Result: English nails Dillinger with a Flatliner for the win (9:45).

Rating: It's always pretty suspect when a kickoff show match lands this high up, and though English's horrendous pre-match singing didn't exactly put the audience in a good mood, both he and Dillinger put in solid work across the board.

People are understandably pretty sick of seeing these two wrestle, but they nevertheless turned in a totally agreeable kickoff match that probably went a few minutes longer than it needed to, but delivered the basic goods.

The highlight here was that English actually picked up the surprise win, even if it was at the expense of further underlining just how badly WWE has botched Dillinger's call-up so far. The crowd loves him, so why is he still on the kickoff show? 6/10
