6. U.S. Title: Rusev (c) Vs. Roman Reigns

Result: Reigns drills Rusev with the Spear to win the title (17:07).

Rating: Nothing was more interesting in this match than the crowd reactions, because it was fascinating to hear Rusev getting so many cheers while Roman received those fully-fledged John Cena-style dueling chants he's been chasing for a while.

Absolutely solid in-ring work from both men here, moving away from the rather goofy nature of this feud and instead playing-up the physicality, but the match went far, far too long for what it was. On one hand, it keeps Reigns out of the Universal Title picture for at least a few moths, but on the other, Rusev just got totally buried here once again. Decent on the whole, though.

6/10
