Bobby Roode(c) vs Randy Orton - United States Championship
The two titans of SmackDown Live started off shoving each other. Orton gave Roode an early scare when he nearly landed the RKO out of nowhere. This resulted in the champion rolling out of the ring to get a breath.
Roode's turn to scare Orton was not far away, as he nearly landed a Glorious DDT, leading to The Viper rolling out of the ring. The two superstars had a fairly even match-up, but sadly the crowd just wasn't into it.
It seemed like Orton was ready to capture the one title that eluded him his whole career, but Roode countered enough to send him out of the ring. The two constantly had an answer to each other.
An interesting sequence saw kick out after kick out after kick out, and when Bobby Roode landed a picture perfect spinebuster, Orton still kicked out. Roode seemed to go to the turnbuckles as the last resort, but as he jumped, he got caught b a picture perfect RKO.
Randy Orton has now won the one title that has eluded him his whole career.
Randy Orton defeated Randy Orton to become the NEW United States Champion
After the match, Jinder Mahal came out and attacked Orton. Roode came from behind and hit the Glorious DDT on Jinder Mahal and then on Randy Orton before frustratingly walked away from the ring.
Backstage, Sami Zayn came to talk to Kevin Owens, who was angry over getting pinned by him the prior SmackDown Live. Zayn confirmed to him that it was different and that he would lay down for him in their match. Owens had none of it and walked away.
