WrestleMania 36 continues as we move on to our second match of the night. King Corbin says the King has arrived at WrestleMania but Elias is nowhere to be found. Shows us why, and they replay the segment where Corbin sent Elias off the balcony. Corbin says that felt good and what feels better is getting his second Mania win in a row. Says Elias can’t be here so they should raise his hand in victory, as he wins by forfeit. But a guitar strum beckons Elias out to the stage. He has such tiny bandaging that I’m not sure if it’s not just a bandana. Corbin leaves the ring and charges up the ramp but Elias avoids him, nails him with the guitar! Sends Corbin back into the ring and now the match starts!
Elias vs. King Corbin
Elias with a charging forearm in the corner! Clothesline for a 2 count! Corbin struggles to his feet, Elias gets him with a loud knife edge chop. Takes him down, rope-assisted knee drop, grinds the boot into his throat. Short-Arm Neckbreaker of sorts for a nearfall. As Elias approaches, Corbin flapjacks Elias hard onto the top rope and he’s sent barreling to the floor! Corbin pulls Elias up, slams him into the ringpost! It is just a bandana around his forearm by the way but he does have some kinesio tape on his shoulder. Corbin with a stomp, takes Elias into the corner and pounds him with uppercuts. Power whip to the opposite corner, charges, Elias sends him outside, Ring Around The Ringpost for a big right hand, nearfall!
Corbin pulls Elias up, driving elbows to the injured shoulder. Corbin loudly hollers at the commentary team demanding that they tell the world how good he is. Pulls Elias up to his feet, tosses him shoulder first into the post, a loud impact. Smiles villainously. Pulls him to the center of the ring and covers for a nearfall. Corbin gets in the official’s face and demands she count better. More driving elbows to the shoulder. Pulls him up, wants another posting but Elias reverses and sends him shoulder-first into the post this time! Elias charges, Corbin blocks him, but Elias with a rope-assisted mule kick sends him barreling across the ring! Kicks him into the corner, clubbering right hands. Rips his shirt off, yet more kicks, grinds a knee into his face! Kick to the face, pulls him up, Inverted Neckbreaker for a nearfall!
Elias up top, wants a Frog Splash but Corbin rolls out of the way, Elias rolls through, Corbin with a Deep Six for a nearfall! Elias sidesteps a charge, Corbin with the Ring Around the Ringpost, Elias ducks the clothesline, jumping high knee for a nearfall! Goes up top as Corbin rolls across the ring, he gives himself enough space to avoid the splash. Corbin holds onto the ropes to avoid getting pulled away, big right hand to the face, covers with his feet on the ropes but the ref catches him and forces him to break. Corbin yells at the referee, Elias rolls him up with a handful of tights and gets the win!
Winner: Elias
Gotta say, didn’t expect much of anything from this match but even these guys are going their hardest tonight and it showed. Pretty good fight there.
