*Next was Shelton Benjamin vs. HHH trying to beat the clock time of 12:13. HHH immediately tries for the Pedigree but Shelton had some offense. Shelton hit a really nice looking DDT but HHH followed with his normal move set. He hit the Pedigree b ut the ref was down. Time ran out but ref counted 3 at 0. A second ref came out. They argued and showed it on the TitanTron. Then they said that Jeff and HHH both had the same time and Jeff came out.
