Final Resolution 2005: Ultimate X Steals the Championship Spotlight

The Naturals (Chase Stevens and Andy Douglas) defeated Sonny Siaki and Johnny B. Badd. The factual frame is a Tag team match, with the recorded finish classified as PINFALL and the title state recorded as NON_TITLE. As a pre-show match, it is judged partly on whether it creates momentum before the pay-per-view proper without demanding more importance than the card gives it. The match is mixed: the basic purpose is understandable, yet the material does not consistently turn that purpose into compelling viewing. No exact canonical bell-to-bell time is supplied, so the score does not depend on an invented duration. At 5.5 out of 10, the rating is a WrestleFile editorial judgment about the match as part of Final Resolution 2005, not a replacement for the underlying result or historical record.
