In the mean time, Morrison slides out of the ring. Miz and Nikki Bella raise Morrison to his feet and all three starts to head back up the ramp.
Theodore Long’s music plays and the crowd applaud him. Long says that he will not have this match end on a count out and says that he has gotten a stipulation approved regarding the tag team unification match for WrestleMania, it will now be a Lumberjack Match! Long introduces the lumberjacks, some of which include Cryme Time, Great Khali, Chavo Guerrero, R Truth, Jaime Noble, Mike Knox, Charlie Haas, William Regal, etc. The lumberjacks march towards the ring and force Morrison to head back towards the ring. Miz, Primo and the Bella Twins spend the rest of the match on the apron.
As Morrison nears the ring, Carlito grabs him by the hair and attempts a suplex, but Morrison jumps off and tries his springboard kick, but misses. The two men quickly recover and take each other down with a double clothesline. Shortly thereafter, Carlito dropkicks Morrison out of the ring. A large sum of the lumberjacks pound on Morrison and hurl him back in the ring. When Morrison gets up, he looks at the lumberjacks, but doesn’t see Carlito coming from behind. Carlito connects with the Back Stabber for the win.
