Bo Dallas vs. Ryback
Result: Ryback def. Dallas via pinfall (Shellshock).
Rating: 2.0 out of 5 stars
Bo Dallas says he is going to accept the U.S. Open Challenge on Sunday on behalf of all the Bo-mericans. He starts singing the American national anthem, and is mercifully interrupted by Ryback.
Bo Dallas gets in some offense but Ryback quickly overpowers the “Inspirational One.” A Meathook Clothesline, a Shellshock, a pinfall, and the match is voer quickly.
Evan’s Note: The definition of a good squash match. Dallas gets some heat. Ryback, clad in his Susan G. Komen singlet, puts an end to his annoyance quickly with his signature moves. Crowd loves it and Ryback can be talked up by the announcers. However, in good conscience I can’t give a squash match higher than two stars. That’d be just wrong.
Kevin Owens Interview
Renee Young interviews the Intercontinental champ, and Owens calls Ryback a monster, intense, and a physical freak of nature. However, Owens is the champion and he asks Renee Young what she thinks. Young calls him arrogant, and Owens says it actually makes him better than Ryback. He says that to him, before he was IC champ, the belt didn’t even exist.
