Legacy vs. DeGeneration X

   After the opening match, Josh Matthews was backstage with Legacy. Matthews reminds them that DX has never submitted as a team. Cody Rhodes says this won’t be a match. It will be more of a fight. He says DiBiase Jr. and he aren’t submission specialists, but this match is about finding DX’s breaking point. Ted DiBiase Jr. says they will make DX tap for the first time. He says DX were entertaining for a while, but after some time, you have to throw them away.

  Before the match, Jerry Lawler thanks Lynard Skynard for tonight’s theme song, “Still Unbroken” from the Gods & Guns album. We get a video package for the first of our triple main event. Legacy has been running hot since working with Randy Orton, and they’ve been taking the fight to DX over recent weeks. This is the first Submissions Count Anywhere match.

  DX make their way out first as Lillian Garcia explains that the match only ends by submission, but it can occur anywhere in Montreal. The crowd chant “You Screwed Bret” as Triple H is doing his pre-match promo. We get a reference to the Montreal ScrewJob as Triple H blames Michaels and says he wasn’t even there. Legacy make their way to the ring. This is the 2nd straight PPV match between these teams.

Jerry “The King” Lawler & Michael Cole are on commentary for this match, Lillian Garcia is our ring announcer

WINNERS: LEGACY

 . This was a good match, but you could tell they were holding something back to complete a trilogy. Some of the submission spots worked well and the double-teams added a new dimension to the match. Montreal callbacks are a necessary evil and when you watch individual matches they don’t get too tiresome. Legacy got a big win over household names too, which is always good. [***] 6/10

After the match, Legacy celebrate and leave ringside as Triple H checks on Michaels.
