Result: Kofi retains the title after drilling Joe with the Trouble in Paradise (9:45).

Rating: On one hand, it's astounding that WWE has kept the title on Kofi this long, but on the other, if there's anyone for him to lose to that the crowd wouldn't be p*ssed about, it's Joe.

But of course, Joe loses yet another title match, again after dominating for most of it, making it tough to take him seriously as a viable threat anymore.

The abrupt ending really typifies how so many of Kofi's title defenses don't really feel like marquee matches, which is a damn shame. It was decent, but these two are capable of much more. 6/10
