The rest of the Blackpool Combat Club (including a bandaged Bryan Danielson) walks behind Jon Moxley until he comes out of the tunnel and through the crowd. Best Friends and Kris Statlander accompany Orange Cassidy as far as the entrance to the stage.
Cassidy is in no hurry to get after it when the bell rings, and we’ll see if Mox lets him do his shtick. Uh, no. No he won’t. Moxley hammers the champ with chops, then bites at his head in the corner.
Orange hits a dropkick but is quickly suplexed and grabs his already beaten up neck. Another suplex just makes it worse.
More chops and forearms land before Cassidy finds a rhythm with forearms and shoves into the top turnbuckle pad. Moxley stomps on Cassidy’s chest in return, but the Stundog Millionaire leads to a suicide dive. Moxley responds quickly, then chucks the champ to the floor.
Moxley slings his foe into the post, returning to the ring to see if Cassidy can join him. Orange is bleeding now and takes a kick to the head by the announce table. They head on top of the announce table, where Mox bites away at Cassidy’s cut. The ref loudly admonishes Moxley, giving Cassidy a chance to pick himself back up.
The ref makes his count, which Cassidy beats but runs right into a stalling piledriver for a near fall. Moxley just tears away at Cassidy’s face, keeping the blood flowing. Mox says to the camera that he’s the champ now, letting Cassidy have it with a series of crossface shots.
The fans try to rally Cassidy, but he’s on rubber legs. Moxley mocks him with his hands in his waistband, dropping the champ in the corner before they both end up on the top rope. Orange gives Mox a taste of his own medicine, raking his back and biting him before hitting a pair of DDTs.
Moxley dodges an Orange Punch and hits a series of straight rights, but the champ hits a PK and an Orange Punch for a near fall. Beach Break is countered by a Gotch-style piledriver, and after both men have pinning predicaments, Moxley grabs a bulldog choke. He has a body scissors on too, then looks for an armbar. Mox pivots to a LeBell Lock, and Cassidy is super bloody now. Cassidy swings his lower body around and gets his legs to the bottom rope to break the hold.
With Cassidy in agony on the floor, Moxley starts tearing up the ringside padding. Mox wants a piledriver on the uncovered floor, but the champ reverses it into a Beach Break and kicks Moxley’s head into the steel steps.
Mox stumbles around but barely beats the 10 count. Cassidy hits two Orange Punches, but on the third, Moxley counters with a cutter. Orange comes back with a third Orange Punch and a spear, but Mox kicks out at two.
Finally, Cassidy gets to put his hands in his pockets, but his calm kicks turn into frenzied ones. Alas, Mox hits a King Kong lariat, then another, but Orange kicks out at two.
Mox hits the Death Rider, and it appears it’s over until Cassidy barely rolls a shoulder up. Cassidy staggers to his feet and flips Mox the double bird, so Moxley hits a high angle Death Rider to finally end it and give us a new champion.
After Moxley leaves with the rest of the BCC, Cassidy finally rises to the cheers of the fans at the United Center. “Thank you Orange” chants ring out too, and he acknowledges the fans.
