The match was shifted to a Street Fight on Saturday night, a change which resulted in additional mayhem and Balor showing off in his finest form. Any "Demon" Balor entrance remains the among coolest WWE has to offer, and Sunday night was no exception. Mysterio cowered behind the announce desk in fear as his former Judgement Day stablemate appeared, which made the whole presentation all the better. As soon as the bell sounded, Balor crawled to the center of the ring, leaving Mysterio questioning whether or not he should even enter the squared circle.

— WWE (@WWE) April 19, 2026 Balor seemed to be having much more fun with this version of his character than when we last saw it. He really hammed it up, beating Mysterio down early and often, and then introducing a kendo stick to the proceedings. Balor also went for a table, which allowed Mysterio to hit a suicide dive and return the favor with a kendo stick of his own. Chairs were the next weapons, as Mysterio got creative with the furniture, setting them up in the middle of the ring — only to get countered with a suplex drop. A 619 and Frog Splash from Mysterio connected to try to put the match away, but Balor kicked out at one. Balor began to seek a Coup de Grace afterward, but missed and ran into a chair shot. Mysterio did his best to pull out all the stops by setting up a table in the corner, and Balor crashed through the wood after taking a superkick. Another 619 with a chair over Balor's head, followed by another Frog Splash, still failed to put Balor away. HOW did The Demon kick out?!? 😱
