Result: Ziggler kills Rollins with the Zig Zag to win 5-4 in overtime (30:10).

Rating: This was an interesting choice for a main event, even if there's not much particularly extreme about a half-hour Iron Man match. It was a unique approach giving Seth the 3-0 lead after 10 minutes - though McIntyre's prolonged attack clearly should've made it 4-0 - and let's face it, high-scoring Iron Man matches are always more fun.

This never really felt like a main event-worthy match, but was entertaining enough and a decent reminder that Ziggler can be fun when he actually puts a little effort in. It was mostly the Rollins show, though, and he certainly delivered, even if his lack of clock awareness at the end made him look like a bit of a goon.

The overtime finish was pretty rough, because why wouldn't Kurt Angle just walk back from the Gorilla Position, send McIntyre to the back and restart it? This wasn't a standout match of its type, but fun in spite of the irritating crowd, and it was neat to see Ziggler retain. 6/10
