Result: Rush kills Kalisto with the Final Hour to retain the strap (8:20).

Rating: This was a fun cruiser sprint with all three men getting their solid licks in before Rush predictably retained.

It moved fast and the crowd were into it - as much as they could be with such an early slot, anyway - and all three men treated it like they actually cared.

Given that there was a very real future where Rush was buried after voicing his displeasure with how he was used last year, it's refreshing to see creative not go the vindictive route.

With more time to go this could've been really good, and hopefully we'll get to see them go at it again on a stage like this, but with a longer ring time. 7/10
