Randy Orton vs. Sami Zayn

The Viper and the Underdog from the Underground faced each other for the second time ever as a spot in the SmackDown team was on the line.

Zayn mounted the pressure in the early goings as he targeted Orton's chest with knife-edged chops. This charged Orton up, who sent Zayn out and looked to ram him into the barricade. Zayn, though, revered it into a moonsault.

We returned from the break and Zayn was controlling the match with a chinlock. A heel kick yielded him a two-count. Zayn went for the snap suplex but got dropped on the ropes by Orton. Orton began to rally and connected with a couple of lariats, followed by a vintage Orton Powerslam. He went for the vintage DDT, but failed to get all of it.

Zayn rolled out in the nick of time but couldn't avert the damage that followed. Orton slammed Zayn into the announce table.

Back in the ring, Zayn went up top for some aerial action but Orton stopped him in his tracks and delivered a suplex from the top rope. The action spilled outside yet again as Orton got sent face first into the ring post followed by the insanely beautiful Zayn DDT. Vintage Sami!

Back in the ring, Zayn looked for the Helluva Kick but Orton countered with the rope-hung DDT. KO came out to help but Orton survived a roll-up due to the distraction.

Orton took advantage of the referee arguing with Owens by low-blowing Zayn and following it up with a zesty RKO! 1-2-3!

Result: Randy Orton def. Sami Zayn to become the first member of team SmackDown
