Great match with some awesome sequences and tremendous performances across the board.
They went to bring Shane Shamrock's family into the ring but DROLIX demanded they stop because it wasn't about their son but about him. Christian York got mad and hit the ring bbut DROLIX told him it wasn't about anyone but him, and demanded York hand him the trophy. York tried to do it half-heartedly as he was disgusted but DROLIX then demanded he do it on his knees. This led to a huge brawl and pull apart. Really wild scene and angle.

Fun TLC match to close out an extremely strong show from top to bottom.
Hardy took the mic and thanked everyone for selling out the show. He said that Luke Hawx took a chance being sued and being chased by attorneys to defend the title but did it anyway because he’s a man. He said that he and Hawx laid the foundation for Rising and that it was a title that deserved to be defended on an actual show in front of actual fans. He said holding the MCW title is like holding the WWE title and said that he was proud to face Luke, not just to win the title, but because if they didn’t finish this feud, Luke was going to kill him. He said Luke kicked his ass in the cage in Philly. He handed the belt back to Luke and said Rising may be gone but Luke was Rising and deserves to be booked until the end of time as the Rising champion. Hardy said he wanted to call a truce between himself and Luke and offered his hand.
Luke said that table hurt and that he wasn’t going to lie – he likes to run his mouth but what he loves to do it fight. He said that he came to end it all tonight. He said he would shake Hardy’s hand, not to just end it but to be a real man. He said he doesn’t back down from anyone but a man that can beat him fair and square deserves to have his hand shaken. He said that the fans can love or hate him, because they paid to see him perform and as long as they leave happy, that is all that matters to him. They shook hands.
