We see Cody and Gura walking backstage as Renee approaches him.
Renee: Cody, after what Ethan said before you came backstage. What do you have to say in response?
Cody: If he doesn't back down after I see what I do to Brody tonight. I'll give him what he wants. But fair warning. You're not gonna like what you are going to see Ethan.
Cody and Gura walking off as we cut back into the arena.
Corey: Bold words from Cody as he is getting set for his main event match.
Excalibur: Indeed but our opening contest is about to start let's head down to the ring with "The Host" Greg Hamilton.
Greg: Your opening contest is set for one fall! Introducing first from Atlanta Georgia, weighing in at 220 lbs. AUSTIN THEORY!
Austin Theory enters, oozing cocky charisma. He smirks at the crowd, taunting some fans in the front row while flaunting his toned physique. As Theory ascends the turnbuckle to pose, a sudden burst of pyrotechnics cuts him off as his opponent enters.
Greg: And his opponent, representing the Devil's Ammunition, from Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 295 lbs. "The Man-Beast" RHYNO!
The familiar roar of Rhyno’s entrance music shakes the arena. Rhyno marches out, his eyes locked on Theory. The crowd erupts, rallying behind the veteran. Rhyno storms down the ramp, ready for war.
The bell rings, and Theory immediately circles Rhyno, trying to use his speed advantage. He goes for a quick lock-up, but Rhyno easily overpowers him, shoving him across the ring.
Theory attempts a running shoulder tackle, but Rhyno doesn’t budge. Theory tries again, only for Rhyno to level him with a brutal clothesline.

Rhyno whips Theory into the corner and charges in for a running clothesline, crushing Theory against the turnbuckles. Without hesitation, Rhyno hoists him up for a delayed vertical suplex, holding Theory in the air for several seconds before slamming him to the mat.
As Rhyno goes to pick Theory up, Theory rakes his eyes. He capitalizes with a dropkick to Rhyno’s knee, bringing the big man down.
Theory begins targeting Rhyno’s leg, stomping and wrapping it around the ropes. He hits a dragon screw leg whip, then locks in a single-leg Boston Crab, attempting to wear Rhyno down.
