Cole won the Men's Tournament by nailing Joe with his The Boom finisher. Baker, Cole's significant other, then won the Women's finals by reversing Soho's Victory Roll attempt with a pin. The two then embraced on the entrance ramp as Dr. Martha Hart made her way out onto the stage. She thanked everyone for the warm reception and awarded the pair with their new championships.
