Baron Corbin vs Jack Swagger:
Trending
Grade: 7/10
Some fans may have found this match a little boring due to the lacklustre build and lack of credibility from Swagger after tonnes of losses, but this was a hard-hitting brawl that allowed Corbin especially to shine.
The viciousness of the Lone Wolf was on full display here, with Corbin targeting Swagger’s left hand so he was unable to commence the Patriot Lock. Brutalising the Real American, Corbin looked dominant despite Swagger gaining the upper hand a few times.
Swagger was also protected in loss after Corbin raked his eyes behind the referee's back, which played into the story well. Overall, a better match than was expected between these two, as the high-octane, hard-hitting nature of the bout helped it fit in on the PPV.
A street fight/No DQ match for these two could be a great bout for future encounters.
