The Butler's head bounces-off of the mat thanks to Drako's stomp, which angers him and makes him bring himself back up to his feet!

Drako goes right after the Butler, looking to catch him with a quick right to the head before attempting to whip him to the ropes. If all goes as planned, he'd follow with a back body drop on the rebound

Drako keeps on the pressure, a right to the head as The Butler stands allows him to Irish Whip The Butler in to the ropes.
As The Butler returns, he sees Drako lower his upper body in preparation, so he looks to counter with a facebreaker knee smash!

Drako thought things were well in hand, until the Butler smashes his face into his knee to avoid the back body drop. Drako pops back after the knee smash, not down but dazed as he stumbles back with a hand going to his face

The Butler assesses the situation as Drako looks dazed.
He feels like he can approach the big man, looking to use his strength to lift Drako up and take aim at his wounded back with a backbreaker!

all good things come to an end, as Drako is unfortunately lifted and dropped with a backbreaker. He hits the mat, rolling slightly onto his side and arching his bac in pain. That was going to hurt for a while

Butler: "Look at you now, huh?!
Who's the man around here?!
I'm the man!"
The Butler talks trash at Drako as he stands over him, before deciding to break Drako's back completely by trying to apply a Boston Crab!

well, the Butler has some sense of strategy doesn't he? Drako soon finds himself locked into a Boston Crab, definitely making the pain in his back worse

The crowd claps and chants for Drako as The Butler continues to apply the hold and put pressure on his opponents spine.
The Butler tries to lean back further, he'd love to be able to tell the world that he tapped Drako out!

Drako is struggling here, Mania was a long and rough night and somehow the Butler developed a brain and clearly knew where to target. Drako won't tap, especially to the Butler, but he's clearly in pain. Time to claw his way towards the ropes

The Butler can feel Drako gradually moving towards the ropes.
He chooses to keep the hold applied for as long as he can as Drako reaches out and grabs the bottom rope!

Drako finally reaches the ropes and grabs the bottom one, but in fact goes one step further, actually attempting to pull his body under said rope and to the apron to force the Butler to release him

The referee begins to count The Butler for keeping the hold applied, while Drako pulls his body towards the apron.
The Butler looks disappointed as he releases the hold at four, but he can cheer himself up by trying to kick Drako out of the ring completely!

free of the hold, Drako gets an unwarranted assist in getting out of the ring from the Butler. Perhaps he'd kicked the Butler in the face one too many times over the years so he's holding a grudge. Rude.
Out on the floor, the Soaring Dragon rolls to the barricade to begin to pull himself up again

The Butler doesn't want to give up his advantageous position by giving Drako too much time to recover, so he exits the ring through the top and middle ropes, hopping off of the apron.
He sees Drako pulling himself up by the barricade and simply looks to grab the back of Drako's head and slam his face in to the barricade!
