#4 Keith Lee vs. Randy Orton

In an absolutely stunning moment, Keith Lee picked up a clean win over Randy Orton in less than 7 minutes. This was an emphatic statement made by WWE, giving the Limitless One a huge moment at Payback. If there were any doubts on RAW, Lee is now affirmed as a major star on WWE's main roster.

Orton, who is supposed to be the number one contender for the WWE Championship, got absolutely destroyed by the former NXT Champion. The Viper sold tremendously well for Lee, making him look even more of a beast than he already was prior to Payback.

This match was essentially just a vehicle to put Keith Lee over huge. The action was still alright, with the two trading side suplexes onto the announce table. Orton hit a draping DDT but saw his RKO attempt countered into a Spirit Bomb from Lee. That was shockingly enough to keep him down for the three count.

The short match that preceded Lee's big win was fine, but this was much more of a moment. It remains to be seen what is next for him after Payback, but one thing is for certain. The WWE Universe is basking in Keith Lee's glory.
