The crowd erupted as Xixak made his entrance, a rising star eager to prove himself against the cocky Austin Theory. Theory, ever the showboat, mocked Xixak before the bell, claiming the rookie didn’t deserve to share the ring with him. The match began with Theory using his strength and cunning to dominate the early minutes, grounding Xixak with a series of suplexes and vicious strikes.
But Xixak, resilient as ever, rallied back with his lightning-fast offense, dazzling the crowd with a springboard DDT that nearly secured the three-count. Theory, desperate to regain control, resorted to underhanded tactics, shoving Xixak into the referee and attempting a low blow. Xixak countered, landing a superkick that left Theory dazed.
As Theory staggered to his feet, Xixak capitalized, delivering a breathtaking Canadian Destroyer that left the audience in awe. The pinfall was academic, and Xixak stood tall, celebrating his hard-fought victory.
His moment was cut short as Logan Paul stormed the ring, blindsiding Xixak with a steel chair. The crowd booed relentlessly as Paul sneered, yelling, “Congratulations, right?” referencing his insincere words last week. He stood over the fallen Xixak, making it clear their issues were far from over.
