Result: Rollins puts Lesnar down with three Curb Stomps to win the strap (2:30).

Rating: From a wrestling standpoint this obviously wasn't up to much, but creatively it was cleverly put together, from unexpectedly kicking off the main show to its surprising brevity.

Given that this could've been a typical Suplex City spam-fest, it was refreshing to see WWE cut through the middle so efficiently.

It left the crowd fired up from the jump, and also generated some tension regarding a potential Lesnar re-emergence later in the show (which ultimately didn't happen).

Hardly a stunning crowd-pleaser of a title change, but Rollins' win was convincing enough, and in a wildly overlong show, cutting through the bloat was much appreciated. 6/10
