Christian vs Randy Orton. Excellent match.

Punk/Cena was brilliant again, but Christian and Orton just went all out with this match.

Personally I thought Barrett/Bryan was the best match!

The women's match and Barrett/Bryan really delivered for their place on the card and I enjoyed both. Both main evnets were stellar too but Christian and Orton pulled out all the stops and beat the f*** out of each other and it was great. Christian really showed in that match that he belongs at the top of the card, and I think the powers that be in WWE are beginning to recognize this fact.

At this point, I'm having a hard time choosing the better between Orton/Christian and Punk/Cena... I actually thought this month's Punk/Cena was better in ring, but the angle was weaker, and the moment wasn't nearly as cool. This was a great Christian/Orton match, too... I'd say both matches were on equal planes, but I think I enjoyed the action of Punk/Cena more.

Can't forget to give a very honorable mention to next best match after those two great ones, Bryan/Barrett. That match was really, really solid, and I am really looking forward to how this pans out... though I hope Daniel Bryan doesn't end up losing the briefcase to him or anything.

Barrett/Bryan. A nice well fought match that made both guys look great; clean finish with no shenanigans.

[4real]

Christian vs. Orton for me. Seemed like more tension and excitement in that match than Punk vs. Cena which while good wasn't as exciting or tense as their MITB match.

[Ryushinku]

Orton/Christian.

Cena/Punk then Bryan/Wade after that.

[Snaptastic]

Had to be Punk/ADR. 5 star classic.

[Urfarkendarf]

Punk/Cena without the clusterf*** ending woulda been great.

Christian/Orton was a brutal match for the last 10 minutes and I loved it.

Really good PPV all around, but I didnt like the ADR cash-in. If it goes somewhere interesting, I reserve the right to take this back.

[Society of the Spectacle]

I am genuinely surprised that Bryan/Barrett is not getting more votes. I might give Punk/Cena close second to them, but I think Christian/Orton, while good, had kind of a contrived finish. Christian deciding to jump off the ropes near an area where steel steps were laying was kind of silly to me. Actually a lot of the weapon spot felt contrived to me. The kendo stick was the exception, as those shots were pretty brutal.

I think the lack of crowd kind of killed the Bryan/Barrett match in some eyes, as even though both guys were going full on, the crowd didn't seem to care, which is extremely unfortunate considering Barrett and Bryan are both very talented, and are two of the company's rising stars.

more people like Punk/Del Rio than Bryan/Barrett? you silly billys!

[Deleted]

Bryan / Barrett. The only match that was even close was Christian / Orton, and its ending minutes killed it.

[AdamAFL was sooooo wrong]

For me it was Christian v Orton.

Honourable mentions to Bryan v Barrett and Punk v Cena.

[GuyOfOwnage]

From a pure wrestling standpoint, Barrett/Bryan hands down. Fantastic match that put both guys over huge. From a storytelling standpoint, probably Christian/Orton. Can't really decide, TBH.
