In the ring, Santos Escobar said never meet your heroes. My hero was Rey Mysterio. My wish was that the next generation would see me like I used to see Rey Mysterio. You became a father figure to me and you made me feel at home, but after last week, I realized that what Dominik said about you is right. I deserved to be the U.S. Champion and who became the champion. I wanted to rebuild the LWO and who took it over and brought in new members like Carlito? You sided with an outsider like Carlito over me. I hope the pain you’re suffering in the hospital reminds you of how I felt when you betrayed me. I hope they have to amputate your leg again and you never come back. Zelina Vega came to the ring. Escobar told her to leave and Vega slapped him in the face and left the ring. Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro came in the ring. Escobar said they can be together like before. Wilde and Del Toro told him he is out of line. Escobar told them to leave and he doesn’t need them.

Bayley said you’re not going to make it to WarGames and you’re not going to make it out of here tonight. Becky Lynch entered the ring and the two teams brawled to end the show.
