Sheamus def. Dolph Ziggler and Alberto Del Rio to retain the World Heavyweight Championship

What I Liked:

Dolph can sell any move and make it look excellent. Sheamus showed his strength by throwing Ziggler in the air. I loved the beginning of this match, with fast paced action. You could tell all the guys were trying to feel each other out. Del Rio stepped up his aggression as well, as you felt the match becoming more important as the match went on.I also felt Ziggler was booked intelligently, attacking both guys and not necessarily having the two "heels" control Sheamus too much.We also get Dolph using the steps to knock out Del Rio, more of a brawling side of Ziggler we have not seen before. The finish came when Sheamus surprised Ziggler with a Brogue Kick out of nowhere to get the victory. Great action from beginning to end, and I was a huge fan of the timing they gave these guys. The match went very long, but it never got dull. There was always drama and action. Nothing in the match made me dislike the final segment. I wanted a great title match, and we got one.

What I Disliked:

This would have been absolutely perfect for the live Smackdown on Tuesday, so no spoilers ruined the outcome.
