Rated-RKO implodes! This fatal four-way for the WWE Championship came hot off the heels of a couple of fantastic Cena/Michaels matches, one of which was the main event of WrestleMania 22. The second was the 50-minute classic in London, which saw Michaels finally get the duke over Cena. Edge and Orton? Well, they were there to act as the heels.

Despite being as '2007' as it gets, a match featuring such a high quality of WWE main event performers was always going to deliver. It involves all you'd expect from such a set up, with both the faces and the heels joining forces only to turn on each other in a desperate bid to claim the richest prize in the game. Edge and Orton weren't exactly known for their loyalty anyway.

Predictability isn't always a negative thing however, and the four men involved work hard enough to make sure that isn't the case here. Cena walked in as champion and that is how we would walk out, pinning Orton after Michaels hit him with Sweet Chin Music but couldn't capitalise.
