As Edge and Kennedy fought, they struck a deal. Kennedy walked out, allowing Edge to get a countout victory.

Final
For the BFW World Heavyweight Title

Jarrett took advantage of a tired Page, and came out victorious.
Jeff Jarrett is the new BFW World Heavyweight Champion, and held the belt up high to a stunned crowd here in Italy.

A decent first show. Our next show will emanate from Torino, Italy. We'll have a rematch from tonight's tournament final, and it will be for the BFW World Title.
See you next time.
