Result: With some help from Sami Zayn, Owens pins McMahon for the win (39:00).

Rating: Things got off to a rough start with Shane's punches looking laughably bad as usual, before it settled into being a conventional but entertaining HIAC match for the most part.

The action on top of the cell was fun as it doesn't happen so much anymore, proving genuinely suspenseful and exciting even if it took far too long to get to the payoff.

The first table spot with Owens was pretty weak and telegraphed too far in advance, but Shane's follow-up dive was a typically stunning display, complete with the surprise maybe-heel turn by Sami Zayn.

Overall the match went on far too long and Shane triumphantly raising his thumb up at the end kinda undermined the brutality of what he just went through, but it was a totally solid main event, especially considering the hour of tripe fans had to sit through beforehand. 7/10
