What's in the Box? was a show by Legacy of Wrestling, and the second Legacy event in Kraków in 2026. This time it was held in
Klub Kwadrat. The name of the show is a quote from David Fincher's film Seven. It was announced on 7.07.2026, three days before the sixth Legacy event.
Build-up
- At the last show Max Speed challenged Jakub for the Legacy of Wrestling European Championship. Jakub initially declined, but ended up agreeing after all, intending to humiliate Speed.
- On 2.09.2026 Shadow announced his retirement from active wrestling; as a farewell to the fans, he decided to make final three appearances, including in Legacy.
- The match between Jakub and Max Speed was officially confirmed on 13.09.2026.
- On 16.09.2026 Shadow's opponent was revealed to be KPW's former Championship and a fellow masked luchador: Zefir.
- On 7.10.2026 came the announcement of a Tag Team Match between the KPW Tag Team Champions Oskar Haller & Chemik, and Boro teamed up with a mystery partner. At the previous Legacy show Chemik won the Legacy of Wrestling European Championship Contract by defeating Boro (among others), whereas the recent KPW event saw Haller aid Chemik in reaching for the tag team gold only because he didn't want to see the Wejherowo native possibly winning both team belts by his lonesome.
- At the previous show, when Disco Pablo was being attacked by Bartosz Plata and Biuro Prasowe, Sambor rushed to help. His assistance, however, ended up not making a difference and Sambor blamed Pablo for this defeat and his recent series of losses, turning on his friend. As a result, Pablo demanded a match against the Slavic warrior to which he agreed, but on the condition that the choice of the stipulation will be his. On 15.10.2026 Legacy officially confirmed the match, with the stipulation remaining a mystery.
- Marcelito, who also fell victim to Plata's betrayal, was announced on 19.10.2026 for a match against the traitorous former ally.
- On 21.10.2026 Legacy published a video in which Sambor revealed his choice of stipulation: Extreme Rules Match.
- A post made by the federation later that day stated that members of Biuro Prasowe - Tony Sheen, Eryk Lesak and Arek Paterek - will appear at the show, with the first two taking part in a Tag Team Match.
- On 22.10 Boro posted a reel, talking about his Tag Team Match against Oskar Haller & Chemik. As he mentioned finding a Tag Team partner, Boro opened his bathrobe to show the Tag Team T-shirt depicting him and his PpW/FRPW partner, Mutant.

Highlights
- The first match ended with a rare top-rope move by Eryk Lesak - a Splash onto Antoni Ocean.
- This was Shadow's only match against an active KPW wrestler, as well as his only match to be refereed by a KPW official.
- After winning his match, Shadow was attacked with a Superkick from a mysterious figure posing for an audience member, who told him to "be careful what he wished for" before being removed from the ring by the staff. This unexpected interruption was caused by a figure from Shadow's past: former MZW wrestler Lider, whom he named in an interview with Center of Wrestling as somebody he'd like to have his final match with.
- Before his match, Disco Pablo patted down Sędzia Seweryn in search of foreign objects, found none and gave a thumbs-up.
- Sambor entered in street clothes rather than his usual Slavic Warrior attire, carrying a chain he intended to use on Pablo. While Pablo's initial charge knocked it away, he later wrapped it around his foot to deliver a devastating kick.
- Disco Pablo laid Sambor out in one of the club's table booths. Pablo then asked the fans to join hands with him and do a wave, starting with the fan fartherst from him and ending with a powerful chop to the horizontal Sambor.
- At many points in the match (and later as well), the crowd urged wrestlers to stick objects up their opponents' rectums, chanting "Stick it up his (your) ass". For example, it was heard when Sambor produced a kendo stick to give Pablo a vicious beating; later, when Pablo recovered the stick, he obliged. The crowd continued the chant when Pablo was setting up a table outside the ring, when Sambor found a ladder, and even after breaking said table into pieces.
- After this match, a representative of Polish Lobo - a Kraków-based shop with Marvel/DC/horror/anime figurines, and the show's sponsor - joined Wiktor in the ring to give the winner of an online competition his prize - a 1:1 replica of Lobo's hook. When asked what he was going to do with it, the audience humorously - and stubbornly - requested he should "Stick it up his ass!".
- Oskar Haller came out, recalled the former (although technically still reigning) MZW Champion, KPW trainee and "the reason he is in Legacy" right now: Marco Hammers, and asked the crowd to do a standing round of applause for the retired wrestler. Once the fans did so, he lashed out against Marco, deriding how he now "keeps showing his bare ass at bodybuilding competitions". Then he bragged about putting him out of action, as he was indeed Marco's final opponent at Legacy's fifth show, and how Marco could no longer do anything about it. Then Marco's entrance theme played, Oskar lost his steam and the crowd popped, only for another bald head to appear: that of Chemik.
- The KPW Tag Team Champions Oskar Haller and Chemik kept bickering throughout the match, still clearly not happy with having to be one another's partners and co-Champions. This included Chemik tagging Oskar in with a massive, loud and painful slap to the back.
- In a promo directed mostly at Chemik, Boro introduced his Tag Team partner, and Marco's former Legia Łysych partner, who was "also very bald": Olgierd. The bald hooligan then rushed into the ring and laid waste to the KPW wrestlers, his theme song still playing.
- With Oskar Haller on the ropes, Boro produced a pink glove for his signature Oil Check, to great crown applause, but it was snatched from him by Chemik.
- Later, Chemik took out the glove while Olgierd was on the ropes, seemingly with the same intention, but was stopped by Boro. Olgierd took the opportunity to pull down Chemik's trousers and promptly get on all fours, allowing Boro to push and trip Chemik over Olgierd's back and onto the ropes. The audience didn't fail to chant their favourite phrase.
- Oskar Haller laughed at Chemik's misfortune along with the opposing team, before getting hit and thrown at the ropes next to his uneasy partner. Olgierd then produced a pink glove of his own, put it on and, to the chanting audience's satisfaction, the two performed a Double Oil Check on Chemik and Haller.
- Near the end, Chemik broke Boro's pin on Haller, causing Olgierd to confront him. In the scuffle, Chemik told Olgierd that he wasn't even legal in the ring, Olgierd replied that Chemik wasn't either - which the KPW Tag Team Champion countered with "I am barely legal!" (Jestem ledwo legalny!) - likely referring to PpW's biggest annual show.
- Olgierd then picked up Haller in a Fireman's Carry, telling Chemik "If you don't get your act together, I will kill him!" (Jak się nie ogarniesz, to go zabiję!). Chemik responded by picking up Boro and saying "Then I will kill him!" (To ja zabiję jego!). The stalemate ended with both Olgierd and Chemik throwing Haller and Boro to the ring (although not quite as lethally as expected).
- With a table set up outside the ring, Jakub hit a Catapult Backbreaker on Max Speed, smashing Speed's face into the underside of the table top and causing him to bleed significantly.
- After a long and arduous fight Max Speed defeated Jakub with a Spear, winning the Legacy of Wrestling European Championship and earning him a standing ovation from the crowd.
- As he was leaving the stage with his newly-won title, Speed was hit with a surprise attack by Chemik, charging out of the backstage with his contract briefcase which he'd won at Enter the Dragon, intent on cashing it in.
- Speed fought valiantly, but being exhausted after the main event, he stood little chance against the rested Chemik. Thus, Max's reign as the new Legacy Champion lasted only around 2.5 minutes.
- Chemik cut a brief promo after winning the title from Max, in which he insulted the people of Kraków calling them "cucks", and the city "Cucków".
- Wiktor closed the show, promising that Max Speed would return, and Legacy would return as well.
- This was the first time a KPW and a non-KPW official co-refereed a show.
