Bishop executed a crucifix bomb to send Kross crashing through a table. The war took its toll to that point. Both men struggled to their feet to beat the ten-count. Bishop used a chair and the ropes as leverage to rise to his feet at 7. Kross stirred with an effort to use the chair to help stand up. Bishop smartly kicked the chair away, and Kross collapsed back down to the mat. The referee counted to 10. Kross was still down, and Bishop is the new champion.
