The Mack and Cage join the party and dive onto them on the floor. PJ Black gets up and hits a moonsault off the ropes and onto Cage and Mack.

Cage now attempts to suplex PJ Black into the ring. The Mack comes up from behind and lifts up Cage in the doomsday device. Black leaps off the top rope but Cage catches him in mid air and delivers a power slam. The Mack tries to catch Cage by surprise with a standing shooting star press but misses. Crane leaps into the ring, Cage catches him and power bombs him on top of The Mack. Cage then goes for the cover on Crane but he surprisingly kicks out.
Cage tries to power bomb Crane again. Crane counters into a chokehold. Cage readjusts and hits a swinging flatliner on Crane. PJ Black now tries to leap onto Cage but he gets caught, and Cage hits him with a destroyer suplex. Cage has all the momentum now but out comes his rival Texano. Texano gets on the apron and hits Cage square in the jaw with his bullrope. Cage is reeling and turns into a Crane kick to the jaw. The Mack hits the Stunner on Cage. This is followed up by PJ Black, who hits a springboard 450 splash on Cage and pins him.
