He grabbed Nash and hit the Jackhammer before escaping the cage.

Main Event. TLC - Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels   World Heavyweight Championship
The vote was between a Hell in a Cell, Last Man Standing or TLC match. Triple H focused on the legs of Shawn Michaels before sending him to the outside. Michaels made it back in only to receive a Pedigree. Triple H then landed a back breaker. Both men were on the ladder. Michaels punched Triple H. Hunter came back with a right of his own and sent Michaels crashing to the floor. He then pulled down the title.
