Result: Ricochet puts Joe away with the 630 to win the title (12:25).

Rating: Expectations were high for this and it absolutely delivered.

Pitting one of the greatest high-flyers of all time against one of the greatest big men of all time was always going to produce gold, and predictably, their skills proved incredibly well-matched.

They knew when to slow things down and when to ramp them back up: the result was the most intense match of the night. Ricochet's selling was unbelievable, especially in the final stretch, and even in defeat, Joe looked like an absolute monster.

It was great to see Ricochet pick up the strap - especially with such an excellent finish - though it's tough not to feel bad for Joe, given that it's unlikely this will actually mean better things for him anytime soon. 8/10
