Result: Riddle puts Ali away with a second-rope Bro Derek to retain the title (9:16).

Rating: This was surprisingly inspired for a blow-off match where one of the two men was widely known to be working with an injury.

It was probably the best of their three matches and absolutely merited inclusion on the main card, especially given that it resulted in the crowd-pleasing breakup of Retribution. Its placement on the card really says all you need to know about what WWE thought of the faction, though.

An Ali win would've been great here, and they definitely made us believe, but all things considered it probably makes sense to give the W to the guy not working injured.

We can only pray that Ali might get a more worthwhile program off the back of this. 6/10
