All seven men look turns at fighting each other before the first elimination took place when EC3 threw out Richard.
Kongo Kong came in at eight and immediately eliminated Bokara. He was targeted by everyone afterwards. Suicide was next and delivered some spots before being laid out by Kong.
The run of Kong was soon put to an end when he ran over the top after a failed attempt to eliminate Mahabali Shera who was the tenth entrant. Chris Adonis and El Hijo Del Fantasma came out in the 11th and 12th spots respectively.
Johnny Impact (John Morrison) made his GFW debut to a big pop when he came out at 13th position. The battle between him and EC3 amidst the chaos proved to be a highlight of the gauntlet match.
Former champion Bobby Lashley entered in at 18th and got three immediate eliminations when he threw out KM, Fallah Bahh and Ishimori. Moose and Low-Ki came in at 19th and 20th to complete the field.
The next major elimination was that of EC3 who fell victim to a teamwork from Edwards and Moose. Lashley then eliminated Low-Ki to reduce the field to himself, Edwards, Johnny Impact, Eli Drake and Moose.
Lashley’s dominating spell ended when a drop kick from Moose eliminated him. Eddie wasted no time in eliminating Moose as well leaving only three men in the ring.
The debut of Johnny Impact then came to an anti-climax when Eli Drake went out through the middle rope and eliminated him. This left Drake and Edwards as the last two wrestlers. Incidentally, it was these two that started the match as well.
After two Skylords Slams and a lot of to-and-fro action, Eli Drake was crowned the new GFW champion.
