Main Event: Seth Rollins (C) versus Randy Orton What Happened: Babyfaces are supposed to come into matches as the underdogs, but in this steel cage bout, things were taken to the extreme - Orton was banned from using the RKO and Rollins' Authority running buddy, Kane, was guarding the cage door. When Rollins accidentally kicked Kane, the Director of Operations invaded the cage and chokeslammed both participants. Conflicted, he placed Rollins on top of Orton, but Orton kicked out, then hit Kane with an RKO. That gave Rollins the opportunity to hit Orton with an RKO of his own, then exit the cage to win the match. Why It Sucked: With the exception of Brock Lesnar and Triple H, WWE prefers to book heels as cheaters who win matches unfairly. Still, the sheer number of advantages Rollins had in this match (in addition to the aforementioned ones, J&J Security ran in on the bout to try and attack Orton) made his win seem completely meaningless. The only wrestler who came out of the match looking menacing was the 48-year-old Kane, further hurting Rollins as a champion.
