Result: Kalisto nails the Salida del Sol on TJP for the win (13:20).

Rating: Though it never felt anything more than totally inconsequential, this was still a respectably above-average pre-show match, with everyone crucially getting a little time to shine.

The only truly memorable spots were the triple moonsault and the Gallagher/Gulak shenanigans, but it kept up a solid pace and knew when to change things up. TJP eating the pin was a bit of a shame, but overall it delivered what you'd hope for with this layout and the restrictions of a curtain jerker match. 6/10
