Van Dam is in control of the action early as both spill out of the ring as Blanchard and Dave Crist enter the ring and Blanchard gets some offensive on Crist.

Fulton and Rhino are now in the ring and start to trade blows until OVE starts to work together as a team to pick apart the individual competitors. The action spills outside the ring as everyone is ringside as Dreamer does a sloppy Dreamer dive onto the wrestlers. RVD then goes for a high flying move and is followed by Dave Crist performing a superplex to Blanchard off the top rope and outside the ring onto the competitors. More chaotic action happens in the ring as Blanchard takes a top rope cutter and oVe almost gets the win until Dreamer stops the near count by hitting OVW with the kendo stick.
