Overview
- In the Dec. 22 main event, Theory and Bronson Reed beat CM Punk and Rey Mysterio when Theory scored the pin with a curb stomp.
- The match was presented on-air as a proving ground by Heyman, and the outcome positioned Theory as nearing membership without confirming it.
- Theory explained he wore the mask so fans would "feel [his] actions before they saw [his] face" and described his new mindset as "I take."
- He debuted updated ring gear, switching from his trademark shorts to grey pants with black kneepads in a visible presentation reset.
- Post-match, Bron Breakker speared Punk to end the show, further building to their Jan. 5 World Heavyweight Championship bout.
