In this episode of Saved by the Bell season 5, titled "Wrestling With the Future," the gang is faced with the challenge of not only securing their own futures, but also figuring out how to save their beloved school from being shut down.

As the seniors' time at Bayside High comes to a close, they're all feeling the pressure to make important decisions about their futures. Zack, who's been struggling with his grades, is worried he won't get into the college of his choice. Kelly's applying to universities on the East Coast, but wonders if she's ready to leave her friends and family behind.

Meanwhile, Mr. Belding learns that the school is in danger of closing its doors due to budget cuts. The school board has given them an ultimatum: raise $10,000 in one week or Bayside High will be forced to shut down for good.

Desperate to save their school, the gang comes up with a plan to raise the money: they'll host a charity wrestling match. Slater, who's a skilled wrestler, will take on all challengers, with the prize money going towards keeping the school open.

But their plan hits a snag when another student, Tommy, shows up and challenges Slater to a match. Tommy, who's a wrestling prodigy and son of a famous wrestler, is convinced that he's destined for greatness in the ring. Slater initially refuses to fight him, thinking that wrestling for money would go against the sport's code of honor.

As the deadline to save Bayside High approaches, the gang is forced to reconsider their priorities. Zack realizes that he's been so focused on getting into college that he's forgotten about the people who matter most to him. Kelly realizes that her dreams of going to school on the East Coast may not be worth it if it means leaving behind her friends and boyfriend.

In the end, the gang comes together to make the charity wrestling match a success, raising enough money to save their school. Slater eventually agrees to fight Tommy, but not for the prize money. Instead, he wants to prove that wrestling can be more than just a way to make money – it can be a sport that brings people together.

As the seniors prepare to graduate and move on to the next chapter in their lives, they're reminded that no matter where they go, they'll always have a special connection to Bayside High and the friends they made there.
