Cash breaks it up when Nigel gets the upper hand and the tag team siren goes off with all four men in the ring. FTR bail when Nigel and Daniel try for stereo sharpshooters. 

Dax gets back in the ring when things calm down. Cash grabs Nigel's leg and that allows Dax to take over. They whip Nigel to the corner where he does a handstand on the top and then he drops Cash and covers for two. Nigel works over Cash in one corner but when he charges to the opposite corner, Dax pulses Cash out of the way. Nigel goes to the floor and FTR work him over on the floor, running him into the announcer’s table.

Cash takes time to pet Tony Schiavone’s hair before rolling Nigel into the ring and working him over with quick tags. After Cash gives Nigel the Tower of London, FTR intimidates the announcers and go back to work on Nigel in the ring. Nigel gets the comeback clothesline out of the ropes and both he and Cash are down. Dax tags in and Nigel gets an arm bar whip down and gets the hot tag to Daniel, who runs wild.

Dax gets to the ropes and the brawl goes to the floor when Nigel makes Cash apologize to Tony. Daniel and Dax return to the ring and Daniel gets two superplexes off the top and goes for a third. Cash is able to break up the third and then stops Nigel from interfering with a clothesline on the apron. Dax gets a superplex from the top for two, broken up by Nigel.
