Aline briefly managed to get back in the ring, but Alexander slammed her down on the apron. Aline countered by shoving Alexander off the top rope, sending him spinebuster over the edge of the apron, giving himself time to recover.
The champion looked for a coffin drop from the top rope to the floor, but Alexander caught him for a German suplex release. Back in the ring, Aline tried to choke Alexander with his own head gear and put him in the Scorpion Deathlock. Alexander made it to the ropes and Aline jumped up for a coffin drop but Alexander rolled out of the way.
Aline hit Alexander on the ropes with his own dragon screw and finally connected with a Coffin Drop with Alexander still laying on the middle rope. The two tumbled to the outside, where Alexander set up two chairs and hit a leaping tombstone slam to send Aline through them.
When Allyn was still able to make it to the ring, Trent Beretta and Rocky Romero ran out to help Alexander. Stephen Borden came out of the crowd wearing a clown mask to get them out. Alexander pinned Allyn from a distraction in the middle of the ring, but Allyn was able to reverse it for the win.
