All three men wore pictures of
concentration as they made their way to the ring. The match started
off at breakneck speed and rarely slowed down as all three men
seemed to be sprinting for the finish line.
Carnage preferred to sit and watch at the beginning but was soon
being double teamed by Mikey and Storm. The action spilled to the
outside where Carnage hit Mikey with a rolling slingshot senton.
Storm was backdropped onto the entrance way but followed up by hip
tossing Carnage onto the hard concrete floor. |

The match soon found its way into the
crowd as Mikey went flying into the crowd with a rolling dive. But
on the way back to the ring Carnage snapped Mikey’s neck on the
guardrail. This saw a surprising but shortlived alliance between
Storm and Carnage as they tried to go to work on Mikey’s neck.
But the ‘Rising Star’ battled back with a suplex neckbreaker and DDT
combo that put both men down. Mikey tried to go up top but was cut
off by Storm. Carnage then lifted Storm up but Mikey leaped off the
top and Storm’s back went crashing into Mikey’s knees.
The end seemed near as Carnage applied the STF to an injured Storm.
But he was able to get to the ropes. Carnage pulled Storm back in
and applied it again but Mikey then hit the shooting star onto both
men. |

Mikey hit Carnage with the sunset bomb
but Storm took out the ref with a diving headbutt to prevent the
count. He regretted that decision moments later as he hit Mikey with
the rolling storm but there was no referee to count the pin. Storm
then drilled Carnage with the Eye of the Storm but could only get a
two count. |

An inverted piledriver ended Davis
Storm’s chance for the title and Carnage was showing frustration as
he failed to put Mikey away with the TKO. He went for the title belt
and tried to hit Mikey. Mikey ducked and Storm wound up tasting the
gold as the champion walked straight into a superkick that led to
the crowning of a new champion. |
