The start:
Sylvan Grenier started the match off in the ring against Edge and the two locked it up in the center of the ring and Edge put Sylvan in a side headlock and then Edge he put Sylvan in a hammer lock and Sylvan countered it into a hammer lock and a head lock of his own until Edge countered it with a top wrist lock and then a shove down to the mat.

Behind the referee's back, Rob Conway grabbed Edge and rammed him into the security wall, back first. Rob Conway then rolled Edge back into the ring where Sylvan Grenier covered him for a two count. Sylvan then dragged Edge to the La Resistance corner and then he and Rob Conway double teamed Edge.
Edge knocked Sylvan Grenier down to the mat with a spinning heel kick and he crawled over in an attempt to make a tag to Chris Benoit but Rob Conway ran over and knocked him down to the arena floor. Grenier and Conway went for a double team suplex on Edge but Edge floated over and pulled the two down to the mat with a double neck breaker.

Winners by disqualification, Edge and Chris Benoit, but still Tag Team Champions, La Resistance
The Aftermath:
Kane gave Edge a big boot as well and then he grabbed Chris Benoit and planted him with a choke slam and then he gave Edge a choke slam as well. On the outside of the ring, Kane grabbed Chris Benoit and whipped him into the steel ring steps and then he headed to the backstage area with an evil grin on his face as Chris Benoit was writhing in pain.
Backstage:
Eric Bischoff was shown backstage with The Coach and Eric Bischoff told him that he looks like he's ready but he has to point out one thing. Eric has done his job and got rid of William Regal; he will not be at ringside. So The Coach has to get rid of Eugene once and for all. The Coach told Eric not to worry about it, it's done. Eric said that he's sick and tired of Eugene, he's an embarrassment and tonight, he wants Coach to get rid of him. Coach started to leave but then he came back and pointed out something to Eric Bischoff. Coach laughed but Eric didn't seem too happy. Eugene showed up and he looked to be upset. Eric asked what the problem is? How much of that did he hear? Eugene sadly said "You don't like me, Uncle Eric." Eric tried to explain that's not what he said. Uncle Eric is just trying to protect him. Look at it this way; who is Eugene's favorite wrestler? Triple H. Does Eugene remember when he broke that big muscle in his leg and couldn't walk? That could happen to Eugene. Eugene said his legs are fine, he can walk. Eric said he knows that, but how about Chris Benoit? He broke his neck. That could happen to Eugene and he doesn't want that to happen. Eric said he's going to give Eugene a choice; call off the match and Eugene can get on an airplane and tell all of his friends that he was in the WWE. Or he can go out there tonight and wrestle. What's it going to be? Eugene happily said that he wants to wrestle! He can wrestle!
