Result: White takes the win by countering the Rainmaker into the Blade Runner (14:20).

Rating: Like too many of the matches on the card this definitely would've benefited from a few more minutes, but Okada and White did fantastic work within the time allotted regardless.

Most fans surely expected Okada to pick up the win here, so White's victory - and cleanly at that - was the night's big surprise without question, and one which he certainly earned over the course of the match.

The reversals were especially brilliant here, resulting in an energetic sprint to the finish that paid off the story build exceptionally well. White gets the biggest win of his career while Okada is able to venture off in a new direction. Everyone wins. 8/10
