Backstory: These two men have been at it for several months now fighting for pride in the matches and the X-Division Gold. This match started at Destination X in a Gauntlet match for the Title when these two men had a controversial match ending with each man pinning each other to end the match. This led to a big match at Lockdown for the title which Homicide won controversially by using the help of Konnan to get the win. They had another match at Sacrifice in which he purposely got himself DQ’ed by pummeling him with a steel chair leaving him bloody and bruised to end the show. Finally there was a match made at Slamiversary for the X Title in a New York Street Fight, which is basically a Street Fight with various weapons you would find in New York City.

Through the loss of his blood AJ has forgot that getting to the ropes will do nothing as this is a NO DQ match.

He brings the ladder back into the ring, where he waits for Homicide to get up to make sure he stays down. Cide’ gets up, and is rudely awakened with the taste of ladder right into his face, looking like he got a tooth knocked out. Styles looks pleased so he sets up the ladder near the corner of the ring.
AJ climbs up very slowly, but he eventually gets to the top of the ladder. AJ takes a little too long performing to the fans, taunting his opponent saying that this is the end.
