Result: The match ends in a double countout after both men kick each other in the balls (21:05).

Rating: Well, this was certainly the best of their three WWE matches, with solid use of the stipulation even if the pair absolutely could've taken it further.

The match was still nowhere near the standard these two should be battling at, capped by a totally insulting ending that head-scratchingly contradicts the whole "no DQ" stipulation.

The booking is beyond idiotic and just blows off a concrete result for the sake of a fourth match that'll probably fail to deliver on expectations once again. Christ.

And above all else, why the hell is AJ not wearing a cup by this point? It just makes him look like a moron. 6/10
