Match

Corbin takes McIntyre off his feet with a shoulder tackle, but McIntyre answers with a shoulder tackle of his own. Drew then clotheslines Corbin out of the ring and over the ramp. He uses another clothesline to send Corbin over the barricade and another to bring him back to the ringside area. Corbin, of course, caught McIntyre coming back in the ring. After Corbin tossed McIntyre into the barricade, he threw him into the ring post.

Back in the ring, Corbin hit a superplex, but Drew kicked out at one. King Corbin then began to run his mouth, and McIntyre caught him with an overhead belly to belly and then a chop off the top rope.

Corbin made another comeback running McIntyre shoulder fist into the post and following with a side suplex. McIntyre again kicked out at one.

The future shock dot set up an attempt for the Claymore kick, but Corbin evaded and hit deep six. McIntyre kicked out. Drew hit the Glasgow kiss and then the Claymore kick for the pinfall victory.
