Result: Cena nails Trips with the Attitude Adjustment for the win (15:45).

Rating: While on paper it made a lot of sense to kick the show off with a nostalgia-fest battle between two undisputed legends, this was a disappointingly sluggish, dull match that pretty much made it clear the roster would be phoning it in for the rest of the night.

There was an agreeably old-school feel to the match, but it ultimately didn't build or translate into anything truly interesting. There clearly wasn't much desire for this to be anything more than an ultra-broad signature-spam match to kick the show off with some marquee talents. 5/10
