Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez challenge WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill
Last week, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill got into a confrontation with Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez that led to The EST of WWE slapping the Women's World Champion. Then, in a Battle Royal to determine Morgan's next challenger, the titleholder and Rodriguez pulled Belair and Cargill out of the ring for the double elimination. This Monday, the two teams will square off in a WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Match. Is the title destined to go to The Judgment Day?
– Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill are shown walking backstage. The Judgement Day is also shown walking in the arena and the show kicks off with Gunther making his way to the ring.
GUNTHER says following his loss to Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel and being unable to win the Men's Crown Jewel Championship, he doesn't look at the past but rather ahead to his World Heavyweight Championship match against Damian Priest at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames.
Priest's music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. Priest says he wants to hear what GUNTHER has to hear what he has to say about him to his face, and GUNTHER begins to speak. Priest cuts him off and suggests what GUNTHER is about to say about where he comes from. He says when he stepped in the ring with GUNTHER for the first time at SummerSlam, he got what people said about him being intimidating in the ring. He says GUNTHER's vibe started to fade after he became World Heavyweight Champion and even more so after losing to Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel. Priest says he knows the old GUNTHER is gone because if he were still the same man, he'd take a swing at him right now.
Priest offers GUNTHER a free shot at him, but GUNTHER doesn't. Priest reiterates that he won't because he knows that he'd beat him down. Ludwig Kaiser then interrupts Priest and asks what they're doing here. He reminds Priest that GUNTHER has already beaten him at SummerSlam, then tells him to get out of the ring and save himself from GUNTHER. He says the next time Priest stands in the ring with GUNTHER, the result will be the same.
GUNTHER cuts off Kaiser, but Kaiser continues running his mouth. Priest then clocks Kaiser and stares down GUNTHER before clotheslining Kaiser out of the ring. GUNTHER exits the ring and slowly retreats up the ramp with Kaiser.
