Rating: 3.5/5.0 Stars

Analysis: What a show-stealer! This was an amazing form of retribution for Mysterio from losing to Lesnar last night. It was questionable why Orton helped Mysterio, but he did need to get his revenge against The O.C. for screwing him in the number one contender’s match. This was a shocking title change and an incredible match. Back from commercial, Kevin Owens then cuts a backstage promo on Seth Rollins and his condescending comments earlier in the night, calling him out for his comments and threatening to show him later why Raw is the Kevin Owens Show.
