Samoa Joe vs Bobby Roode
Joe unloads on Roode with some punches but Roode comes back with some of his own then whips Joe into the opposite corner and hits a neckbreaker for two. He runs into an elbow by Joe and tries to apply a crossface, but Joe rolls out of the ring and pulls Roode through the ropes. He shoves Roode into the apron then rolls him back in and they trade punches until Joe powerslams him and back splashes him for another near fall. Roode throws some elbows and hits the ropes but Joe runs at him and knocks him down with a hard back elbow, and Joe puts him in a front face lock. Roode makes it to his feet and tries to leapfrog Joe, then gets caught with an atomic drop, but recovers and hits a spinebuster that knocks both guys down. (Cont'd…)
