Rich Swann def. Ariya Daivari

Rich Swann def. Ariya Daivari

Originally slated to battle Noam Dar, Rich Swann instead faced Ariya Daivari due to an injury The Scottish Supernova sustained on Raw. However, Daivari was ready to take the fight right to the former Cruiserweight Champion.

Early in the contest, Daivari used his natural aggression to his advantage, but the fast-paced style of Swann took over, giving the former Crusierweight Champion an advantage. Daivari then regained control by slamming his opponent into the announce table before unleashing his rage at Swann’s expense.

The Persian Lion maintained momentum, dismantling Swann while growing frustrated that he was unable to secure the victory. Swann turned the tables by rolling away from a frog splash, and the two competitors battled back and forth with Daivari nearly scoring a pinfall after successfully executing a frog splash. Unfortunately for Daivari, Swann regained his composure, knocking his opponent off the top rope before executing a perfect Phoenix Splash for the win.

Following his victory, Swann approached Alicia Fox backstage and asked her to deliver well wishes to the injured Noam Dar. A courier then approached Fox with another package containing perfume. Swann walked away from the delighted former Divas Champion, acknowledging that someone must really care for her.
