The World Heavyweight Champion hit Otis with a big boot twice, sending him to the floor. He then toyed with the babyface but ended up getting dropped on the floor with a fallaway slam.

Otis slammed the champion's face on the announce table and sent him into the barricade. He delivered a chop in the corner and ran into the turnbuckles. Gunther hit him with a few chops and did another big boot. The Ring General got slammed with a back suplex, and the two stars exchanged chops.

Otis performed a bodyslam and hit a splash in the corner. He then did a back elbow, a slam, and hit a Caterpillar for a two-count. The Alpha Academy member missed a splash and ate a dropkick. Gunther did a clothesline and planted his opponent with a Jackknife Powerbomb to win the match.
