Time for Theory to try and beat Bobby Lashley for his US Title.

Great entrance for Bobby.

Theory attacked Lashley with the briefcase before the match.  A heel that attacks.  I LOVE it.  

Lashley got him in trouble and Theory tried to leave.  Uh, no.  Theory through the case at him but that didn't work.  Back in the ring they go.  The fans are chanting for Bobby, as they should.

Bobby went for the spear and Theory leap frogged him.  Bobby press slammed him and put him in the Hurt Lock.  Theory tapped immediately.  Unlike the old days, I can watch it thinking Theory did so to save himself for a potential cash in later on.  And Corey said the same thing.  I love when the booking makes sense.

Time for The Mysterios to take on Finn Balor and Damian Priest, with Rhea Ripley.  Mysterios in control early but it didn't last.

They went back and forth and Rey took out Balor with a cool sliding chair splash to the floor. Rey is working like young Rey.  Dude is 47.  Amazing.

The Mysterios set up Judgment Day for double 619 but Rhea stopped them.  Balor asked for the chair when the Brood music hit and it has a new leader, Edge!  He went to the ring.  Priest met him.  Spear.  In the ring, Balor Spear.  Priest another spear.  No DQ.  The Mysterios hit 619s and got the pin.  

If the Mysterios were going to win, this is the way to do it.

Happy Corbin vs. Pat McAfee is up next.  Michael Cole has Corey Graves with him to call it.

Corbin was out first.  As he got to the ring we saw a chorus singing Dumbass Corbin.  They sang for Pat too.  Big pop.

As an aside, I heard from a lot of people at the show that have told me backstage is so different tonight.  The mood is super happy.  It is coming across.

Corbin ran his mouth and Pat showed his athleticism in a big way.  Whether you like him or not, Pat is an athlete.

Corbin was in control.  He got a two off of Deep Six.  Pay hit a pescado.  They are on the floor.  Corbin laid him out on the announce table.  Corbin took announce headphones and ran down Pat's parents.  Then he hit Cole and the fans chanted Michael Cole.  They got back in the ring and Pat Mc hit a Superplex.

They got up and they are throwing hands until Corbin ran into the post.  McAfee is selling his beating.  Until he went to the top and hit a swanton to the floor.  Pat brought Corbin into the ring and went up top but Corbin moved.  The ref got bumped so Pat kicked Corbin in the balls and came off the top and beat him in a bowling shoe ugly match.  And not in a bad way, it was kind of good ugly.

After showing footage from the excellent match from Smackdown last night night, Drew McIntyre came out to address the crowd.  He is ready o face the winner of tonight's match in the UK.  He is doing a great, Vince would never book this promo.  You really need to watch it.  It's great stuff.  And it's not Vince pap, which is why it's great stuff.
