– In the main event, WALTER defeated Roderick Strong. After the bell, he got on the mic and said, “The winner of this match is Gunther,” though it is unclear what exactly he meant. The other two members of Imperium then came out and helped him beat up Strong, but the Creed Brothers came to his aid. The two factions brawled as the show went off the air.
The ring isn’t big enough to hold a brawl of this magnitude!! #Imperium #DiamondMine#WWENXT @WalterAUT @Marcel_B_WWE @FabianAichner @roderickstrong @JuliusCreedWWE @BrutusCreedwwe pic.twitter.com/FLEQUtLsY5
