Sami Zayn faced Randy Orton in the main event of the evening with the winner gaining the rights to join the Survivor Series lineup. Zayn wrestled his first singles match since turning heel and brought out the perfect heel tactics for the match.

Zayn's heel turn has brought a new dimension to his character which is thoroughly enjoyable for the WWE Universe, and the "Underdog from Underground" produced a quality match with the "Apex Predator", Randy Orton.

Orton lost to Zayn last week after a low blow and gained revenge by hitting a low blow of his own and winning the match. Orton employing villainous tactics while being a face was an odd but satisfying sight to end the evening.
