6: Dean Ambrose (C) def. Dolph Ziggler (to retain the WWE Championship)

Dean Ambrose faced Dolph Ziggler pretty early in the card, considering the fact that this was a WWE Championship match. The build-up to this match had been all about how Dolph Ziggler would steal the show and how he’s been overlooked and underestimated he has been throughout his career. The build-up to the match was also surprisingly good considering how badly fans reacted when Ziggler was first announced as the #1 contender.

The match went back and forth in the beginning but Ambrose ended up dominating long stretches of the match. The champion looked every bit his part and he looked too good for Ziggler. Dolph promised to steal the show in the build-up to the match and it was a resounding failure on his part. Ambrose won the match after blocking a top-rope facebuster which he followed up with the Dirty Deeds for the cocky pin.
