Happy Talk
Corbin gloats about taking Madcap Moss out. He is going to put Moss’ Andre trophy in his trophy case since it’s his now. Moss had it good. But he had to go and try to better his position. He wanted out of Corbin’s shadow. No way. Moss thought Corbin would just be ok with being the butt of all his jokes, but who’s laughing now? Maybe he is the big, bald wolf because he huffed and he puffed and he took Madcap Moss out. Corbin smashes the trophy to pieces.
Gunther w/Ludwig Kaiser vs. Drew Gulak
Gulak ducks a chop from Gunther. Gunther clutches Gulak’s wrist and he delivers multiple short arm chops. Gunther lands a powerbomb hold for the win.
Winner- Gunther
After the match, Gunther locks Gulak in a Boston Crab. Ricochet hits the ring and Gunther breaks the hold. Gunther walks away as Ricochet checks on Gulak.
Backstage, Max Dupri (LA Knight) walks into Adam Pearce’s office. Dupri is here to work and he is the leader of Maximilian Fashion Agency. He is here to find people who can walk the runway at fashion week, then headline WrestleMania. Pearce says he has no idea what this is about. Dupri says Sonya Deville signed him to a contract, Pearce lets Dupri know Deville has been dismissed so he’ll have to speak to the legal department about this. Durpi tells him to do that. Pearce doesn’t annunciate Dupri’s name to his liking, so he corrects him several times. Pearce can’t get it right.
