Result: Bálor kills Wyatt with the Coup de Grace for the win (11:35).

Rating: This was an enjoyable match that was hurt by some questionable booking right out of the gate. Having Wyatt attack Bálor pre-match only to still decisively lose to him doesn't make much sense, especially considering that Wyatt was the WWE Champion a mere six months ago.

The rest of the match was actually pretty good, though: Bálor did well to sell the rib damage, there was fun use of the ring apron, and it had the scrappy physicality throughout you'd hope for in a match like this.

It would've been fun to see Wyatt steal a surprise win, but as WWE seems content to just job him out, building Bálor up was probably the smart business call here. It's just a shame Wyatt had to get buried in such embarrassing fashion. 6/10
