Santana leaps over the top, crashing into Alexander on the outside. Santana sets up a table at ringside but Alexander makes him pay with a belly to belly throw.

Alexander hits the C4 Spike but Santana springs to his feet. Santana gains control with a top rope frog splash, followed by Spin the Block. Alexander does not say “I Quit”. Turnabout is fair play as Santana zip-ties Alexander’s hands together. Santana hits another Spin the Block. Santana cannonballs a table as Alexander crumbles beneath.
