Winner: Daniel Bryan

Rating: 4/5

AJ Styles hit a phenomenal forearm on Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan and Samoa Joe started the match followed by Kofi Kingston (number 3), AJ Styles (number 4), Jeff Hardy (number 5), and Randy Orton (number 6). This match exceeded all expectations. There were a lot of good spots in the match and it was quite exciting to watch.

At one point in the match, Kofi did a freefall off the structure and landed on Samoa Joe and Daniel Bryan. We also got to see Styles perform his trademark moonsault DDT to Kofi and Bryan at the same time.

The match had its fair share of innovative spots. One such spot was when AJ Styles hit his phenomenal forearm on Daniel Bryan who was trying to climb the steel structure. However, WWE decided that they would eliminate Samoa Joe first from the match. Joe was eliminated when Styles hit the phenomenal forearm.

Jeff Hardy hit an innovative Swanton Bomb from the top of the pod onto AJ Styles who was lying across the turnbuckle. However, he was immediately met with a running knee strike from Daniel Bryan who got the pinfall.

Styles was eliminated after he was hit with an RKO outta nowhere while he was attempting to hit the phenomenal forearm. Orton tried to RKO Kofi Kingston but Kofi countered into a Trouble in Paradise and pinned Orton.

It was now down to Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston. This is where this match took off. I love the fact that they gave Kofi his time to shine in this match especially against the WWE Champion. There were many moments when you thought that Kofi would actually walk away as champion.

However, in the end, Daniel Bryan pinned Kofi after hitting a running knee strike. This match showed us that Kofi is one of the best talents on the roster and he may soon be getting a major singles push which would be great to watch.
