Rating: ****

*After the match, Edge is rightly furious with losing his chance at Holden Powers and the ACW World Heavyweight Championship. Damien Adams gets the hell out of dodge, leaving an emotional Edge with only Wardlow still in the ring to take it out on. Wardlow stands stoicly while Edge screams at him but makes the mistake of poking him in the chest as he yells. Wardlow's expression changes immediately and he grabs Edge and hits two power bombs right in a row before leaving Edge in a crumpled heap.*
