Result: Styles receives a Chokeslam from Erick Rowan, allowing Bryan to steal the win (24:35).

Rating: Though Bryan and Styles were really trying here, this match just wasn't well thought-out by anybody involved.

Running it straight after the Women's Rumble was an atrocious idea, and if WWE was insistent on that booking order, then this match should've been a snappy 10-minute sprint rather than a 25-minute slog.

And of course, the shenanigans finish with the knocked out ref and Rowan's bizarre appearance really sucked the air out of the room.

People don't want to see these bulls*** finishes when two of the company's finest are involved. Easily the most disappointing match on the card. 6/10
