During the match between the two enemies, Corbin looked primed to come away with a major win throughout the bout. He started things off by shaking off any and all distractions by Rick Boogs, and he hit Nakamura with some impactful suplexes. He also dropped Nakamura with a Brainbuster onto the broadcast table. After he got back into the ring, Corbin countered a splash attempt from Nakamura and hit a powerbomb. Still, the “King” was able to hold onto Corbin and lock in a submission attempt that nearly ended the contest.
After he fought off Nakamura’s submission attempt, Corbin laid out Nakamura with a huge lariat. With a victory on the tips of his fingers, Corbin failed to capitalize, and Nakamura turned the tides. He clinched the win with an emphatic Kinshasa that put Corbin down for the three count.
