Jack, limping, tried to fight back and rolled up Daniels for a two count. He ducked a charge and Daniels went to the apron from over the ropes. Daniels was knocked to the floor. Jack "kicked" the leg into the buckles to "fix it" and it finally worked. He exploded into a series of offense maneuvers. Cartwheel nailed a DVDR for a two count. Cartwheel nailed a space flying tiger drop to the floor. Cartwheel went to the top but Daniels rolled to the floor. He pulled Cartwheel into the ring post and then spiked him with a cutter.

Jack tried to rouse the referee but was nailed with the title belt and pinned.

This told a good story and Cartwheel did a great job with selling the knee and with his facial expressions. Daniels was great as the heavy here.
