SEI's Final Ever Show
2-out-of-3 Falls Match
CM Punk vs. Triple H III
Triple H had severe difficulty accepting Punks victory in their first rematch, and so forcefully requested a second one, with his own stipulation in place - 2-out-of-3 falls, so as to prevent any further flukes from taking place. Punk, rather than allow his previous superiority stay untouched, accepted the challenge, and the intense rivalry is set to come to a dramatic conclusion.
The match started off slowly, with neither competitor wishing to take risks in such an important match. However, Triple Hs need for revenge soon took over, leading to a genuinely brutal brawl between the two, including shots with steel steps and ring posts. The first fall went to CM Punk, after he was unexpectedly rolled into a small package.
The Game didnt take this well, battering Punk with everything he had and leaving him a bloody mess, before delivering a Pedigree onto the steel steps and getting the second fall.
Triple H went for the win almost immediately, but Punk displayed incredible resiliency by kicking out, and reducing the Cerebral Assassin to a similar state that he was in. Triple H kicked out of a Go 2 Sleep, so a second one was on order, and the Anaconda Vice was applied before he even hit the floor. The last fall, and the victory, went to Punk, after it was determined that Triple H had got 2 sleep so to speak.
CM Punk wins via pinfall.

Cage Match
Jeff Jarrett vs. Colt Cabana
Jarrett was on a high after defeating none other than Mike Awesome, but it would seem that he didnt quite get the respect he wished for. Desperate times called for desperate measures, and he left Colt Cabana a bloody mess. However, it would seem he underestimated Cabana, and was similarly left on his back, now with the prospect of a cage match between the two hanging over his head.
The blood flowed early in this match, at least over Jarretts face, which became what is known simply as the crimson mask. Cabanas domination was almost complete until Jarrett, using a low blow and the steel cage as a weapon, fought back to even the terms slightly. Jarrett felt the conditions were right for an escape, but Cabana obviously felt differently, scaling the cage after him. The two fought atop of it until the two took a spill - Jarrett back into the ring and Cabana through the announce table.
Colt Cabana wins via escape.

Elimination Tag Team Match
The Steiner Bros. - Scott and Rick Steiner vs.
Generation Next - Austin Aries & Roderick Strong vs.
The Latin American Xchange - Homicide & Hernandez
The three teams were thrown into the match for the mere reason of the spectacle that would almost definitely be produced. Generation Next had already lost out to both LAX and the Steiners, and look for redemption. The Steiners and LAX looked for the same thing, proving that they deserved their spot , that they were the best candidates for tag team champions. Little more than pride is on the line, but thats precious enough.
The Steiner Brothers dominated early on in the match, Aries and Strong ended up waiting on the outside taking on big Hernandez while Homicide was picked apart in the ring. Until Generation Next became the next targets, that is, and LAX were allowed some time to recover. The Latin team came back with a vengeance, Hernandez clearing the ring and Homicide attacking the downed with his trademark fork. Strong was taken out with a Border Toss and Scott Steiner was finished with a Gringo Killer. It appeared it was all over for LAXs opponents until, incredibly, Aries and Rick teamed together. A Steiner Driver eliminated Homicide and Hernandez was finished with a 450 Splash. As Steiner celebrated his pin, he was all of a sudden pushed into a small package, leaving Generaton Next ultimately victorious.
Generation Next win by pinfall.

SEI Television Title Championship Triple Threat Match
Rob Van Dam © vs. Eddie Guerrero vs. Samoa Joe
A tournament was kicked off to find the best candidate for the challenger to the TV title, but Joe and Guerrero couldnt be separated in the finals. The match was then announced as a Triple Threat match. Joe and Guerrero look to continue their rivalry with a new prize on the line, but Rob Van Dam merely looks to show his abilities when it comes to defending Television titles.
Van Dam was taken out of the match early as Guerrero and Joe, inexplicably, double teamed him, leaving him badly battered on the outside. With him out of the way, the two looked to finally settle their rivalry, with Joe just eking out the advantage with his fast paced strike moves, even hitting the Muscle Buster.
However, RVD came back into the match and knocked Joe right out of the ring, before getting the win by hitting the Five Star Frog Splash on an already hurt Guerrero.
Rob Van Dam wins by pinfall.

Submission Match
Sting vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
Sting held a massive grudge for Austin supposedly costing him the championship against The Rock and demanded this match from Bischoff. Austin, never one to turn down a fight, obliged by beating Sting down viciously and throwing him from the entrance ramp into electrical equipment. In order to make sure a similar occurrence wouldnt grant Stone Cold victory, Bischoff announced this titanic meeting would be a submission match.
Sting attempted to keep Austin down in the early goings, but it seemed this failed as soon found himself being out brawled in the crowd. Stone Cold brought him back in the ring and started to take apart Sting limb-by-limb. However, the latter used some smart reversals to get back on top, and a steel chair to further damage Austins weak knees and backs. As Austin fought back, also using weapons, both were shedding copious amounts of blood, sweat and even tears. Sting finally came out on top and locked in the Scorpion Deathlock. It seemed Austin would pass out rather than tap out, as he did against Bret Hart all those years ago. This time though, he managed to reverse the manoeuvre, and Sting ended up being forced to submit.
Stone Cold wins via submission.

SEI World Tag Team Championship Match
The Motor City Machine Guns - Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin © vs.
AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels
Shelley and Sabin requested deserving challengers to their newly won titles and they certainly got them with the debut of AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels. Bischoff set up the match immediately. This match would be a test of sheer athleticism and would decide who would be SEIs ultimate tag team.
The two teams were very well matched in the beginning, control switching as a member of each team was pushed away for a certain amount of time. Sabin took both himself and Daniels out for time after he hit the latter with a Suicide Dive while the former was perched on the apron. Shelley and Styles were left to face each other one-on-one. Styles initially got the upper hand, but Shelley managed to send him tumbling out to the end of the ring, at the expense of going with him. As they got up, they were hit by Sabin and Daniels respectively from over the ropes. The match took back to the ring, where again, both teams fought for dominance. The Guns managed to perform superior team manoeuvres and sent Styles to the outside again, before taking down Daniels with a springboard dropkick from Sabin followed by a Shellshock from Shelley. Styles was merely a second too late to break up the ensuing pin with a Spiral Tap.
The Motor City Machine Guns win via pinfall.
After the match, the teams hugged and shook hands, before Styles & Daniels put the belts around the Guns waists.

Main Event
SEI World Heavyweight Championship Match
The Rock © vs. Shawn Michaels
The main event in every sense of the phrase. Shawn Michaels earned this match a month ago when he defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The Rock has successful in defending his world heavyweight title ever since he won it at SEIs first ever Pay-Per-View, New Era. Tonight, a match that only come second to Austin/Hogan in everybodys all-time wish list takes place to end the roller coaster ride that has been the first season of Sports Entertainment International. Theres no way it wont be a classic.
The crowd were on their feet the entire way through this match, more excited than would generally be thought possible to see two of the biggest professional wrestling legends ever go at it for what has become known as one of the industrys number one prize, and which The Rock has proudly worn around his waist for months. Although The Rock was still in his heel role, the crowd were very unsure who to cheer for so, as is common sense, they gave both a non-stop standing ovation as they pulled everything, every trick they had ever used out of the bag in an attempt to win. From Shawn Michaels going back to his high-flying roots (and being tossed clean out of the ring onto the guardrail) to The Rock performing the Peoples DDT.
The crowd were ecstatic as The Rock delivered the Rock Bottom to HBK, but Michaels wouldnt be pinned. The Rock hit the Peoples Elbow, but Michaels still kicked out. Another Peoples Elbow, and he still would not be beaten. The Rock dragged him to his feet, talking trash directly to his face, when HBK hit the super kick out of nowhere. Both competitors fell to the ground, and the referee began the count. On the count of 9, both kipped up simultaneously. They looked each other in the face, before delivering blows to each other. The Rock succeeded and Layed The Smackdown on Michaels, but he stayed standing. The Rock Irish Whipped him and went for a Spine Buster, but received a clothesline instead. Michaels scrambled to the top rope as quickly as he could, before delivering a Diving Elbow Drop on the Rock and beginning to tune up the band. The Rock stumbled to his feet but caught the Sweet Chin Music, signalling to HBK to Just Bring It proceeding a Rock Bottom attempt. HBK elbowed out of it before hitting a lightning fast Sweet Chin Music and falling on top of The Rock.
Shawn Michaels wins via pinfall and is the new SEI World Heavyweight Champion.
After the match, both superstars shook hands and The Rock handed Michaels the belt, before applauding the new champion as he made his way up the ramp.
