Having no rules for this match actually helped it more than it hurt. Lacey Evans and Baron Corbin are perfectly fine WWE Superstars, but neither should be challenging for the major titles on RAW just yet. Both have slower, plodding in-ring styles that slow down exciting stars like Ricochet, Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.

Due to their (Evans and Corbin) involvement and the damage inflicted at various points, the match was slow at points throughout. The best use of the stipulation was when Lynch and Rollins jumped off of the ring post onto tables with Evans and Corbin on them. The other use that worked but that might have been controversial was when Corbin hit Lynch with an End of Days.

It reiterated what he (Corbin) was willing to do in order to win and it also set up a good finishing sequence that set Rollins off. After seeing what "the Lone Wolf" had done to his girlfriend, Rollins caned Corbin mercilessly and then hit him with three curb stomps. It was one of the best spots in the match.

The ensuing cash in wasn't anything special, so it doesn't deserve a grade. Lesnar just hit a couple of German Suplexes and one F-5. The Beast winning the title again drops the grade of the entire main event down a peg.
