In the end, the final three came down to Swerve Strickland, Big Bill and Orange Cassidy with some controversy between the two challengers about who should target Cassidy.

When Swerve appeared to defer to Bill, instead he rushed him to eliminate him while he had Orange Cassidy held high however, while the champ was able to stay in the ring Big Bill was not.

As Swerve and Orange Cassidy went to battle as the final two, there were big moves from each however in the end it was a well timed pair of feet to catch Swerve off the top rope that sealed the win for Cassidy.
