Result: Mahal nails Nakamura with the Khallas to retain the title (12:10).

Rating: This was lame and boring, but at least it didn't drag on too long, right? Silver linings. Though Charles Robinson ejecting the Singh Brothers from ringside was an encouraging sign that Nak might score the win, it was ultimately a misdirect.

This was a golden opportunity for Mahal to show that he can hang with world-class talent like Nakamura and score a convincing, clean win, but instead WWE opted for an absurd, out-of-nowhere finish that made Nak look like a chump while failing to put Mahal over as a palpable powerhouse.

It was clean-ish (for Mahal's standards), sure, but still another terrible Mahal title finish. What an absolute disaster Nak's WWE run has been so far. 4/10
