Finlay & Tommy Dreamer vs. Jack Swagger & Mike Knox

Two weeks ago Jack Swagger and Knox teamed up to take down Dreamer. Last week, Mike Knox defeated Dreamer and after the bell Swagger hit Dreamer with his finishing move.

In tonight's match, Dreamer was being isolated by the heels but finally broke free and made a tag to Finlay. At the same time, Knox tagged in. Finlay ducked a Knox boot, then ran straight at Swagger to knock him off the apron. Finlay had momentum and kept clotheslining Knox down. Knox whipped Finlay to the corner at one point, but then Finlay avoided him on the charge. Finlay was able to get the Celtic Cross on Knox, but Swagger was back in the ring to break it up.

Tommy Dreamer got back up and ran across the ring to take Swagger to the outside. As the ref was over yelling at Dreamer and Swagger outside the ring, Hornswoggle was able to hit a Tadpole Splash off the corner. The ref turned and saw Hornswoggle near the apron and went over to get him out of the ring. Just then, Finlay retrieved a shilaleigh and clocked Knox over the head with it to pin him.

Winners: Finlay & Tommy Dreamer win via pinfall over Jack Swagger & Mike Knox.

Tiffany was shown dressed in her sexy devil Halloween costume backstage. Teddy Long came up to her dressed as dracula.

Bourne managed to stretch out for a tag as Morrison grabbed his leg.

In came CM Punk to the crowd's excitement. Punk began to gain the edge against Morrison, delivering a spinning kick followed by a running knee in the corner. Dibiase ran over on the apron to interfere, but Punk knocked him off. Soon, all of the competitors got involved in the ring at once. Rhodes and Miz were on the outside and Ricky Ortiz leapt over the top rope to crash down onto them. Then, Kofi did a springboard off the top rope to also land on top of them.

Meanwhile in the ring, Punk was on fire against Morrison. As Punk had Morrison up in the GTS, Manu got up on the apron to distract him and Punk ran at him to knock him away. As the ref was distracted, Dibiase got up on the other apron and grabbed Punk then snapped him against the top rope. Punk was flung towards Morrison who delivered the Moonlight Drive to slam Punk to the mat for the pinfall.

ECW ended with Manu, Rhodes and Dibiase celebrating up the ramp as Bourne, Ortiz and Kofi checked on Punk in the ring.
