Result: Perkins makes Gargano tap with the Knee Bar (12:19).

Rating: This was basically a dream match as far as the CWC was concerned, and it was a nice touch that Gargano's knee injury from NXT TakeOver was worked into the match despite it being filmed long beforehand. Gargano even had the consideration to smash his knee into the guardrail during a spot so his hobbling around made sense to the live crowd: what a guy.

This is yet another match where it really could've gone either way (though the smart money was probably on Gargano), but given that Gargano is already an NXT talent it probably made sense to give Perkins the spotlight moving forward. 8/10
