The thing is, it would be an unexpected twist if the final match wasn't Rias vs. Akeno, because that's the match that everyone is expecting to happen. It would certainly shock everyone if someone managed to beat Akeno and compete against Rias in the final match instead. I would've liked to see someone else take on Rias, but I'm fine with Rias vs. Akeno.
