Result: Harper lands a Discus Clothesline for the victory (9:00).

Rating: How hilarious is it that Erick Rowan is in the penultimate match on a PPV? Few fans were jazzed about this match going in, but it was basically a fine, passable cool-down match ahead of the main event.

Harper did rock solid work as usual, and Rowan gets a lot of flack but he put in a decent performance here too. The match didn't belong on a PPV, but such is the price we pay for brand-specific shows.

The ending was laughably mild, though: Harper's Discus Clothesline totally lacked impact and just looked like a "normal" clothesline. 5/10
