Match Three: Rey Mysterio vs. Shelton Benjamin (Champion vs. Champion)
The two champions step towards each other talking trash. Mysterio is the first to lash out by delivering a series of kicks to Benjamin's legs. Benjamin grabs one of Mysterio's legs and throws him to the mat in a dragon whip.
Benjamin grabs Mysterio from behind and slides him under the bottom rope, and onto the ground below. Mysterio bounces on the floor and ends up on the hard concrete in front of the ramp.
Benjamin is leaning against the ropes, mocking Mysterio. The crowd are giving him some minor heat. Meanwhile, Mysterio is getting to his feet as the referee gets to seven in his ten count. Mysterio limps back to the ring and rolls under the bottom rope. Benjamin stomps on Mysterio to prevent him from getting to his feet.
Tazz:
You see right there, that's a smart move by Shelton Benjamin. He knows that the only way to beat a high flyer like Rey Mysterio is to keep him grounded.
Benjamin taunts Mysterio again, but this time he gets cut off by Mysterio when he gets his feet taken out from under him. Mysterio jumps to his feet and hits a standing moonsault on Benjamin. Mysterio backs away and waits for Benjamin to get to his feet.
Mysterio connects with a headscissor takedown onto the middle rope. Mysterio runs the ropes and hits Benjamin with the 619. Benjamin is knocked to the ground. Mysterio jumps onto the top rope and goes for a body splash. Benjamin kips up and hits Mysterio with Paydirt. Benjamin goes for the cover. 1... 2... 3!
Winner: Shelton Benjamin
Benjamin rolls under the bottom rope and retrieves his Legends title from ringside before heading up the ramp.
