Ryan hits a Running Hurricarana grabbing the legs for a pin, but Colt kicks out at 2. Colt hits a back elbow to the face of Ryan and then a few knees to the gut before hitting a Backbreaker. Colt then hits a Crucifix Powerbomb sitting out and hooking the legs as Ryan kicks out at 2! Colt revs up for the Superman Pin, but as he flies over Ryan, the smaller wrestler catches Colt in an inside cradle getting the three count. These two men shake hands after the match as Ryan gets on the board with a victory.)
