Falls Count Anywhere Match: Michael Elgin vs Rhino

Rhino didn't even get to the ring before Elgin rushed him. Rhino bounced his head off the barricade and ring post. Elgin ducked a clothesline on the post, though, damaging Rhino's arm. He continued to wear down Rhino's left shoulder, driving his own shoulder into it and slamming it off the apron.

Elgin's assault was stopped when Rhino picked him up for a backdrop on the apron. The first cover of the match was broken at one. Elgin escaped Rhino's clutches, sending him shoulder-first into the post and bringing the War Machine inside the ring. A leaping clothesline and body slam set up for the slingshot body splash.

Rhino kicked out and sent Elgin into the corner, following him for a clothesline. Elgin walked up to Rhino and the two behemoths traded punches. A massive enziguri from Elgin took Rhino down. Back to his feet, Rhino sent Elgin out to the apron and knocked him off with a shoulder tackle. Following him outside, Rhino tossed Elgin into the barricade. Big Mike shook it off and the two men traded chops as we headed into the final commercial break.

As we came back, Michael Elgin was down on one knee as Rhino was searching for some weaponry. He pulled out a steel chair, but was hit in the gut before he could use it. Elgin set up the chair and sat Rhino down, pelting him with punches and chops. Up on the apron, he dove on to Rhino with a clothesline. Rhino kicked out at two.

Elgin brought Rhino outside the barricade, brawling in the crowd. They made their way to the second barrier on the next level where Rhino tossed a drink into Elgin's face. With Elgin wobbling back and forth, Rhino pulled him higher up, maybe hoping to send him crashing down to the concrete.

A headbutt from Elgin stopped Rhino in his tracks. The fans chanted for Rhino, allowing him to recover as Elgin sneered at them. The War Beast hit Elgin with a purse then went down to the second barricade for a suplex to the chairs. Elgin held on, blocking it and catching Rhino with an elbow and headbutt, sending him crashing to the floor below.

The two continued to brawl, leading back to the ringside area. Rhino took Elgin up to the stage for a piledriver, but Elgin escaped and nearly decapitated him with a clothesline. Rhino's head bounced off the stage, nearly knocking him out. Elgin picked him back up and sent him careening down the ramp with a rolling elbow. Rhino broke out the pin at two.

Rhino countered a suplex with one of his own, bringing him down onto the ramp. Elgin kicked out. A superkick from Elgin sent Rhino back to the ring. Elgin tossed him in and brought in a table and chair. The chair was placed on Rhino's chest as Elgin tried to hit a running seated senton. Rhino set the chair up right, leaving Elgin doubled over in pain.

Elgin stood up near the table, and was able to dodge the Gore. Rhino ran through the table, and an Elgin Bomb finally put him down.
