Winner – Randy Orton

BP: Another good match that kept my interest. I expected Orton to win here, but it was still fun to watch. Interference was expected but kept to a minimum, and the final RKO was a really great spot. Orton has connected with some great RKO spots over the years, and this will be highlight reel material.
