BATTLEGROUND KICK-OFF
King Barrett vs R-Truth
This match will decide who holds the Crown will Barrett retain or will he be usurped by R-Truth?
Truth takes an early lead and the first pin fall attempt with a snap mare take down but only manages a two count. The action spills to the outside of the ring. Barrett tries for a pin fall but only manages a two count as we head to a commercial break.
Back from the commercial break we pick up the action with Barrett in control but Truth soon takes the advantage. Barrett locks Truth up in the ropes and sends him spilling to the floor. Barrett then tries for a pin fall but manages a 2 count only.
Truth picks up the momentum with a spinning heel kick to Barrett, with a follow up of a scissors kick which is countered by Barrett. However Truth counters to land a Scissors kick for a pin attempt but manages only a 2 count.
Barrett manages to regain the momentum and lands a Bull hammer to take the Pin fall victory and retain his crown.
Going forward this may harm Barrett more the longer this king gimmick continues. If R-Truth had taken victory it would have elevated both Barrett and Truth in that Barrett would have dropped a rather limiting gimmick allowing him to move forward while elevating Truth to better prominence.
