Post Match- The Assassin appears and blindsides Dundee. Renesto's calling the shots in there as the Baron & The Assassin double up on Dundee! Jerry "the King" Lawler is out, looking reluctant but STILL manages to chase the Assassin & Baron off with a chair. Dundee's happy to see the King, but Lawler blows him off and heads to the back.

Referee Bruno gets taken out via Idol accidentally taking him out with a clothesline. He gets replaced with Jerry Callhoun. Idol manages to get the Las Vegas Leglock locked in, the bell sounds, at it APPEARS we've got a new champion! BUT it's revealed that Bruno called for the bell on the grounds of a DQ as Callhoun called for the bell perhaps giving Idol the win via submission. Idol is LIVID and threatens Bruno, Muraco then attacks from behind! TOMBSTONE piledriver takes out Idol! Bruno AGAIN calls for the bell, and the decession is REVERSED! Muraco now approaches Bruno, backs him into the corner, then rubs his head jokingly. Not caring as he's STILL the champion!

Two color mask didn't change the outcome here, as the finish see's the Nightmare in the Blue mask UNMASK revealing a matching yellow one underneath allowing the switch to occur. The initial yellow masked Nightmare ends up REMOVING his mask revealing a Blue to further confuse things and hide the switch! The Fabs are furious, but there's nothing they can do, their run with the title has ended in just 7 short days at the hands of the cagey Nightmares!

Blood bath isn't the word, but the King, thanks to one of his old heel trademarks, a small steel chain, is able to take this one.
Post Match- Here's the big story, The Assassin is out yet again to attack a bloodied Lawler from behind. Tom Renesto joins in. Renesto and the Assassin are punishing Lawler as Kamala makes his big comeback. BUT HERE COMES THE SUPERSTAR! Dundee armed with a steel chair CLEARS the ring! Dundee offers a hand to the King, WHO TAKES IT. Dundee helps Lawler to his feet and raises his hand high, Lawler however still appears apprehensive, at least at first. But eventually celebrates as Renesto & The Assassin look on in the aisle.
