Justice recovers with a legdrop and a splash but only gets a 2. Next, Justice runs Valiant into the turnbuckle. Vinnie bounces back with punches but the Austrailian kid put him down by choking him with his boot and suplexing him for good measure.

Scott chops Valiant and rakes the back. A sideslam by Scott only gets a 2. Vinnie comes back with a heel kick and a cross bodyblock for a 2. As Justice tried a powerbomb, Vinnie took him over the ropes with a hurricanranna.

Back in the ring, a Death Valley Driver from Scott was only a 2 count. Scott delivers a superkick and a bulldog. A second superkick and Vinnie grabs the ropes. By now, Scott was getting frustrated and grabs a chair. The referee tried to stop him from using it but Scott shoved the referee aside and whacked Vinnie with the chair for the win and become the RCW champ. Or, so we thought... a second referee came from the back and told the first referee to restart the match which they did. When it restarted, Valiant delivered his 450 Splash for the win and to become the RCW Champion.
