1. Johnny Gargano Vs. Aleister Black

Result: Black kills Gargano with a second Black Mass for the win (18:10).

Rating: First things first, if you weren't sold on heel Johnny Gargano before the match, you surely were afterwards (though he desperately needs a new entrance theme).

This match started insanely strong and never once let up: the athleticism, the ring psychology and diversity of the spots throughout.

The crowd naturally lapped it up and rightly so, and while it certainly could've run longer, it wasn't a rushed sprint like the women's match.

Both men brought their A-game and delivered what'll probably be the best match of the entire weekend, while setting up some tantalising narrative threads for the future, with both men looking amazing on the other side. 9/10
