Trick planted his opponent with a fireman's carry slam but Eddy Thorpe slammed him into the referee, knocking out the WWE official. Eddy hit Trick with a running knee to the face and went for another one but got caught with the jumping knee. Trick Williams fell on Eddy and both referees counted the three while both stars' shoulders were on the mat.

There's a slight chance a new champion could be crowned, but it's also possible that Trick could retain. It'll be interesting to see what pans out.
