Ricochet started quickly and hit some breathtaking moves early in the match, but he also crashed in the corner and hurt his leg. Styles focused on Ricochet&#8217;s leg often after that, and it felt like Ricochet was a few steps slower with his injury. Ricochet still fought and showed heart, but his leg and the multiple distractions from Gallows and Anderson helped Styles dominate a large portion of this match. There were some really fun sequences here, and I thoroughly enjoyed the finish.

This was a lot better than I expected it to be. They were given a lot of time to develop the match, and that helped a lot. Trish started by countering a lot of Charlotte&#8217;s attempts at moves, and though you could kind of see Charlotte helping Trish, it was a good start. Then there was a moment when Charlotte took over, and that&#8217;s when the match really started getting good. Trish has to fight and struggle for every bot of offense she got, and she was able to frustrate Charlotte on numerous occasions. There were a number of very good near falls late in the match, and I got more invested as the match went along.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nBret Hart wishes Seth Rollins luck in his match.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nA commercial for WWE 2K20.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nA look at the buildup for the WWE Title Match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 7<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>WWE Title Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Randy Orton vs Kofi Kingston<\/strong> (WWE Champ) w\/ Big E, Xavier Woods (SD Tag Champs)<br \/>\n(referee: Ryan Tran)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69f35a128a504','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69f35a128a504\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69f35a128a504\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p>Result: the match ends in a double count out<br \/>\nTime: 16:25<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p>Match Thoughts<br \/>\nI liked the match, but the finish was unfortunate.

It was maybe a little slower than I expected it to be, but it wasn&#8217;t bad. The energy and anger mostly came at the end though, and I kind of thought there would be more anger from Kofi right from the start.

Like most Lesnar matches, the first few minutes had gigantic moves that could have reasonably ended the match. Both men hit their finishers, but the match continued. And unlike most Lesnar matches, this match lasted a decent amount of time. Rollins had counters for a lot of Lesnar&#8217;s attacks, but Lesnar also connected with a ton of his usual moves. Rollins absorbed a tremendous amount of punishment while dealing some damage of his own from time to time. Rollins was looking for only the biggest moves in his arsenal, and he hit them with more frequency as the match went on. This was fun. I don&#8217;t know that it was worth using the Money in the Bank to put the title back on Lesnar just so we could have this match, but I did enjoy what I saw tonight.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nI liked the show.
