Stone Cold tells the Alliance that he is the leader and will stay with them. Vince says that he never takes risks because he knows that it will be 6 on 4! So someone is jumping ship. Regal talks some trash to Vince and Linda.

Match Rating: (****)
An excellent PPV although some matches could of done with a bit more build-up! As it seems that they only focused on the main event! The 10-man tag was VERY exciting and all superstars worked their ass off! That Swanton off the cage was extreme as well! Man, Jeff Hardy will be dead by the time he is 30!
But what happens now? Will the alliance really die? Will anybody return? What will happen at Vengeance? Find out on December 9th! Until then this is Joe O'Connor signing off!
