Result: Murphy nails the Murphy's Law to retain the title (10:35).

Rating: A title match on the Kickoff show never invites many expectations for a title switch, but accepting its predictability this was a solid, fast-paced showcase for 205.

It was over too quickly for sure, especially with the rushed final moments and it didn't reach that higher gear you'd hope for, but things also picked up significantly in the more frantic second half.

Clearly this deserved to be on the main show and run a few minutes longer, but accepting the limitations this was a very good match. 7/10
