The kneebar doesn’t work just yet but Joe does get in an enziguri in the corner to really knock Sami silly. Feeling out process to start with Sami avoiding for a few moments until a big kick to the chest puts him down. Joe debuted a few weeks back and talked about earning his spot here instead of being all happy to be here like Zayn. Reigns doesn’t warrant a major mention though. The opening video talks about how important it is to have momentum on the way to Wrestlemania while looking at the major matches. Dar taking the pin makes sense as he can just do one of his annoying promos to get back on the annoying side where he belongs. This was exactly what this pre-show match is supposed to be as the cruiserweights did their usual high spots and fast paced offense to wake the fans up. Swann kicks Dar down and it’s a snap German suplex into the Phoenix splash to put Noam away at 9:21. Now the double dives work just fine and Kendrick eats a Shining Wizard. Swann finally sends Noam into the corner and it’s time for the hot tag to Tozawa. Kendrick chokes in the corner with his boot before it’s back to Dar for a more standard armbar. It’s off to Swann for the stereo dives but Kendrick and Dar hide behind Alicia Fox before anything can happen to them.īack from a break with Swann in trouble as Dar and Kendrick take turns working on the arm. Tozawa starts firing off the kicks early on with Dar barely able to keep up. Of course it also has the chance of Chris Jericho interfering and costing his former friend the title.

The main event is Kevin Owens defending the Universal Title against Goldberg, which has a serious chance of being a squash.

It’s the final show before Wrestlemania XXXIII and it’s fairly clear that this is just a way to fill in time before Orlando. Location: Bradley Center, Milwaukee, WisconsinĬommentators: Michael Cole, Byron Saxton, Corey Graves
