Crazzy Steve intensified the brutality of the match by executing a Twist of Fate with Tommy Dreamer’s head sandwiched inside a chair, causing even more damage to his opponent. After this devastating move, Steve headed to the outside and retrieved a Singapore Cane, signaling his intent to further punish Dreamer with this weapon.

In a bid to escalate the mayhem, Crazzy Steve wedged a trash can into the corner of the ring, causing the trash inside it to spill out and litter the canvas.

Inside the ring, the two competitors exchanged strikes and punches, engaging in a brutal chop fest. Shelley unleashed some Kawada kicks, and Moose responded with a headbutt, only to be met with a devastating clothesline as he rebounded in the ring. The crowd erupted in a massive “TNA” chant. Shelley nailed a superkick but couldn’t execute a Shellshock. Moose capitalized on the opportunity, delivering a spear and covering Shelley for the pinfall victory.

Moose was declared the new TNA Champion in what was an exceptional back-and-forth physical encounter. The System initially came out to celebrate, but a surprise entrance by Nic Nemeth, the former Dolph Ziggler, added an exciting twist. Wearing a Motley Crue shirt, Nemeth attacked Moose and left him incapacitated. He then went into the crowd, revealing a TNA t-shirt, which sent the audience into a frenzy as the show concluded.

It was indeed an excellent show, marking a remarkable resurrection for TNA.
