The main event Triple Threat match for the WWE Title was solid if largely uneventful. Most knew that Kofi Kingston would retain (he has a date with Kevin Owens at MITB), and most probably also guessed that KO would show up to interfere at some stage.

Both of those things happened, but so did something else: one of the most crisp Superplexes we've ever seen on WWE television. It was so good in fact that Randy Orton might need to find a new top rope spot to work into his matches. Sami Zayn and Kingston performed the bump so well that it gave the headliner a believable near fall.

Tiiiiiiiiiimbeeeeeeeerrrrr.
