Hornswoggle kicks Slater in the leg then gets him to one knee and kicks him in the head, but Slater throws him across the ring and chokes him in the corner. Slater puts him on the top turnbuckle but Hornswoggle slaps him in the head and tries to hit a tornado DDT, but Slater tries to throw him on the apron. Hornswoggle holds on and pulls his hair to eliminate Slater, but Slater runs in and attacks him until Justin Gabriel runs out for the save and hits a 450 splash then makes sure Hornswoggle is OK.
