Result: Orton annihilates Ali with an RKO outta nowhere (12:10).

Rating: On paper this had a ton of potential, and it just came down to which version of Randy Orton we were going to get.

Thankfully Orton wasn't just mailing it in, amping his sadism up and getting the crowd firmly behind Ali, who got the hell beaten out of him here and sold it all like a champ.

The pacing was great - especially given Orton's tendency towards lethargic matches these days - and the men's styles meshed exceptionally well.

It would've been fantastic to see Ali pick up the win, especially after that amazing RKO escape, but Orton put him over well enough that it's tough to be mad. Plus, that RKO finish was terrific. 7/10
