He kicked out of 4 or 5 F5s when it only took one to put down Braun. They allowed blading just to add emphasis on how badly Brock needed to beat him up before he got the 3 count. That ending was all about gaining sympathy for Roman and maybe even to show us "See! We aren't forcing him to be the guy, he's losing matches!" How many Manias before ended with the loser's music hitting and him walking about as the final image?

It reminded me of those early Manias where no matter what, Hulk's music and him posing was the final image of the night, even when he wasn't even in the main event match.
