Thoughts: It was what you would expect with a lot of flying and a fast finishing stretch. The heels controlled this for the first half then the faces came back and won. It was solid match for this level of a show and I liked it.

Cruz top rope crossbodies Rusev for 2. Cruz running knees him then asai moonsaults him for 1. Rusev pumping superkicks him. Rusev then camel clutches him to win.

Thoughts: It got a decent bit of a time for a match with an obvious outcome. It was fine with Rusev dominating and Cruz getting some comebacks in before going down. Rusev won as expected here but Rusev being on Main Event is definitely a downgrade for him.

Rusev keeps the hold on for a bit after and the ref has to break it up.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches with replays as usual. Both matches were fine but nothing you really need to see. I liked the tag match best here. You don't need to see this one, but it's not a bad way to spend a few minutes.
