Matt Jackson attempted to Two Sweet everyone after the elimination, Lio Rush played along, and then dropkicked Matt right in the back of the head and out of the ring.
Elimination #14: Nick Jackson freaked out and attacked Lio Rush when Rush dumped his brother. Nick battered Rush into the corner and was stomping a mudhole in him. He failed to notice Trent Beretta casually walk up, and dump him out of the ring.
THE YOUNG BUCKS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATEDElimination #15: Lio Rush was down in the corner, and
Trent Beretta had just dumped Nick Jackson to the floor. So Lio jammed his head between the legs of Trent, and stood up as hard and fast as he could while pushing Trent up and backwards. A shocked Beretta scrambled to hold onto the ropes, but it all happened too fast and he tumbled to the floor.

2) Tommy End vs Keith Lee - Round Robin Challenge Round 1
The first match of three for both men saw them start tentatively, circling one another and throwing punches. Tommy End finally lashed out with a huge kick to the thigh of big Keith Lee, and he followed it with another to the midsection that seemed to immediately knock the wind out of Lee. End was relentless from that point, peppering Lee with kicks and elbow strikes. Lee finally had enough and shoved End into the ropes and went for a huge clothesline, but End actually hit the arm with a knee strike, then kicked Lee hard in the face. End hit the top rope and dropped down with his flying Death Stomp, covering Lee for the three count and the fall.
Winner: Tommy End---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Cody Rhodes vs Adam Cole - Round Robin Challenge Round 1
When the bell rang to signal the start of this match, Adam Cole cockily strutted to the middle of the ring, threw his arms in the air, and yelled out "ADAM COLE BAY BAY!!" He then turned and charged at Cody Rhodes who grabbed him and smoothly rolled him into a small package. Cody cinched down with all he had as the referee counted One, Two, Three!!
Winner: Cody Rhodes---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the introduction of SPIKE Television Champion Roderick Strong and his manager So Cal Val, the TV Title Tumbler is rolled onto the stage and Whitfield James comes out to draw the opponent."Very interesting. Ladies and Gentleman, tonight's challenger for the SPIKE Television Title, the first ever Olympian to compete in a CWS ring, making his Championship Wrestling Spike debut....
"Mr. Athletic" Jeff Cobb!!"4) Roderick Strong w/So Cal Val vs Jeff Cobb - {
SPIKE Television Championship} <13th Defense>
Cobb apparently hadn't been watching his Roderick Strong matches, as Strong flew across the ring and blasted him with the Sick Kick almost immediately. Strong covered and scored the One, Two, Thr...KICKOUT!! Strong was quick to pull Cobb to his feet and deliver a couple chips to his chest, before heading back into the ropes and coming back across with another Sick Kick. Cobb however sidestepped and plucked Roderick out of mid-air, stopping his momentum before reversing it with the Athletic Plex! Cobb then shocked everyone who had never seen him before with a standing moonsault/standing shooting star press combo. Roderick somehow kicked out at two. Cobb hooked his waist, hoisted him up and delivered a series of Bam-Bam rolling gutwrench suplexes, then tossed Strong half way across the ring with a pumphandle fallaway slam. Cobb looked to have everything in control, but Strong raked the eyes and began firing chop after chop into the chest of Cobb. A kick to the midsection and a Gibson Driver put Cobb down, but Strong only got a count of two. Strong yanked Cobb up by the hair, and went for yet another Sick Kick, but Cobb launched himself head first into Strong as he bounced off the ropes and looked to have knocked him out with a missile headbutt. Cobb wasn't finished, sending Roderick into the ropes and catching with the Tour of the Islands, before scoring the historic three count.
WINNER, AND NEWWWW SPIKE TELEVISION CHAMPION: "MR. ATHLETIC" JEFF COBB!!!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Keith Lee vs Cody Rhodes - Round Robin Challenge Round 2
As Keith Lee went for the collar and elbow, Cody immediately dropkicked him in the knee. Lee went down to a kneeling position, and Rhodes fired a series of elbows to the head and then superkicked him down. Cody quickly locked in his American Nightmare submission hold and was screaming for Lee to tap. Keith Lee clawed his way to the ropes, and Cody was forced to break the hold. Rhodes went to work on the leg, stomping the knee, wrenching it, dropping elbows and knees into the joint. Pretty much everything he could do to keep the big man down. But Lee fought his ass off and made it back to his feet, where he leveled Cody with a huge clothesline, that bought him time to massage some life back into his leg. Lee dumped Cody over his head with a standing belly to belly suplex, and continued trying to work some blood flow back into his beaten limb. Cody charged again, and Lee tried another clothesline, Cody ducked it and nailed Lee with his Disaster Kick which scored a count of two. From that point the match was back and forth for several minutes. The end came when Cody attempted to get Lee in Cross Rhodes, but Keith muscled Cody onto his shoulders and planted him with the Ground Zero. He hooked the leg and the referee counted the One, Two, Three.
Winner: Keith Lee---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6) Tommy End vs Adam Cole - Round Robin Challenge Round 2
For someone who got pinned in mere seconds in his first match, Adam Cole had a huge smile on his face to start this one. As soon as the bell rang, Cole again walked to the center of the ring, threw his arms the air and superkicked an unsuspecting Tommy End in the face. Cole was unrelenting after that, dragging End to a sitting position, and superkicking him in the back of the head, not once but twice. Cole then yanked End to his feet by the hair, and dropped him on his head with the Florida Key. Cole didn't bother going for the pin, instead pulling End up again, and destroying him with the Panama Sunrise. He arrogantly covered him for the three count and the win.
Winner: Adam Cole---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well this didn't last long. Lio Rush charged across the ring and attempted to whip Michael Elgin into the ropes, Elgin reversed and Rush attempted a leaping clothesline that saw him bounce off the chest of Big Mike. Cage entered and charged across the ring, kicking O'Spreay to the floor. Elgin scooped Rush up off the mat and flattened him with the Elgin Bomb for the One, Two, Three.
Winners, and Still CWS World Tag Team Champions: Michael Elgin and Brian Cage, The Unbreakable Machines---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8) Keith Lee vs Adam Cole - Round Robin Challenge Round 3
Going into the third match of the evening for both men, the strategy of Adam Cole became apparent. The much larger Keith Lee looked worn down from his two previous encounters, while Adam Cole whose first match lasted mere seconds looked much fresher. Cole being the arrogant prick he is was doing jumping jacks during right introductions. Cole used his speed to avoid Lee for the first several minutes of the match, throwing kicks and dropkicks at the legs of the big man. Lee was finally able to catch hold of Cole and battered him around for a while, but you could tell that Lee was slowing down. The end came when Cole managed to slide out behind Lee when Keith hoisted him up, and superkicked Lee in the back of the leg. He then fired another superkick into the back of Lee's head. Cole then shocked everyone when he managed to hook Lee for the Florida Key and while it wasn't pretty, got him over and held on for the three count.
Winner: Adam Cole---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9) Tommy End vs Cody Rhodes - Round Robin Challenge Round 3
These two went at it from the opening bell and the place was going nuts. There were several near falls between both men, and the match looked like it could go either way when all of a sudden Adam Cole slid into the ring. He smiled and flipped Cody Rhodes off, before superkicking Tommy End in the face. The referee immediately called for the DQ.
Winner: Tommy End---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adam Cole immediately began running around ringside celebrating, as his win over Tommy End gives him the tie breaker victory in the Round Robin Challenge!No, No, No, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!Whitfield James walks onto the stage and looks furious.Not a chance Adam Cole. It isn't happening like this. Take your ass to the dressing room, or I will throw you out of the whole thing. Referee, give Tommy End time to recover, and then restart this match.James yells at Adam Cole as the two of them walk backstage, but Cole just keeps looking back to the ring, angered that his plan has been foiled.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9) Tommy End vs Cody Rhodes (Continued)
Cody Rhodes actually asked for Tommy End to kick him so that the odds would be even, but Tommy declined, opting to just walk off the superkick before resuming the match. These two picked back up where they left off, going at it hard, and not acting like they had both already wrestled tonight. The turning point came when Cody rebounded off the ropes and caught End with his Disaster Kick. Tommy was staggered, and Cody dropped him with a gourdbuster. Cody hooked in his American Nightmare leglock and nearly secured the submission, but End made the ropes. Tommy got back to his feet and belted Cody with some hard punches to the face and chest, but when he threw a kick to the chest of Rhodes, it was obvious that the damage had been done to the legs. Cody sucked up the pain of the kick, and sprung off the ropes again with another Disaster Kick, and then went right back to the American Nightmare. Tommy End fought and clawed for the ropes, but couldn't make it. Finally he just stared into the eyes of Cody Rhodes and gritted his teeth, Cody pushed himself up with his arms and End slipped off his elbows onto his back. The referee checked on him, and Tommy End had passed out from the pain.
Winner: Cody Rhodes---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rhodes takes a moment to check on Tommy End, before mounting the turnbuckles and celebrating his victory.
Silas Young walks onto the stage with the CWS World Heavyweight Title slung over his shoulder, sarcastically clapping for his next challenger.
The show goes off the air with a long shot over the shoulder of the champion, as Rhodes points to him from atop a turnbuckle.
