Result: Braun eliminates Shane McMahon with a Powerslam to give Team Raw the win (24:00).

Rating: This was a mess, basically. Drew eliminating Joe was great for Drew, but did it really need to come at the expense of burying Joe rather than, say, eliminating Jeff Hardy?

The Team Raw dissension was mildly amusing at first but quickly got irritating, especially as it ended up making Drew look like a bit of a goof, and had no payoff with Raw still winning. The Balor/Mysterio sequence was the easy highlight, especially as Mysterio ended up scoring the surprise elimination.

The final stretch was boring and uninspired, with Shane lasting to the end despite being far younger than his teammates.

The Miz forcing him back into the ring was hilarious, sure, but the ego-centric booking just makes Shane frustratingly unlikeable, especially following the Crown Jewel incident.

At least Shane took the L, but in terms of pacing, layout and booking, it was sloppy as hell, if moderately entertaining as a demolition derby. 5/10
