A fired-up Curt Hawkins interrupts Elias' performance, demanding a match against The Living Truth.

Curt Hawkins has lost 218 matches in a row. Elias is out there trash-talking his home city. So it was a case of “if not now, then when?” for The Prince of Queens, who interrupted Elias’ performance, challenged him to a match and gave The Living Truth such a tough fight that it looked as though the former WWE Tag Team Champion’s infamous losing streak would finally be snapped.

Alas, the goose egg remained, though Hawkins put up a valiant effort, forcing Elias to spring a trap, catching Hawkins with a knee as he climbed between the ropes to set up Drift Away. Between the heart, the fire and the “You can do it” chants from the WWE Universe, Hawkins can certainly count this one as a moral victory, though a literal one remains just out of reach.
