The bell hadn't rung while all four men beat each other up around the ring. The situation had gotten so out of hand that Owens attacked WWE officials who were sent out to settle things down. Nick Aldis had had enough and came out to change the stipulation of the match. The SmackDown General Manager announced that the match would be contested under no rules, officially making it a Street Fight.

The WWE Universe in France was ecstatic to learn about the new developments. The fans in attendance as usual were behind their fans and let the world know how excited they were to be there to witness an amazing match.
