It's safe to assume that Kofi Kingston vs Randy Orton was the dud of the night. Apart from just the bad placement of it, the overall booking of the match simply didn't do any favors to the crowd. They were already getting spent at that point and it felt like the WWE Championship match was their break, because they stopped reacting entirely.

As a performer, that's one of the worst things that can happen during a match and it certainly did nothing to further Kofi Kingston's WWE Title reign as hoped. Sure, the right person went over, but for a story that's 10 years in the making, the match certainly didn't feel like it.

They could have easily added a stipulation to make things more intense, but they chose to make it a generic singles match. Apart from just that, the match went on for far too long and the crowd seemed mute at one point. Hopefully, this rivalry is put to rest and Kofi Kingston can face a more exciting challenger at Hell in a Cell.
