Homicide and Bull James teamed up to face Mike Santana and Afa Jr. in the star's last-ever match. In the Outlaw Wrestling match, the bout nearly ended in a DQ, with Afa hitting Bull James with the belt. The referee called for a DQ, but Homicide got on the mic and overruled him, saying he had come to fight and demanding the match be made. No DQ. The bout was restarted, and the duo beat Afa and Santana.

Homicide celebrated by hugging the referee and being greeted by the entire roster. He hugged Bull, Santana, Julius Smokes, and others. Bull James also declared the retired wrestler Outlaw Wrestling's "Forever Champion," a fitting gesture to end the star's storied 30-year career.
