He brought Kushida back to his feet, turning him over for a slap that saw Kushida crashing to the mat.
However, Kushida countered a powerbomb attempt, spiking the UK Champion with a DDT.

The big man was battered by more knife edge chops and kicks, but he escaped a third Hoverboard Lock, launching Kushida into the corner with a shotgun dropkick. The powerbomb wasn't enough, as Kushida kicked out just in the nick of time.
