Despite Gunther's offense, Priest managed to deliver a South of Heaven, nearly securing the victory. However, Bálor interfered, draping Gunther's leg over the rope to break the count. Priest was shocked at Balor’s betrayal and went on to fight him. This distraction allowed Gunther to lock Priest in a chokehold.
