Balor mocks Ziggler for the “respect the veteran of the locker room” speech and says Ziggler makes him sick.
Balor says Ziggler is the same as Edge and Rey Mysterio as he attaches himself to the younger Superstars to keep himself relevant, saying he can teach them something.

They hope Aliyah was taking notes earlier to help prepare for the Fatal 4 Way on SmackDown because they all know Kai and SKY will win the finals, then the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles.

He regrets starting it here in Canada and goes on to insult the people here.
He also taunts the Toronto Maple Leafs NHL team and the boos get louder. Gable brings up Maple Leafs player Auston Matthews and says he doesn’t have what it takes to wash Otis’ jockstrap. Gable announces the first-ever Alpha Academy Open Challenge, and tells Canada to send him their best, whether it’s a civilian, a former athlete who can’t let go of his glory days, someone who thinks they’re a fighter.

Finn Balor says Rhea has been beating Dominik Mysterio up so much lately, he’s starting to like it. Balor says as for his dad Rey Mysterio, Balor keeps Rey in his pocket – he shows us his inner suit pocket and it looks like he might have Rey’s name stitched there, maybe not.
Balor says Rey is 6-1-mine, and they all laugh at that. Priest says that leaves only one lonely Legend to deal with – Edge. He knows the cheers will be crazy tonight for Edge’s return home, but he says this will be Edge’s last homecoming because he plans to send Edge back into retirement.

Gargano says since he’s been gone, there were a lot of questions about his future, and he also had those same questions, and even wondered if he wanted to do this anymore. He recalls playing with his new baby boy one day… he gets a “Baby Wrestling!” chant going. Gargano promises his son will appreciate that one day. He recalls being a kid and having dreams of becoming the WWE Champion, the WWE Intercontinental Champion, the WWE United States Champion, and wrestling at WrestleMania, and it hit him – what kind of father would he be if he didn’t teach his son that even the biggest dreams can come true?
He recalls saying when he left, how you’ll never fail if you bet on yourself, and that’s what he’s doing in Toronto tonight – betting on himself, and he stands here incredibly proud to say Johnny Wrestling is back in WWE. Gargano says we’re just getting started. But music interrupts and here comes Gargano’s former partner, Theory, with his Money In the Bank briefcase. Fans boo as Theory heads to the ring.

Theory says it’s almost like the things Gargano dreamed of, Theory has already done. Theory says he couldn’t have done any of this without Gargano, recalling how Gargano took him under his wing in NXT, and now they’re on .
Theory says it’s almost like now he’s the veteran, and Gargano is the rookie. Gargano can stand behind him and be his caboose, carry his bags or his briefcase when he cashes in. Theory says maybe now he can show Gargano “The Way” or Gargano can go away if he can’t support Theory. Theory suggests they do their high-five for old times sake and Gargano is hyped up to do it. Theory holds his hand out and waits but Gargano drops him with a superkick. Gargano stands over Theory and makes his exit.
