Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Baron Corbin
Nakamura wasted little time going after Corbin, taking him to the floor and firing off with knees and strikes. He went for a dropkick up the apron but got leveled by a huge clothesline instead. The Lone Wolf slowed things down during the commercial break, brawling on the floor and using the apron and barricade to his advantage. There was a spot during the break (some providers have picture-in-picture during commercials) where Shinsuke trapped him in a triangle choke out of nowhere, but Corbin powered him into the air and broke it with a big slam. Definitely should have been shown live. Eventually the Artist made his comeback and started throwing stiff kicks and knocked the big man down with a straight boot to the chest. He hit a knee lift in the corner and came flying off the second rope with a missile dropkick, but only got two. Kinshasa attempt, but it’s reversed into a high elevation backbreaker. Corbin started leveling him with knees on the mat, slowly punishing his gut and midsection. Nakamura tried to rally back using his speed to avoid a couple clotheslines but ran into the Deep Six for a close two-count. Corbin tried for End of Days but Nakamura floated out of it and fired off with a flurry of elbows and kicks. A Kinshasa connects to the back of the head, followed by a second to the face. 1…2…3.
Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura
