Result: Corbin gets himself disqualified with a low blow (12:25).

Rating: Shinsuke Nakamura's talents were once again wasted in a horrendously tedious match, which left the crowd understandably verging on comatose for long stretches.

Apart from a few decent kickout spots, there was just nothing here. The pacing was totally lethargic, there was no sense of storytelling at all, and it was capped by a head-smackingly bad bulls*** judgement call ending that didn't really do anything for anyone.

WWE was too cowardly to have either man take the L so they went for the pointlessly non-committal finish instead, and there's a good chance they'll make fans suffer through it again at SummerSlam. 5/10
