A caveat to this match is that Paul Ellering will be locked in a shark cage above the ring. William Regal wanted a fair finish but one must think that Ellering has something up his sleeve.

The Authors of Pain begin in dominating fashion but as the match before, TM 61 gain control outside of the ring. Shane Thorne uses the structure that is holding Paul Ellering to take out the Authors of Pain.

As the match goes back into the ring, the Authors of Pain begin to cut off the ring but Thorne and Miller use their speed to mount a comeback. Without Ellering, the Authors of Pain look like they’re in deep trouble.

Ellering throws a chain down to his team as predicted and Rosard uses it to his advantage. Somehow the chain flies into the crowd but this was the setup to victory. The Authors of Pain end the match with the last chapter.
