United States Champion Apollo Crews def. Andrade (Kickoff Match)
With a little help from Kevin Owens, Apollo Crews thwarted both Andrade and Angel Garza to remain United States Champion.
Owens took a ringside seat for the seesaw battle, joining the commentary team before the bout. Crews fought out of Andrade’s hammerlock DDT attempt to hit a powerslam, standing moonsault and standing shooting star press all in succession, but Garza distracted the referee from counting the champion’s pinfall attempt.
That’s when Owens took matters into his own hands, spiking the “Lethal Lothario” with a massive stunner on the outside.
Meanwhile, Crews slipped out of another DDT attempt and planted Andrade with a spin-out powerbomb, pinning him and spoiling his chance to become a two-time United States Champion.
