Any match that ends without a clear winner will always its detractors, but there may not be a WWE fan alive who thinks the double count-out to end this match was a satisfying way for things to wrap up. In a match that reportedly saw Randy Orton dislocating his shoulder right before the scripted finish, fans in attendance and at home were left confused at the way the latter half of this one played out.

Orton, who is no stranger to shoulder injuries, appeared to injure it when he got dropped onto the barricade. But that was likely worked, using the disadvantage to position Orton as the underdog. And holy hell was the crowd into that. They'd had some great matches before Over the Limit, but this one was a nearly flawless example of playing the crowd like a fiddle. But while pounding the mat in preparation for an RKO, Orton apparently put a little too much oomph it, popping his shoulder out, resulting in an awkward exchange that featured Orton walking around like a gorilla and Edge pretending that getting lightly tapped with a boot is the same thing as getting punted.

Since Orton couldn't hit the RKO with his dangly arm, they adjusted the finish to Edge missing a Spear and nailing his head on the barricade, leading to a double count-out. It was a disappointing finish that, unfortunately, pretty much killed the momentum of what promised to be an excellent feud between Edge and Orton.
