Result: Cody rolls Aldis into a sit-down pin to win the title (22:01).

Rating: This was classic babyface vs. cartoon heel fare and it was highly entertaining to that effect.

It definitely could've done with some trimming in the middle and the shenanigans came close to reeking of over-booking, but it was hard not to smile at DDP giving Daivari a Diamond Cutter in 2018.

Ultimately the match had a great slobberknocker appeal and, despite a few sluggish moments, it had high-drama that the crowd lapped up. The Crossroads near-fall was brilliant, and Rhodes' win felt well-earned rather than a feat of ego massage on his part. 8/10
