. The back-and-forth action had the crowd on the edge of their seats as they traded high-flying maneuvers and technical holds. Axel, looking to prove himself, showcased his power and determination.
In a shocking turn of events, Curtis Axel managed to counter Rey Mysterio’s 619 into a surprising roll-up pin.The referee’s hand slapped the mat for the three-count, and the arena erupted with a mix of disbelief and excitement.
After the match, Dirty Dom comes to the ring with a microphone in hand.
Dominik Mysterio: “Look at this loser! My deadbeat dad can’t even beat a paper champ that cheats in all of his matches. I am going to prove to the world what a chump you are! I am challenging you to a match at Payback! If you lose, then you do what you do best, LEAVE!!
Clash of Legends
Damian Priest: Bret, Where are you going? You’re a legend, but I’m the future, and I’m about to make a statement that the world won’t forget!
[As Priest speaks, the camera pans to reveal Bret “The Hitman” Hart standing near his own car in the parking lot, a bewildered expression on his face.]
Bret Hart: What’s gotten into you, Damian? I am sorry that Sting and Steamboat didn’t join your group. That isn’t my fault.
[Ignoring Bret’s plea for reason, Damian lunges forward, tackling Bret to the ground. Priest’s anger fuels his assault as he throws Hart against the car, the impact denting the vehicle’s metal frame. The sound of the impact reverberates through the area.]
Damian Priest: [Yelling] Payback! At the next Pay-Per-View, I’m not waiting for an invitation. I’m challenging two legends who’ve been hiding in the shadows – Sting and Ricky Steamboat! A handicap match! You both think you’re the saviors, the icons. Well, I’ll prove that the future is now!
The scene ends with Priest walking away, leaving Bret and the parking lot behind in chaos.]
