Kevin Owens vs. Drew McIntyre
Drew went at KO right off the bat and pummeled him into the corner. He picked up Owens by his beard and then caught him in a submission hold. Owens took control and hit a cannonball but Drew kicked out of it. Owens followed up with a giant Frogsplash before we headed for commercials.
Kevin Owens pushed McIntyre off the turnbuckle and then landed a senton before McIntyre barely kicked out. KO hit two Superkicks and a pop-up powerbomb on Drew before climbing the ropes. McIntyre met him up there and hit a huge slam on KO but failed to capitalize. Drew set up KO on the announce table and KO hit a Stunner on it instead. Back in the ring, KO hit another Superkick and another stunner before getting the three count.
