Thoughts: Orton, like Edge/Adam Copeland, has slower matches. Even if the logic or story is there, it's so slow that it hurts some of the excitement. This was a pretty safe last man standing match. There was no blood until after it ended as Orton bled from the punt. They finally had Cody punt Orton here to show that Cody could pull the trigger on Orton. I thought it was just average to acceptable. It was mostly them hitting their signature moves and doing some weapons shots. I didn't think they put any great effort into this and it went similar to how I thought it would.

Thoughts: It was an okay match here. It got a lot of time and they put out a good effort. The faces winning was a bit of a surprise, but the titles are meaningless and holding them wasn't really helping the heels. This was one of the better tag matches we've had in WWE as of late and I liked how it turned out.

Thoughts: Roman won as expected. It was the usual Roman match with a very slow pace, ref bumps, spears and superman punches. I have no idea why they didn't have Bloodline or anyone else try to interfere as it would have added drama and maybe furthered a program. I thought it was average.

Roman slaps his hand on the wrong side and hugs him. They then shake hands and Sami raises Roman's arm. Roman raises Sami's arm. Triple H then gives Roman the title and ring after.

Roman talks on the mic after and tells the crowd to acknowledge him. 

Overall thoughts: Orton/Cody was the same match they have been having and it was average to acceptable. The tag match was the best match on the show and was okay. Green/Liv was average and Tiff's turn after was more noteworthy. The main was the usual slow Roman match where Roman won as expected. That was average.

The crowd was either not that loud or not mic'd up that well the whole show. The show had a slow pace and just felt like it dragged on for days...and that's with me being able to skip the commercials. A million wrestlers were totally missing from the show as usual with WWE PLE's as they were too busy sitting around doing nothing at home. I found this one really hard to get into. I'd give it a 4 out of 10. Only one match impressed here and we only actually had 4 true matches anyway. It was a lazy effort and it was below average.
