Both Kushida and Danny Burch have been in the midst of winning streaks in recent weeks between WWE 205 Live and WWE NXT; thus, their paths were destined to cross. Having never competed against one another, both Superstars tested the waters early in the contest as Kushida tried to use his speed to counter Burch’s technical prowess.

Burch gained the upper hand with a leg pick, dropping Kushida to the canvas. However, the Japanese Superstar quickly regained control by turning up the speed and forcing Burch to the outside. As Kushida went for a high-risk move, Burch clobbered him with a perfectly timed punch.

Kushida again changed the pace of the contest, taking down The Governor on the outside before delivering a kick to the face. A desperate Burch landed two headbutts that allowed him to execute the crossface. Kushida maneuvered out of the hold before trading strikes with Burch and hitting a crushing basement dropkick. Seizing the opportunity to strike, Kushida applied a Kimura lock for the submission win.
