Shinsuke Nakamura vs Shelton Benjamin

What a contest
What a contest

Nakamura went back and forth with the high flying Benjamin to kick off this main event. The Japanese star had control of the match, but after the break, the former Intercontinental Champion took the advantage, as they traded blows which weren't quite as stiff as some would like with a bout of this calibre.

Nakamura then breaks away from Shelton and nailed him with a kick to the head, meanwhile AJ Styles and Chad Gable battle outside of the ring.

A Northern Lights suplex gets him a quick two count as both men trade submission attempts, but in the end, there's no way for Shelton to avoid the Kinshasa as Shinsuke takes another step towards WrestleMania.

Once again Shinsuke Nakamura thanks AJ Styles for being in his corner but reaffirms that it wasn't necessary. Styles believes that his opponent is playing mind games and he knows they'll tear the house down at New Orleans, before Shinsuke claims that the WWE champion is too emotional.

Gable and Benjamin assault AJ only for Nakamura to make the save again, before attempting the Kinshasa - only to reveal it was a fake out. SD Live goes off the air with Styles once again looking bemused at the actions of Nakamura, less than two weeks out from Mania.
