Just like WWE Payback's main event, RAW featured a stacked Triple Threat Main Event (Keith Lee vs Randy Orton vs Seth Rollins) too. This week, Keith Lee went on a dominant rampage throughout the night, as he beat Dolph Ziggler to secure his position in the Triple Threat Match.

The main event itself was booked to determine the number one contender for Drew McIntyre's WWE title at the upcoming Clash of Champions event.

Seth Rollins defeated Dominik Mysterio in a good contest to enter the Triple Threat Match, while Randy Orton used dirty tactics and convinced Aleister Black to attack his opponent, Kevin Owens before their qualifying match.

Even in the Triple Threat Main Event, Orton used his brains over brawn and capitalized on the situation when the time was right. Keith Lee was an absolute force to reckon with during this bout, as Rollins and Orton had to manage to co-exist together in order to stand a chance against him.

Even though Lee didn't win the opportunity to face Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship, it was Rollins who was pinned by Orton.

The interesting comparison between Randy Orton and Roman Reigns can't be ignored here, as both competitors used smart strategies in the last two days to prevail in a type of match that is usually very unpredictable.
