Result: Sheamus puts Ricochet away with an hellacious Running Knee to the face (7:10).

Rating: This was a rock solid kickoff match even if it didn't quite hit that higher gear it may have were it on the main card.

Unsurprisingly the two shared strong in-ring chemistry and crammed a lot into their mere seven minutes of time allotted.

Some might sneer at the abrupt ending, but it's always refreshing to see a match skirt predictability, and the finishing sequence leading up to Sheamus' knee was strong.

Neither of these guys should be on the kickoff show - what the hell have they been doing with Ricochet lately? - but they at least didn't let their slot go to waste. 6/10
