Rating: Once again, WWE blew its load early with the single great match of the night opening the main show. Rollins was totally on fire throughout, while The Miz turned in one of his best singles performances ever - perhaps his best - and the crowd was red-hot for all the fantastic near-falls.

This match had everything an opener needed: excellent pacing, a high-impact back and forth - including one of the most disturbing DDTs you'll probably see all year - and the genuine belief that either man could've won. This was an absolute cracker of an opener and the rest of the PPV didn't deserve it. 8/10
