3. Cruiserweight Title: Rich Swann (c) Vs. Neville

Kevin Owens Roman Reigns

Result: Neville makes Swann tap with a Butterfly Armbar to win the title (14:00).

Rating: The crowd were totally gassed after the Owens-Reigns match, but that can't totally excuse them treating this thrilling contest like a toilet break.

It probably didn't help that the match spent too long dealing in headlocks, but it picked up quickly and made good use of the surprisingly plentiful time allotted to it.

These two have great chemistry and got in some wincingly stiff moves. Both deserved a much better response from the crowd, but the right man won, even if it was laughably predictable.

It's a shame Neville can't use the Red Arrow anymore, because how dare heels possess amazing athleticism, right? 7/10
