Dreamer got back into the ring and suplexed Richards backwards, then attacked Burke in the corner. Dreamer then tried to go after Thorn in the corner. Thorn managed to slam Dreamer off the ropes, as Burke completed a trifecta of German Suplexes on Richards. Thorn went to the outside of the ring and hammered away at Dreamer laying on the side apron.

At one point, Elijah Burke jumped over the ropes onto Thorn and Richards. The two men caught Burke in the air, holding him near the apron. Dreamer saw this and ran against the ropes and did a sliding dropkick into all 3 men. Dreamer then jumped off the side apron when he saw Burke stand up, and ECW went to commercial.

ECW returned with Dreamer and Thorn fighting in ring and Dreamer trying for a pin. Richards came back in and attacked Dreamer from behind then failed at a pin. Burke finally re-entered the ring and slammed Richards, elbow dropped Dreamer and started to stomp away at Thorn. With Burke focused on Richards, Thorn went after Dreamer.

As all 3 men were layed out Dreamer climbed the turnbuckle and frog splashed Richards. Thorn saw it and then tossed Dreamer out of the ring. As Burke made the pin on Richards, Thorn held Burke down on Richards to make sure. Richards is pinned and eliminated from the #1 contender chase.
