This was a basic match but the added stipulation and commentary helped to enhance it. Piper specifically will be a matter of personal taste but these two worked well to their fairly low ceiling for the match. [** ¼] 4/10.

 

  After the match The Mountie is taken backstage and hauled into the van kicking and screaming. They would cut to him through the event showing him being processed and held in a cell.
