Randy Orton and Sheamus have had many underwhelming matches in the past so expectations weren't terribly high for this bout. Honestly, I groaned a little to see that this match was kicking off the main show. It didn't seem like a guaranteed crowd-popper to get the everyone going, but I'll admit that I was wrong. 

The St. Louis crowd was very eager to get behind Orton as well as jeering Sheamus. This 17 minute match didn't feel like a match of the year contender but they definitely got the crowd going really loud on more than a few occasions.

The finish was a very satisfying RKO...out of nowhere, of course. Orton is a big winner because he earned a clean pin on this card against a man that will probably be carrying the WWE World Heavyweight Championship sometime in the next year.
