The Ford Center was 75 percent full for the event.

(1) A.J. Styles beat Tyler Breeze via submission with the Calf Crusher. The crowd was really into this match. Very good start to the show.

(2) Baron Corbin beat Zack Ryder with the end of days. The crowd was pretty silent. There were a couple of NXT chants.

(3) Sin Cara beat Stardust by pinfall. Stardust had a lot of heat with the crowd – there were “Cody” chants during the entire match.

(4) R-Truth beat Adam Rose via pinfall following interference by Goldust and Curtis Axel. R-truth was quite possibly the most over with the crowd of anyone all night.

(5) U.S. champion Kalisto beat Alberto Del Rio via pinfall with the Salida del Sol. There was very little reaction to both of these guys with the crowd getting into it late after a lot of hard work by Alberto Del Rio.
