New Day vs. JBL. Book it.

Then, JBL joined the commentary desk for the bout between Kingston and Mysterio. Before the match began, Kingston and Woods took a verbal lashing to JBL, invalidating his status as a WWE Hall Of Famer.

The match between Kingston and Mysterio was competitive, but it ended in quick fashion, as Mysterio trapped Kingston in a sit-down pin for the three count. Woods and Kingston attempted to double team Mysterio after the match, prompting Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro to make the save.

Notably, this was the first televised match between Mysterio and Kingston since the December 8, 2008 edition of WWE Raw. A live event match between both stars took place at a live event in May 2024.
