Samoa Joe vs. Bull Dempsey

Short and sweet. Bull rushes him but gets beaten down and promptly choked out.

Winner: Samoa Joe via submission (Kokina Clutch)

Joe won't let go of the hold. Refs and enhancement talent come out and the wrestlers get beaten up. Joe applies another Kokina Clutch to Bull. Finn Balor makes the save and lands several kicks until Joe tosses him over the announce table, taking out Graves. Balor jumps off the announce table and the two keep going at it.
