Result: Big E takes Drew out with the Big Ending to retain the title (13:25).

Rating: There wasn't much in the way of suspense to be found here given the obviousness of Big E retaining - whether through actual victory or a non-finish - but in terms of cementing his worthy place as champ, it absolutely delivered.

These two know how to put on a thrilling match, and though it was surprisingly, perhaps disappointingly short, Big E and Drew packed a hell of a lot into the brief length.

Big E came out of it looking like the powerhouse champ that he is, and Drew was a gutsy contender in defeat, which is exactly what both men needed.

It falls a hair short of greatness because it was absolutely too brief, but still, very respectable work overall. 7/10
