Result: Roman spears Brock through the side of the cage, and because Brock's back hit the floor first...he retained? (9:15)

Rating: This was a dull title match made so much worse by its utterly atrocious ending. The bulk of the bout was nothing more than signature and finisher spam, and the finish was a total balls-up because Roman's feet so clearly hit the floor first.

Cue the commentators embarrassingly scrambling (in vain) to explain it away, all while the production kept replaying angles that only make it clearer that Roman was the real winner.

Whether you're a Roman fan or not, he clearly won the match. If WWE wanted to give Brock another win without making Roman look weak, they should've had him attempt to spear Roman, Roman dodge and Brock simply fly through the cage on his own. Simple. Instead we got this contrived crap that can't be easily explained away.

Honestly one of the worst finishes to a "major" world title match in years. 3/10
