It was Cody who picked up the win, but the finish wasn’t 100% clean, so a third match between the two top stars could be on the cards.

While the match featured several great spots, it was one moment in particular that really caught the attention of fans.

At one stage during the match, Cody went to hit Rollins with a moonsault, and while he may have missed, the spot was picture-perfect.

As you can see below, Rhodes sailed through the air beautifully, but Rollins was able to get out of the way, hitting his opponent with a Pedigree.
