Result: Roman kills Braun with a Spear for the win (17:20).

Rating: Forget about Roman Reigns' distracting choice of footwear (which seemed to take up most of the match's social media chatter), and this wasn't bad.

The Running Powerslam through the table was great (and the crowd loved it), but like so many matches on this show the pacing was off for the most part. That this ended up being the longest match on the card is, well, hilarious.

Braun's greeness continues to show but he's clearly improving and put up a solid effort. Roman winning was boring at best and nonsensical at worst, and surprisingly dull considering it was Strowman's first pinfall loss.

Some Undertaker-led shenanigans and a Braun victory would've been much more interesting. Roman losing would've done him no harm, and Strowman really needed this. 6/10
