As the match continued, Rhodes began to increasingly use the strap by whipping Marshall with it, even as Aaron Solow and Dustin Rhodes tried to interfere on their respective partner’s behalf.
Marshall gained some momentum with an impactful avalanche powerbomb. He then threw Rhodes into the corner and wrapped him up with the strap.

Just when it looked like Rhodes was down and out for good, “The American Nightmare” rallied with an onslaught of whipping attacks. Rhodes then connected on a huge Cody Cutter, but Marshall seemed unfazed, as he spit in Rhodes’ face in a disrespectful moment
Still, Rhodes quickly brushed it off and connected on three forceful Cross Rhodes that put Marshall down for good.
