Result: With the help of a fast count from Daniel Bryan, Zayn defeats Orton with a roll-up (21:40).

Rating: With two refs in play, this was always going to be goofy, but what's most surprising is how dead the crowd was for long stretches of the match.

In their defense, the bout was fairly workmanlike for the most part, running at least five minutes too long, while most of the squabbling between Shane and Bryan fell pretty flat.

The only part of the match that was at all memorable was Bryan's final fast count: character and story-wise it made sense, and we even got a slight Bryan bump out of it. Needless to say, this needs to be heading towards an in-ring return for Bryan or it's going to feel mightily unsatisfying. 5/10
