The bout began with Bully Ray, Nick Aldis, Jonathan Gresham, and Heath winning the Tag Team portion of the match to advance to the next stage. During the Fatal Four-Way, Bully Ray tried to introduce a chair, but Scott D'Amore made his return and stopped him. Bully and Steve Maclin powerbombed D'Amore through a flaming table at Under Siege. D'Amore would ultimately hit Bully with a chair, setting in motion the conclusion of the match.
Nick Aldis would go on to win the match, submitting Heath with a Cloverleaf. Due to his victory, Aldis will challenge for the IMPACT World Championship at Slammiversary.
