As mentioned earlier, Cole’s contract with the WWE expired in July. Instead of walking out of the company he chose to sign a short term deal in order to put O’Reilly over on his way out.

The two met in a two out of three falls match tonight. All three matches had different stipulations.

The first one was a regular match. The second fall was a street fight and the final fall, if it came to that, was a steel cage match.

O’Reilly managed to pick up a quick win in their normal match before Cole even the odds in their street fight.

Down to the Steel Cage match, O’Reilly managed to bring the match to an end after forcing Cole into a submission.
