McIntyre saw this as an opportunity to make easy money and achieve his lifelong dream of winning a championship in front of paying fans. He wasted no time in taking control of the match, delivering a Claymore Kick that nearly squashed Rollins. Despite managing to kick out, Rollins struggled to keep up with McIntyre’s dominant performance.

The two exchanged finishers multiple times throughout the match, with Rollins hitting the Stomp several times in an attempt to turn the tide. However, it was ultimately McIntyre who emerged victorious, landing a devastating Claymore that secured him the title.

Following the match, Rollins showed respect to McIntyre’s deserving victory before turning his attention towards Punk ringside. A physical altercation ensued between the two men, leaving fans stunned by the unexpected turn of events.
