Result: Young drills Dillinger with the Youngblood Neckbreaker (10:55).

Rating: This was a solidly enjoyable opener, making good use of outside interference from Young's camp, and while not massively memorable overall, it didn't really need to be.

Dillinger's Skinning the Cat into Young's finish made for a brutal end that put over Young something huge, while Dillinger got his due and very nearly came away the winner.

Hopefully Dillinger's loss might mean he's going to show up at the Rumble (to an inevitably rapturous response), otherwise his loss here is a bit of a shame.

A little too much downtime overall pacing-wise, but largely an entertaining way to kick off the show. 6/10
