Result: Mysterio rolls Orton up for the sneaky win (11:30).

Rating: Wrestling's weirdest and most perfunctory stipulation match (next to a Stairs match, anyway) isn't usually fertile ground for a strong display, yet trust two pros like Mysterio and Orton to do it anyway.

Oddly enough, Orton actually seemed like he vaguely cared about this one, while both men pulled off some pretty creative work around the stipulation, especially Mysterio's chair slide out of the ring and that gorgeously slick finish.

An impressive showing given Mysterio's age and the holding pattern Orton's been in for ages. That a match between these two can still be in the top-half of a 2018 PPV's output shouldn't be ignored. 7/10
