Adrian Neville vs Baron Corbin

The semifinals of the number one contender’s tournament kicked off, as Baron Corbin faced-off against Adrian Neville. Neville tried to use his speed and take away the power of Corbin, but that didn't work for long. Corbin hit Neville with a wicked clothesline which slowed the pace and complexion of the match. Corbin would go on to dominate for most of the match until Neville got a small window of opportunity, and dropkicked Corbin outside the ring. While outside the ring Corbin would get assaulted from behind by Bull Dempsey. Dempsey pushed Corbin into the steel post completely taking him out of the match.

Corbin would make it back into the ring before the count of ten, but it wouldn't matter. The attack from behind proved to be too much for Corbin, as Neville was able to hit his finishing move the Red Arrow. Neville became the first man to beat Corbin, and in turn that has given him the right to move on to the finals of the tournament.
