Throughout the match, Devitt seemingly targeted Okada’s back with the champ selling all the offense in a brilliant manner.

The outside interference from the Bullet Club was honestly pretty enjoyable too and the fact that Okada successfully prevailed against the rest of the Biz Cliz members is another entertaining touch to the match as well.

However, due to the interference from Anderson and Tama Tonga, Devitt subsequently found himself a big opening and hit Okada with his own Tombstone move, followed up by a devastating Coupe de Grace, on a Steel Chair that was perfectly placed on ‘The Rainmaker’.
