Match

Cody hit a springboard cutter for the first real advantage of the match. Cody missed a moonsault, and Spears immediately answered with a pile driver for a near fall. Action spilled to the outside where Shawn Spears suplexed Cody onto a piece of the barricade. Back in the ring, Spears hit a scoop slam and went for a springboard splash, but Cody put his knees up.

Cody missed the detonation kick and Spears hit a sky high for a near fall. Back from the commercial break, Spears was attempting to pull a table out from under the ring when Cody hit him with a suicide dive. When Cody went to the top rope, Shawn Spears jumped up and hit a double  underhook suplex off the top rope. He followed up by hitting a C4 through the table to the floor.

Back in the ring, Shawn went for the C4 again, but Cody slipped out and hit two Cross Rhodes. Shawn Spears kicked out. Cody cinched in the figure four leg lock. Spears shoulders were on the mat and he couldn’t lift them before the three count.
