The crowd continues to go crazy, as the referee realizes both men have passed out, he calls for the bell to end the match. Bob Artese announces that the match has ended in a double technical knockout. The crowd begins a "That Was Awesome" chant, as medical staff and road agents hit the ring to check on both men. As Aries and Richards are being checked on, Lance Storm, Paul Heyman, Brock Lesnar and William Regal walk out onto the stage clapping for one of the greatest matches in pro wrestling. As the medical staff and agents check on Aries and Richards and try to help them to their feet and out of the ring, both men shove off the help and collapse. The agents continue trying to help them, but keep getting shoved off. The crowd cheers wildly and a continuous applause for the two competitors. The show fades to credits as Aries and Richards both exit the ring on their own free will.
