During the match, which had a retirement stipulation, Elizabeth was spotted in the crowd and the cameras would keep cutting to her as she seemingly grew more and more concerned for Savage's well being.

Despite taking five elbow drops, Warrior won the match after hitting the Macho King with three jumping shoulder blocks, the last of which sent him flying out of the ring.

Shocked to see what his former manager had done for him, Savage emotionally embraced Elizabeth and sent the crowd into raptures.
