Kendrick and Finlay start the match. Finlay with an Atomic Drop and shoulder block, makes the tag to Batista. Batista rams his shoulders into Kendrick and then hits a suplex. Finlay back in and hits a European uppercut and traps Kendrick in the ring apron. MVP tries to stop him but Hornswoggle is thrown into him for his troubles. We return to see Mysterio in the ring hitting quick moves on Kendrick, Kane and Mysterio stare each other down. Hardy tags in and hits a Double Axe Handle on Kendrick.

Ezekiel then clotheslines Finlay.

JBL tags in and goes on the offensive on Finlay, hitting elbow drops and tags in Kane. Kane hits aggressive moves in the corner and tags in MVP. Typical heel team advantage on Finlay, JBL hits a big clothesline before Finlay executes a big DDT. JBL tags in MVP when Finlay hot tags Batista. Batista lays out everyone and hits a spear on Kane, a spinebuster on MVP. Batista goes for the Batista Bomb but Kendrick gets a back drop. Batista with a running spinebuster and then an assisted splash from Mysterio on MVP. Mysterio goes for the 619 on both MVP and Kendrick but Kane pulls him from the ring and lays him out.

We return to see Kane hit a low dropkick on Mysterio. More heel team advantage until Mysterio hot tags Hardy and Kendrick tags MVP. Hardy goes for the Twist Of Fate but hits The Whisper In The Wind. JBL takes out Hardy, Batista takes out JBL, Kendrick takes out Batista, Finlay takes out Kendrick, Kane takes out Finlay and Mysterio comes through with a missile dropkick on Kane, toppling him off the apron to the floor outside the ring.
