Jakob Hammermeier is out and attacking Hallowicked but Crossbones -- Mantis' old allie -- makes his return to run him off. Donst meanwhile has gotten the ring bell and attacks Hallowicked with it! Two count! Donst sets up a chair in the corner between the middle and top turnbuckle. He whips Hallowicked into it but the attempt is reversed and Donst goes head first! Praying Mantis Driver for two when Ares breaks the pin up!
Ares nails Mantis with a Tiger Driver but Mantis kicks out at two. Hallowicked now to his feet and it looks like it will be two on two but Donst leaves the ring! He begins walking to the backstage! The BDK is falling apart! Another Praying Mantis Driver -- this time on Ares and this time through a chair -- earns Mantis the win and the Eye of Tyr!
Winner: The Spectral Envoy (UltraMantis Black/Hallowicked)

Winner and NEW Grand Champion: Eddie Kingston
"War King" is presented with the title in a very emotional ceremony. He's in tears as the crowd chants Larry Sweeney's name.
Kingston holds the belt up and looks towards the heavens. He says he promised the best wrestling product (emphasis on wrestling) today. He says that anyone from New York, anyone from "that piece of crap in Florida" can come to Philly. Be it CM Punk, John Cena, or AJ Styles, no one touched Chikara.
