The American Nightmare delivered an inspiring suplex from the ladder. Rhodes sent The Spanish God’s midsection-first onto the steel bars of the ladder.
The wrestlers were spread across two ladders as Rhodes delivered the Cross Rhodes to climb the ladder. However, Guevara somehow joined Rhodes on the ladder. Both men dangled from the belt holder and crashed into the mat below.
The turning point in the match came when Guevara wiped out Rhodes with a dive then downed him with GTH on the floor.
