Result: Swann kills Dar with the Phoenix Splash to score the win (9:25).

Rating: The crowd was surprisingly hot throughout (for the standards of the pre-show, anyway) which definitely helped. This wasn't a killer cruiser match by any stretch but it was definitely one of the better pre-show bouts in recent memory, with solid pacing and a decent length to boot.

The finish was terrific because the Phoenix Splash can't help but look awesome. It'd be great to see Swann and Tozawa teaming up regularly because they clearly have excellent chemistry. 6/10
