SmackDown Review: Roman Reigns Takes on Rusev

WWE.com

Bray Wyatt vs. Erick Rowan

Wyatt started the match by yelling at Rowan, telling him to just lay down. Rowan refused, and the match got right into the heavy hitting.

After a few huge shots from Wyatt, Rowan responded in kind, but it was Wyatt who controlled things at the beginning of the match.

Rowan had a short comeback sequence, but when it was time to finish Wyatt off, Rowan had a little trouble doing so, as he seemed to show a little compassion for his former leader. Wyatt didn’t show the same compassion, instead hitting Sister Abigail for the win.

Wyatt defeats Rowan via pinfall.

2.25 out of 5 stars – This match was given a very disappointing amount of time.

Wyatt asked Ambrose what Wyatt would be willing to do to Ambrose, if he was willing to do what he did to Rowan.

Wyatt said that this time with Ambrose has been fun, but that all good things must come to an end, and that their journey must end with Ambrose on a “slab in the back of an ambulance.”

Edge, Christian, Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble backstage

Edge and Christian were wondering how they could lose J & J, and they quickly got on the same page. Edge said that they should practice the Five Second Pose, and Christian agreed, though he admitted that it was for no reason at all. Mercury ran in and said that they would do everything tonight, even the Five Second Pose. As J & J posed, Edge and Christian were able to sneak away.
