Rating: The pre-show bout started off fairly sluggish but found a decent rhythm soon enough as the pair attempted to test one another's strength.

As usual with the pre-show, commercials ate up about two minutes of the match, but when we returned Corbin absolutely killed Crews with an impressive clothesline, and the crowd were super-hot from the get-go even as fans continued to file in.

Things got extremely physical late in the game as the two went outside, and overall this just ended up being a really solid pre-show opener. It didn't outstay its welcome but told a decent story even if it didn't set the ring on fire.

6/10
