The match delivered just as expected. It was a solid bout that included several pinfalls and a story as well. Allin outwrestled the Champion early on and frustrated him. Cody, then showed Allin why he was the champion in the first place by fighting back.
He delivered a Cross Rhodes from the top rope and could have easily won the match from there. However, his arrogance forced him to delay the pin allowing Allin the chance to mount a comeback. A Coffin Drop and a three count later, Allin was the new TNT Champion.
