«Rhodes was booed a lot. He came out seeing emotional. They made the basic sequences in dinner from the beginning. It was a star fight for the WWE -style title, full of repeated use of final movements over and over again. Rhodes applied a Cody Cutter.
«Cena made an AA. Rhodes made a block of Moonsault and a Cody Cutter from the third rope, in addition to a hammer. Cena made his second AA. Dinner applied the STF and Rhodes reached the strings, but in a Street Fight there is no break per touch of strings. Rhodes left the ring and threw dinner over the barricade.
«Code did a Code Red on the ground and looked happy to have executed it perfectly. Then applied AA number 3 on the commentators table in Spanish. Rhodes made the first Cross Rhodes. Dinner applied number 4 and Rhodes got out of the account. They fought among the public for a while.
«Rhodes threw a garbage boat to Cena, who caught him. Both looked tired. Rhodes threw a bicycle fence to dinner. Dinner threw something at Rhodes, failed by a lot, but Rhodes sold it the same. Rhodes supplexed dinner against the barricade.
«They went under the stage to fight and went out for the entrance elevator that Rhodes uses. When Cena climbed the elevator, Rhodes was already on his shoulders. Cena carried him to the ring and threw him against the ramp, then put him back to the ring. Rhodes threw Cena against a table.
«Rhodes applied the second Cross Rhodes for a nearby account. Rhodes used a chair and then unleashed the lower rope. He tried to hit him with the steel tensioner, but Cena dodged twice. Dinner applied a STF using the lower rope. Rhodes escaped and applied an anaconda vise using the strings.

Rhodes made a Cody Cutter from the third rope crossing a table, followed by Cross Rhodes number 6, and won the victory on behalf of three. ★★★★★
«Rhodes was exhausted at the end. They hugged. This was supposed to be the time to pass the torch, although Cena had already done that years ago with Reigns when he stopped fighting full time. But it was a real classic. Rhodes left the ring for dinner.
«Cena stayed in the ring while people cheered him. Brock Lesnar's music rang, probably the biggest reaction of the weekend. Lesnar entered the ring and applied an F-5 to dinner to close the show ».
