4: Bobby Roode Vs Randy Orton

Randy Orton’s US title victory at Fastlane was one of the night’s biggest surprises, and the match itself was stronger than it’s terrible build-up had suggested it would be.

Roode and Orton had a methodical slow burn of a match, which was beginning to build some tension when Orton hit the RKO outta nowhere. While this was a great finish, the match felt like it still had one more gear to go before it reached its climax, and had things been paced a little better, it would have been a more exciting moment.

The post-match attack from Jinder Mahal means that we will be getting a triple threat match at Wrestlemania. Hopefully, Roode uses that stage to recapture his title, and Orton winning is just a case of him ticking the last box on his list of achievements in the WWE. Jinder’s presence also definitely means the match at Mania will not be as good as this, especially given Orton and Jinder’s previous work in the ring together.
