Jey Uso vs. Shelton Benjamin
The Gold Standard wrestled his first singles match in over 7 years as he took on Jey Uso. Jey looked focussed on the task at hand as he starred Benjamin down before their match and bounced around with Jimmy to their theme song.
The two kicked off the match with Benjamin getting the better of the power struggle. Jey took control of the match with a back elbow but got sent to the corner. He smacked Benjamin in the face, went up to the top rope but couldn't be sent crashing to the outside with an insane flying knee to the face as a commercial break followed. Great impact!
The commentators highlighted the history between the two teams that dates back 11 years when Benjamin and Charlie Hass took the twins under their wing and imparted training.
Back to the match, Jey dominated the offence as he executed a perfect running hip attack in the corner. Benjamin nearly caught Jey off guard with a roll-up for a 2-count. Jey didn't let Shelton rally as he stunned him with a superkick. 1...2...KICKOUT! Benjamin got his shoulder up in the nick of time. He got up, foiled Jey's plan of finishing the match with the Frog Splash, and took him out with the Playdirt.
Result: Shelton Benjamin def. Jey Uso
KO and Zayn were shown frantically searching for stars who they could convince into helping them in the Lumberjack match for the night. Both Baron Corbin and Bobby Roode shot down their requests and they weren't polite, to say the least.
So did the duo get anyone on their side?
