The match had been preceded by weeks of tension and attacks between the two men. That tension boiled over big time as they brawled outside the ring, leading to Ethan dropping Ricky with a Twisted Grin, and Ricky's throat hit the crossbar of a steel chair. That injury would play into the rest of the match and ultimately be Saints' undoing, as it was too much to overcome, and he would succumb to a Twisted Grin inside the squared circle.

Now, Ethan Page advances to WWE x AAA Worlds Collide, where he will defend his newly won championship against an unknown competitor at this time.

Ricky Saints was champion for 57 days.
