Result: Gulak rolls up Dorado with a back-bridge pinfall to retain the title (10:05).

Rating: It's being a broken record to complain about WWE's transparent triple threat formula at this point - two men in, one man out - but can these matches really not be laid out in a more imaginative way?

On paper this had the potential to be great, but it just felt a little lacking in the energy department.

Gulak played the ground game too eagerly and sucked a lot of the joy out of the early phases, as did the excess focus on submissions, especially in a match playing to the kickoff crowd.

The finish with Dorado kindly putting his shoulder down for Gulak was pretty awkward, too. Hardly bad, but pretty underwhelming given the talent involved. 5/10
