Shortly after the second fall, Christian tears down the ring and exposes the wooden boards, then hits Darby with a top rope splash as he is carried out on a stretcher. Christian socres the third and deciding fall after Nick Wayne keeps Christian from using the TNT Championship as a weapon with referee Bryce Remsburg knocked out only to hit Darby with the title himself.

Sting then extends his hand to Edge, and Edge shakes Sting's hand.
