Gunther vs. The Miz
Winner: Gunther retained his title following a modified Boston Crab on The Miz. Despite The Miz’s best efforts, Gunther’s reign of 533 days will continue after this victory. Even after two low blows, The Ring General was able to keep the match under his control. While The Miz did look strong against Gunther, he was not able to capitalize.
Backstage segment: Another backstage segment where Orton’s absence was at the forefront. This time, it was TheJudgment Day who were excited that Orton was not there for the main event match. This continued the build-up for Cody Rhodes’ team facing a disadvantage in the Men’s WarGames match during the Main Event.
Santos Escobar vs. Dragon Lee

Things looked dire at one point after Rhea Ripley brought out the MITB briefcase to initiate a cash in. But then The Apex Predator made his entry.
