<b>ECW Championship Scramble Match</b>
Rules for the match courtesy of WWE.com: <b>"The rules for the pay-per-view match are simple. There will be a 20-minute time limit. Two randomly selected participants will start the match, with a new challenger entering every five minutes. If a Superstar scores a pinfall or submission on any other Superstar in the match, he is declared the "interim" champion for match purposes (and is not officially recognized as champion in the title history). He holds that title until another Superstar scores a subsequent pinfall or submission on any other Superstar. The last Superstar to earn a pinfall or submission within the time limit will be officially declared the ECW Champion."</b>
