This was a downright classic.
Randy Orton and Seth Rollins' feud has seemingly come to an end, with the Viper hitting the RKO to win at the end of a spectacular match.
Rollins and Orton have been Authority brethren for the better part of a year, since the Money in the Bank winner turned on The Shield to join up with Orton and Triple H's stable. They worked together until Rollins turned on Orton early in the fall, curb-stomping him through cinder blocks to put him out of commission for a while.
For a month, it wasn't clear whether or not Orton would forgive Rollins and re-join the Authority. He agreed to join forces with Rollins and co. again for a bit, but eventually turned on them again, setting up this match at WrestleMania by giving Rollins the double middle fingers and walking away during a tag team match.
Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury tried to interfere on Rollins' behalf early, for which they got double DDTs from the apron onto the floor. Rollins didn't like that too much and dove through the ropes, shoving Orton into the announce table.
Orton managed to counter a curb stomp attempt into his signature powerslam in the middle of the match, while Rollins hit a springboard moonsault from the second rope to the floor a few minutes afterwards. It was a match without rest holds, a whole lot of that kind of stuff, and in a way that felt more like a real match than a series of moves. It was amazing.
It looked like Orton would get the win 10 minutes in when he hit his second rope DDT, followed by an RKO shortly afterwards, but Rollins surprisingly kicked out. Orton lined up for the punt, but Noble and Mercury ran in to stop him, eating RKOs for their troubles. That allowed Rollins to set up a curb stomp, but Orton matched his adversary by kicking out of his finisher as well.
Rollins tried to win the match with a moonsault, with Orton rolling out of the way, but Rollins was able to land on his feet. He took Orton down with a kick and went for a curb stomp, but Orton sprang up for a second RKO, letting him pin Rollins for the win.
