Mere minutes later, Devlin and Escobar set up for their next big spot. It happened to be a Spanish Fly off the ladder (they were around three quarters of the way up for this one), which was another dangerous-looking decision. Thankfully, it paid off big time.

Again, Devlin landed flush on his front.

It's a credit to both these guys that they actually made moves like this look so easy throughout their scuffle. There's no sense in criticising them for going heavy on the spots either - fans know exactly what they're going to get from a ladder match in 2021, and most would even be a tad disappointed if there weren't some huge falls in there.

Extra plaudits go to Escobar for ensuring that he tucked his legs until the very last minute pre-bump. That was a long way down, so he'd have been forgiven for trying to get flat as quickly as possible.
