I LOVED their Backlash match & this was just as good, if not a little better. I gotta say I definitely did not expect Randy Orton & Jinder Mahal to have such great chemistry w/ each other, but goddamn I am glad they do. Loved the beginning with Randy completely overwhelming Jinder, Jinder was in big trouble until he sent Orton flying to the outside, leg first. That lead to Jinder working on top in AWESOME fashion - loved all of his offense & that leg work was really great. Orton sold it really well too. Just a super well put together, laid out match. Can't wait for part III. ****

I agree this match was better than their previous match. Again, I thought Orton was really good here. I too loved how he overwhelmed Mahal early with those European Uppercuts. One of the problems with Orton as a babyface is that he usually has horrible babyface offense especially during the shine. I thought he had a lot of fire and it was great uptempo offense that got the crowd rocking but still stayed true to who Orton is. I was still struggling to what understand what Mahal is good at. He is very mediocre. He worked a basic but effective heat segment. He is terrible at bumping and his selling is very bland. Besides his punch, his offense is pretty generic. He does have a good punch. Orton destroying the SIgnh brothers was again the best part of the match. I loved how he had all that positive momentum and the crowd support and they totally deflated the crowd with the quick finish, which was smart. Oh the slugfest was great too. Basic match where Orton once again looked way better than Mahal. I have really dug Orton in this feud. Mahal is so blasé. Very good match nothing more nothing less. ***1/2

Wasn't crazy about this match, but it was markedly better than the Backlash bout (not a hard goal to surpass quite honestly). The limb work was simple but made sense, especially when it was instrumental to the ending (Jinder kicking Randy's leg to set up the Khallas). I really appreciate that kind of storytelling. Still, it was a bit longer than it needed to be and while the Singh Bros. going after Cowboy Bob was a logical incentive for Randy to lose control, it was still essentially the exact same thing we saw at Backlash.

 

Average match, but nothing spectacular. **1/2.
