It's not like Ziggler hasn't done the honors for a recent NXT call-up before. One only has to look back at Survivor Series to see Ziggler put over Tyler Breeze in what rates as Breeze's most notable main roster win by a country mile. There's little chance WWE brought Corbin up from Full Sail to have him win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, only to get tripped up by the ice-cold Ziggler in a pay-per-view match.

I don't anticipate a complete squash; Ziggler will get in his spring-loaded offense, but the match will be all about reinforcing Corbin's unflinching brutality. I could see it being a short match, but not entirely one-sided. Corbin's win will be pretty emphatic, however.
