Sometimes lost in the midst of the controversial Rumble and the uninspiring undercard was the fact that WWE's best main roster match of 2015 probably happened on this show. Brock Lesnar retained the WWE Championship over John Cena and Seth Rollins in a wild and frenetic triple threat match that would've stolen most other shows.

It also marked the only pinfall win for Lesnar in his near eight-month reign with the gold. Of course, Lesnar only made three defenses of the belt (Night of Champions 2014, this show, and WrestleMania 31) due to his lighter schedule, but what can you do?

Lesnar pinned Rollins with an F5 after avoiding the now-banned Curb Stomp. With or without this match, the event would've still been mercilessly panned, but that's certainly no fault of the three men in the match.
