Bear Bronson and Brian Myers show up, and Myers calls everything The Righteous and The Hardys are calling "mumbo jumbo" and says the tag titles are the only thing that matters.

He says that Moose and JDC kept The System from the next level of greatness and that they tore the cancer out so they could rebuild The System better than before, and at Slammiversary, he will end this once and for all. JDC says he has known Eddie for 25 years - longer than anyone else in the business - and that while he does not take what Eddie did personally, professional wrestling has made Eddie sick in the head and blinded by disease. He says that Eddie will lose everyone in his life, including his wife and daughter, and Alisha interrupts JDC for bringing her daughter up, telling him to bring his wife so she can slap her before saying The System is better without Moose and JDC. She says Moose walks around like a big shot, but deep down inside, he wants revenge on her because she played him like the fool he is and always will be. Alisha then dares Moose to Spear her and get that revenge, but Moose and JDC leave the ring. Alisha says he knew Moose would do that because he is nothing but a pathetic coward, and Moose slides back in the ring and nearly goes for the Spear until JDC stops him.

Jey says that everyone has counted him out when he won the Royal Rumble, won the World Heavyweight Championship, shook arenas, and in the finals of the King of the Ring Tournament, and that people are counting him out against Oba Femi. Jey says he will shock the world and silence the haters by beating Oba Femi to become King of the Ring and beat "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. He calls this "a warning shot," but an unfazed Oba Femi tells Jey that he will destroy him regardless of whether he misses when he shoots his shot and that Jey is not the family member that he is really worried about. He then tells Jey to hand his bullets to his cousin Roman Reigns.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is met by LA Knight, who still thinks that Pearce is siding with The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Jacob Fatu) Jimmy Uso shows up and confronts LA Knight for his actions from last week, and Pearce gets between them only to be told to shut up by LA Knight. Pearce puts Knight and Jimmy in a match, and LA Knight responds by refusing to listen to Pearce and puts himself in a match tonight with Jimmy.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Lyra Valkyria, who is not even in the mood to be interviewed before she walks off.

Chad Gable heads to the ring. Gable says he is in the ring for something special and that he has had "a hell of a month" after losing his mask in Mexico, and that he not only lost his mask, but he lost his self-respect, his reputation, his dignity and even some of his friends. He says that Rey Mysterio has made him realize it is never too late to right some wrongs in your life, then asks Alpha Academy (Otis, Akira Tozawa, Maxxine Dupri) to come to the ring. Alpha Academy come to the ring, and Gable thanks them, saying that he does not deserve them giving him the time of day. Gable congratulates Maxxine on winning a singles championship and states that the way he treated her was pathetic and embarrassing, and says it is all his fault. He says that Tozawa has the heart of a lion, but he tried to hold him down and hold him back, and says how he treated him was pathetic and embarrassing, and it is all his fault. He calls Otis the most loyal friend a human being could ever have and says that Otis would have taken a bullet for him, and that he misses him. He says that they were neighbors, Olympic training partners and tag team champions, and he threw it all away because he selfishly wanted a singles title more than his friendship and it is all on him. Gable says that Alpha Academy does not owe him a damn thing, but he owes them something, and apologizes for his behavior. Before Otis can forgive Gable, Maxxine stands between them, saying there was a time that she would believe everything he said, but now she sees clearly, and that everything about Gable is a lie. She knows that everyone wants to forgive him, including Otis and Tozawa, but she does not, especially after she had to stop and especially after they had to drown in the business alone while he chased his own dreams because it was all about him. She says the apology is for him, but when she achieved his dream, he finally realized that they never needed him. Maxxine then says they will leave him the same way he left Alpha Academy: alone. She then shoves the microphone into Gable's chest and leaves with Tozawa, and Otis looks briefly at Gable before joining them.

Theory says that everyone is after them, including Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, who Breakker will handle in a steel cage, and The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford), who do not know respect. He says that when it comes to building the future, The Vision are the ones doing it. He says that nobody knows sacrifice like Logan Paul, who says that if it were up to him, he would beat The Street Profits over the head with his cast, then brags than he is healing faster than anybody in the course of human history who has ever healed and that he has his money on The Vision tonight. Bron Breakker says that they will handle business tonight and retain the World Tag Team Championships.

We hear from Sol Ruca, who says that she is a thrill-seeker not just in the ring, but in everything that she does. She loves learning new things and challenging herself, as well as failing, getting back up and making a fool out of herself. She says that the feeling she gets when she gets back up and proves everyone wrong is what drives her, and that she is unapologetically herself and the WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion.

Zuffa boxers Lee Cutler and Alex MacMillan, former boxer Derek Chisora, UFC Welterweight Figher Michael "Venom" Page and actor Jason Statham are seen in the crowd.

Jackie Redmond interviews Iyo Sky in the ring. Iyo says she is extremely grateful to have gotten here, and she cannot wait to beat Liv Morgan to become Queen of the Ring. Suddenly, Liv Morgan shows up and says that Iyo has forgotten who she is dealing with and that Iyo is not beating her because she is so much better and so much more talented than Iyo. Liv says she is the face of the women's division and that all she is missing is her crown as she enters the ring, and that she will make history by becoming Queen of the Ring while Women's World Champion and beating Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women's Championship.

Backstage, Jimmy Uso is met by "Main Event" Jey Uso. Jimmy says he has LA Knight and that Jey should focus on becoming King of the Ring. Jacob Fatu shows up, and Jey wonders where Jacob has been. Jacob says he only answers to Roman Reigns, and that the only thing that matters is that Solo Sikoa got the message, and now, they sit and wait. Jey asks what the plan is, and Jacob says that they wait for Solo to cross the line.

Backstage, Danhausen is met by "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh. Dominik says that they want their money, and Danhausen says that he spent it on his experiment. McDonagh says that they either get their $100,000 back or they will take the experiment. Danhausen curses McDonagh, who then grabs the experiment only to shock himself. This allows Danhausen to quickly disappear.

LA Knight beats Jimmy Uso. During the match, Solo Sikoa shows up out of the crowd and hits Jimmy Uso with a Samoan Spike, which allows LA Knight to hit the BFT for the win.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford).

"Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh show up, and JD McDonagh's hand is shaking as he introduces himself to Roxanne and Raquel, as if he does not know them. Liv Morgan shows up angry at what Iyo Sky did to her, and Raquel says that while Liv Morgan will become Queen of the Ring, the rest of them are not doing so well. Liv says she will become a double champion while Raquel will handle Sol Ruca. Suddenly, McDonagh's condition takes a turn for the worse, and he has to be rushed to medical.

We see Corey Graves' interview with Seth "Freakin'" Rollins from earlier today. Rollins says he has gotten closer to his goal of destroying The Vision (Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Austin Theory), although it has not gone the way he expected. He says that if it were not for The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford), he does not know if he would be one win away from doing it. Rollins says he knows the risks of a steel cage match with Bron Breakker and says a lot could go wrong, but when you have a problem, you must find a way around it, and he is an expert at that and putting other chips on the table. He says that this steel cage match will tell him and the world who he is, and if he can beat Breakker, then he can put The Vision behind him and take back the World Heavyweight Championship that he never lost.

Backstage, Chad Gable meets with General Manager Adam Pearce. They are both met by The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh) as they mention Penta, and Dominik says that Gable is not facing Penta before him when he cannot even get an apology from "[his] loser friends." Dominik then demands an apology from Gable for disrespecting him as well as Pearce for Danahusen stealing his money. Gable says that Dominik sent him to Mexico in the first place and that this is what he gets for "listening to [his] dumb ass." Gable then says that Dominik will have to beat an apology out of him, but Dominik says he does not just give away matches. Pearce then makes a match between Gable and McDonagh - who thinks Pearce is a doctor - official for next week.

The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) beat The Vision (Bron Breakker and Austin Theory) to become the World Tag Team Champions and five-time tag team champions in WWE. During the match, Logan Paul gets ejected from ringside for putting Theory's foot on the rope during a pinfall attempt, but he later returns with brass knuckles. Joe Hendry shows up and chases Logan Paul through the crowd, but when Theory goes for the knuckles that Logan Paul has left in the ring, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins shows up through the crowd as Breakker waits for him at the bottom ofthe ramp. Rollins takes the knuckles and knocks Theory out with them, and Breakker chases after Rollins in the crowd, leaving Theory subsceptible to The Street Profits' double-team offense and allowing The Street Profits to win the match and the titles.
