– Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Dolph Ziggler
Some of the fans were very excited for Nakamura, but some didn’t know him as much and the atmosphere was kind of weird at the start. Ziggler taunted the audience and Nakamura showed off his gigantic charisma before hitting the Kinshasa to get the win.

This went less than a minute. Rawley won with his finisher.
