Tozawa reversed into his own headlock, but Ciampa backed him into a corner and was granted freedom by the ref. Ciampa fired Tozawa into the opposite corner, but when Ciampa ran in, Tozawa lifted both boots into Ciampa&#8217;s chest. Tozawa hopped onto the middle rope and jumped at Ciampa, taking him down with a hurricanrana then following up with a quick drop kick. Tozawa ducked a clothesline, then missed a running high cross body when Ciampa dropped to the mat to dodge. Ciampa fired Tozawa off the ropes and blasted him in the ribs with a knee.<\/p>\n<p>This slowed the match momentum as Ciampa landed a series of kicks in the corner. Ciampa backed off, then came back with a running kick to Tozawa&#8217;s face. Ciampa leaned against the top rope and pantomimed going to sleep. He yanked Tozawa to mid-ring by his ankle, then covered for a two-count.<\/p>\n<p>Tozawa landed a couple feeble shots, but Ciampa maintained control. He smashed Tozawa with a backbreaker, then slowly got to his feet . He lifted Tozawa to his feet and fired him off the ropes \u2013 this time, Tozawa came back with two surprise roll-ups. Ciampa kicked out of both and dialed up the anger by grounding and pounding Tozawa on the mat. He chopped Tozawa&#8217;s chest, then the two exchanged blows in the middle of the ring. Tozawa eventually dropped from a front kick to the midsection, and Ciampa covered for two. Ciampa dropped to the mat and applied a chin lock.<\/p>\n<p>Tozawa fought out and tossed Ciampa to the mat, then hit a running knee strike. Tozawa shouted and climbed to the top rope and hit a flying elbow strike, knocking Ciampa back to the mat. He got behind Ciampa with a waist lock, but Ciampa escaped and hit a spinning right cross. Tozawa dodged a running kick, then twisted Ciampa into an octopus hold. Ciampa soon broke free and hit Tozawa in the chin with a bicycle kick, then covered for two. Ciampa, moving quickly, planted Tozawa with the Fairytale Ending, good for the three-count.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Tommaso Ciampa by pinfall in 5:30.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1622772105\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><em>(Meyers\u2019s Analysis: Decent back-and-forth action, but nothing extraordinary.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>-Main Event recap session:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Replay of Rollins \/ Reigns in-ring segment from Smackdown<\/li>\n<li>Replay of Doudrop &amp; Lynch vs. Belair &amp; Morgan from Raw<\/li>\n<li>Replay of Lesnar \/ Lashley video package from Raw<\/li>\n<li>Match rundown for upcoming PPV Royal Rumble<\/li>\n<li>Replay of Lashley vs. Rollins from Raw<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>(2) PETE DUNNE vs. T-BAR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>T-Bar worked Dunne into a corner right away, then tossed him to the mat. Dunne was irritated, but went on the attack with a wrist lock. T-Bar struggled briefly, but then scoop slammed Dunne to the mat. Dunne escaped another slam and hit T-Bar with a big clothesline, but T-Bar remained upright. Dunne followed up with a big forearm strike in the corner, then a missile drop kick to T-Bar&#8217;s knee, bringing him to the mat. Dunne went to work on T-Bar&#8217;s left arm, twisting his fingers before stomping his elbow.<\/p>\n<p>T-Bar got up, holding his arm, and got hung up on the top rope when Dunne dodged a running kick. With T-Bar stuck, Dunne attacked the fingers again. T-Bar fired Dunne off the ropes, missed a clothesline, but hit a big boot to Dunne&#8217;s face. Dunne rolled spectacularly to the ring apron where the ref checked on him. We cut to break.<\/p>\n<p>T-Bar was in control with a chin lock after the break. Dunne reversed out and applied an upright arm bar, but T-Bar reversed this into a release suplex. He rolled Dunne over and covered for two. T-Bar mounted Dunne and landed several overhead blows before covering for another two-count. T-Bar hit a backbreaker and covered for two. T-Bar appeared frustrated, then applied another chin lock. Dunne battled out with elbow strikes, leading T-Bar to set up for a choke slam. On the lift-up, Dunne fired his boot into T-Bar&#8217;s face. Dunne went on the attack, blasting T-Bar&#8217;s left arm and kicking him in the face. Dunne jumped from the middle rope but T-Bar intercepted him by his throat, then hit the sit out choke slam he wanted earlier. Dunne kicked out at two, and T-Bar looked amused.<\/p>\n<p>With a handful of Dunne&#8217;s hair, T-Bar screamed, \u201cA lotta guts, Dunne! But you&#8217;re just too small,\u201d channeling Vince McMahon&#8217;s thought patterns. Dunne punctuated T-Bar&#8217;s statement with a big chop to his chest, but T-Bar maintained control. He set up for a powerbomb, but Dunne clung to him and applied an arm bar. T-Bar went for another release suplex, but Dunne was too persistent \u2013 he hung on and rolled up T-Bar in a surprise cradle that was good for the three-count.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Pete Dunne by pinfall in 6:40.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3569353477\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><em>(Meyers\u2019s Analysis: Cool match.
