#3 Finn Balor vs. Jordan Devlin

Surprise!
Surprise!

Well, wasn't this a surprise! Originally scheduled to take on the "Kiwi Buzzsaw," Travis Banks, Jordan Devlin took him out before the match started. This left him without an opponent, so one of the big guns came in. To help put this show over the top, Finn Balor made a surprise appearance.

It was a contest of the student vs. the mentor, and the mentor prevailed, showing that he was still the best to come out of Ireland. Devlin's arrogance wasn't going to be able to be enough to get one over on a real major league player.

The match itself was a good, solid wrestling match between two talented opponents. There was nothing classic about it, but it was a fast-paced, fun way to keep the show coming after a big, crowd-pleasing surprise.

More interbrand competition, please! Anyone else looking forward to the Worlds Collide tournament?
