Baron Corbin vs. Apollo Crews
Corbin had the size advantage and backed Crews into the corner, but Crews overpowered him and drove him all the way across the ring into the opposite corner. Corbin took a powder and had a mini tantrum at ringside. Crews got the better of him on re-entry and the two performed a nice sequence into a Crews dropkick. Moments later however, Corbin sent Crews up and over in the corner, and Crews took the bump at ringside hitting the ring steps on the way down.
Corbin yelled that Crews "should've stayed in Ring of Honor." Back in the ring, Corbin worked over Crews in the corner with shots and repeated clotheslines, finishing up with a running boot. Corbin remained firmly in control. He caught Crews diving off the ropes, but Crews managed to cradle him for a quick two-count. Corbin regained his control with a hard whip into the corner. The crowd began becoming obnoxious with the nonstop songs and chants.
The match broke down into a scrappy brawl with Crews shooting in for repeated double-legs and raining shots down on Corbin, but Corbin ducked out to ringside. Crews was soon to follow with an impressive moonsault off the apron onto Corbin at ringside. Back in the ring, Crews began to roll, but Corbin caught him running the ropes and planted him with a big swinging back suplex slam. Corbin looked to put Crews away with the End of Days, but Crews evaded and hit a big kick to the head and followd up with the standing moonsault for a good near-fall.
Crews looked for his new powerbomb finish, but Corbin held onto the ropes and slipped out. Corbin reeled Crews in and nailed the End of Days out of nowhere for the win.
Baron Corbin pinned Apollo Crews in about 11:40
