The entire match was just wall-to-wall action. Cesaro, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and The Miz appeared eager to make their mark on the pay-per-view, and they arguably produced the best match of the entire night. There were hardly any moments where anyone could catch their breath, it was quite stunning to see such a frenzied pace.

Several moments acted as believable false endings throughout, but the best of the bout has to go to Zayn and Cesaro. Coming off the ropes at speed, Zayn launched over his peer's back, hooked onto him with a deft swing, and pulled him over in a Sunset Flip style.

Such moves are rarely seen in WWE, it was the kind of spot that would have felt instantly at home during a Ring Of Honor main event. That only made it more enjoyable, because it came out of left field to thrill fans and produce an epic near fall.

Kicking out at the very last nanosecond, Cesaro survived by the skin of his teeth. What a spot.
