Chris Jericho takes a ladder from the outside and rides it over the top rope where he smashes Christian into the mat.

Christian now goes up top, where Jericho fights to catch him and he hooks on a reverse Walls of Jericho on the top of the ladder. Christian falls down and Jericho tries to grab the belt, but Christian knocks the ladder out from under him and both men our down and out. Now both men have a ladder as they both try to go up after the Ladder and then both men take a tumble back down to the mat. Jericho sets up another ladder and climbs it and reaches for the belt. He is trying to undo it before Christian gets to him and he does!
