Match 1
Golden Truth & Apollo Crews vs Dudley Boyz & Baron Corbin
(referee: Dan Engler)
Result: Apollo Crews pins D-Von Dudley after an Angle Slam
Time: 6:16 (1 break)
Match Thoughts
An okay match. The story here was all about Baron Corbin not wanting to be a part of a team. He refused to help the Dudleyz and would tag himself in whenever he wanted to. Whenever he would pull his shenanigans it would bog the match down. Otherwise, it was fine.

Match 2
Kalisto vs Viktor w/ Konnor
(referee: Shawn Bennett)
Result: Kalisto wins via pinfall with a pinning hurricanrana
Time: 3:29
Match Thoughts
Pretty good match. Kalisto kept the energy and pace up, but Viktor also looked good here. He was a little bit of a prop for Kalisto, but he hung in there. This was fast and entertaining.
Match 3
Breezango vs Jack Swagger & Mark Henry
(referee: Charles Robinson)
Result: Mark Henry pins Fandango after a World’s Strongest Slam
Time: 4:19
Match Thoughts
Pretty good match. Breezango worked great as a team, as usual, and Swagger and Henry were fun to watch as a powerhouse team.
Match 4
The Usos & Dolph Ziggler & Titus O’Neil vs Alberto Del Rio & The Shining Stars & Sheamus
(referee: Ryan Tran)
Result: Sheamus pins Jimmy Uso after a Brogue Kick
Time: 7:11 (1 break)
Match Thoughts
Good match. Kind of a typical eight-man with a typical breakdown at the end, but it was fun.
Show Impressions
This was an entertaining show. Four good matches and lots of people on it, which makes sense since this is the last Main Event before the draft takes effect. You can’t ask for much more from Main Event.
Match of the Night
The Usos & Dolph Ziggler & Titus O’Neil vs Alberto Del Rio & The Shining Stars & Sheamus
All the matches on this show were fun (if somewhat standard), but I liked the breakdown in this one the most.
