This match showed a contrast of the two combatant’s styles. Brad stuck to his technical wrestling while Carnage employed a pounding style of offense. He continually went back to choking Brad and trying to slow the match down as much as possible. This strategy may have shown a lack of confidence in the EPW champion. Perhaps he felt that he could not put wrestle Brad.

No matter what the reasoning behind his tactics, he dominated the majority of the match. He never let Brad wrest the advantage away from him for too long by employing dirty tactics to stay in control. An attempt at a Rad Driver by Brad had Carnage scurrying for cover before he took charge on the outside.

A superplex from West bought him some time to allow a fightback. He cut Carnage off on the ropes and hit the Rad Driver. Carnage just got his shoulder up on two to keep the match alive. He quickly reversed another Rad Driver attempt into his finsher, the piledriver. He was too tired to cover Brad immediately and by the time he did, West managed to barely kick out.

A Rad Driver from Carnage got him another two count and his frustration was beginning to show. Desparate to end the match he called for his EPW title and nailed Brad while Slick Rick distracted the ref. Brad refused to quit and kicked out yet again. Carnage then missed a second rope moonsault and West hit a michinoku driver to become the 3rd EPW Invitational champion. His tag team partner Justin Sane then hit the ring to celebrate with him.
