Did you know a top WWE Superstar just wrestled outside the company? More details HERE
The Murderhawk was all over Dustin Rhodes in the early stages of the match. Archer went under the ring to take out a steel chair. Dustin saw the danger early and smacked the chair out of Archer's hands. Rhodes then grabbed the chair himself but Archer booted him through it. We saw that Dustin Rhodes was busted open by this point.
Back from the ad break, Rhodes threw right hands in desperation only to get wiped out by a clothesline. Rhodes replied with the Shattered Dreams soon after.
Rhodes still had fight left in him as he threw more right hands at Archer. He followed it up with a Code Red but couldn't cover Archer. Both men made it back to their feet at the same time and traded strikes. Rhodes won the exchange and took Archer down with a clothesline. He followed it up with a Powerslam.
Archer caught Rhodes by the throat but Rhodes broke free and hit the Cross Rhodes. Archer kicked out at 1. Rhodes headed to the top rope and leapt off. Archer caught him by the throat and hit a chokeslam, with Rhodes kicking out at 2
Archer caught Rhodes arm, headed to the top turnbuckle and walked the ropes. He then hit a moonsault from there for a nearfall.
Archer followed it up with a second chokeslam and went for the cover. Rhodes almost reversed the pin but the Murderhawk kicked out at the last second.
Archer ripped off one of the turnbuckle paddings and sent Rhodes face-first into it, repeatedly.
QT Marshall came out at this point to throw in the towel but Cody stopped him. None of this distracted Archer who hit Rhodes with a knee to the face to finish him off.
