This will be the pair\u2019s ninth match against each other. With Allin being a glutton for punishment, and King\u2019s desire to prove without the cask that he\u2019s unstoppable, could there be an upset?<\/p>\n<p>Claudio Castagnoli taking on Ricochet, two former indy darlings one-on-one.

Both men have something to prove to themselves and the world.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Mark Briscoe faces Shelton Benjamin in a match that could go either way. Benjamin feels revitalized.
