Result: Orton nails an RKO outta nowhere to win the title (19:15).

Rating: Though this was never less than decent, it simply ran way too long considering that it never ratcheted up to that next level you'd hope for. Investment was tough from the outset because Roode desperately needs to turn heel and it's hard to care much about the prospect of Orton winning a title these days.

For the most part it was... fine, and it certainly picked up at the end, but again, the Orton victory isn't as compelling as you'd want it to be. At least the post-match shenanigans with Jinder were fun and smartly weren't shoved into the actual match itself. 6/10
