Result: Alexander rolls Gulak up to retain the title (10:15).

Rating: Kickoff cruiser matches have a habit of feeling a little rushed and neutered, so this was a pleasant surprise and certainly one of the better pre-show matches in recent memory.

After a slow start this built into a real cracker, with a terrific final sequence in particular, some sloppiness notwithstanding. There's a fair argument to be made that this was probably the right time to take the title off Alexander, but that did nothing to undermine a frenetic, hard-fought sea-saw match. 7/10
