Match

Murphy’s first several attempts at offense had no impact on Drew McIntyre. Murphy rolled to the outside and began to walk up the ram. Drew greeted Murphy and kicked him down onto the ramp. McIntyre then picked up Murphy and rammed into and dropped him on top of the barricade.

Drew McIntyre momentarily lost focus on Seth Rollins and Murphy took advantage. He sent Drew into the barricade twice and then into he post. Back in the ring, Murphy hit a top rope meteora for a one count. After that, nothing seemed to work for Murphy and Drew hit the Glasgow kiss to slow him down. As Murphy attempted to climb the ropes, Drew slapped him off the ropes down onto the barricade.

Drew then came off the top rope with a chop across the head of Murphy. McIntyre went for a top rope move, but Murphy slipped away and hit a chickandos kick and a powerbomb out of the corner for another one count.

Murphy set up to deliver Drew’s own Claymore, but Drew hit it instead for the pinfall victory.
