Result: Roman kills Braun with a Spear to win the title (12:45).

Rating: The only not-good match of the entire show was the main event, and it was disappointingly close to being an outright dud despite the clear potential for a fun demolition derby brawl.

Though it's clear to see what WWE was trying to do with Roman sitting out the majority of the match, having him run in and mop things up at the end just wasn't a creative or satisfying way to cement his heel turn.

At least a fully heel Roman as champ has a ton of potential - if WWE has the courage to commit to it, at least. As both a wrestling match and a story, though, this was a let-down. 4/10
