Ted DiBiase (w/Virgil) by DISQUALIFICATION @ 20:15 when Antonio Cesaro and Ox Baker stormed the ring.
-Wild match with a wild finish. Early in the bout Bundy hit the AVALANCHE and it would have ended there if not for Virgil sacrificing himself to Bundy who threw him into the ringpost. The momentum changed and DiBiase had the Million Dollar Dream locked in but Bundy was able to reach the ropes to force a break. After a reversal of the Turnbuckle Whip Bundy hit the Avalanche again. With that Virgil motioned to the back and Cesaro and Baker stormed the ring stomping away on Bundy. The ref called for the bell. Soon Heenan's family joined in and it was a huge brawl. The camera faded to black and that's the end of GWF-Season One.
