Samoa Joe vs Kurt Angle
Joe kicks Angle in the legs before shoving him in the corner and repeatedly punching him, then Kurt rolls outside and comes back in and takes Joe down. Joe makes it to the ropes then he gets up and hits some shoulder blocks, then he kicks Kurt in the chest and hits a running knee drop for two. Kurt comes back with a belly-to-belly suplex, then he kicks Joe in the head and watches as Bobby Roode comes out and sits at commentary. We get back from a break and Kurt hits a suplex for a two count, then he puts Joe in a rear choke but he gets up and elbows his way out of the hold.
Kurt drops him with a back elbow and puts him back in the choke hold, but Joe gets out again and whips Kurt across the ring and hits an atomic drop. Joe hits a diving senton for a two count, then he catches Kurt with a spinning powerslam before going for a powerbomb. Kurt floats over and hits three German suplexes, then he calls for an Angle Slam but Joe counters and goes for a rear naked choke. Kurt slides down and puts him in an Ankle Lock, but Joe rolls through and kicks him in the head, then he runs the ropes but Kurt hits an Angle Slam.
Joe kicks out at two, then they slowly get up and trade punches but Kurt dodges a kick and puts Joe back in the Ankle Lock. Joe tries to roll through several times before slingshotting Kurt into the turnbuckles, then he counters a running attack by Kurt with an Uranage slam. Joe sets up for a Muscle Buster but Kurt blocks it then headbutts Joe, and Joe runs at him but Kurt rolls him up and gets the pin. Bobby Roode comes down and yells at him after the bell, but Kurt tells him to come down because he is ready right now. Jeff Hardy comes out through the crowd and says he will fight now, then Bully Ray and AJ come out to the ramp and surround Roode as the show comes to a close.
