From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone said, “What is he doing!?! If he can’t unlock the box, he can’t secure the title, he can’t win title!” Seconds later, the workman who secured the key above the ring before the match appeared and handed Hansen another key before taking off his hat to reveal himself to be a her…Stan Hansen’s valet, Lady Amazon! From the broadcast booth, Schiavone said, “She switched the keys! Lady Amazon switched the keys before the match!” With the real key in his hand, Hansen unlocked the box and secured the LCW Heritage Championship. From the broadcast booth, Schiavone said, “This was Stan Hansen’s match. It was his suggestion to have a locked box ladder match. You’ve got to believe this was a setup from the beginning. They had this planned from the beginning.” Hansen left with the title and Lady Amazon.
