Finlay entered the match and was followed into the ring four minutes later by MVP. MVP used his medallion and chain to bloody the Undertaker, but the dead man gave MVP a reverse choke slam off the top of a pod which allowed Finlay to pin MVP. Hornswoggle appeared from under the steel and gave Finlay the shillelagh. It didn’t help him though because the Undertaker gave Finlay the choke slam onto the steel floor and scored the pin. After a back and forth battle between the two men, the Undertaker was able to hit the tombstone piledriver on Batista to get the win.
