9. Crews Standing Moonsault Provides Convincing Near Fall
Of the 5 matches which aired as part of the pay-per-view style presentation, Baron Corbin vs. Apollo Crews was arguably the worst. The fans really tried their best to get into proceedings, but there was something lacking from the match compared to others on the card. Both men worked hard however, but they were deservedly given the least time. Amongst the highlights of the match, Crews took an sweet looking bump to the outside. Hurled over the ropes by Corbin, his head collided with the ring steps. Even the fans close by, who would have surely seen Apollo use his hands to strike the steel, looked impressed. That wasn't the best bit of the bout, even though it was wonderfully executed. Later in the match, Crews hit a spectacular Standing Moonsault. The move garnered a close near fall, one which fooled many of the audience. People seemed to really think the babyface would win with the move, which only made Corbin look strong when he kicked out. Corbin would win the match, which wasn't a popular decision, but at least Crews got to shine with some big moves before he was beaten.
