Roman Reigns vs. Luke Harper
Harper came out after Reigns’ standoff with Show. Show then came back down the ramp and sat and watched the match at ringside.
Harper had trouble with Reigns in the early going, as Reigns was fired up.
Harper tried to crawl back into it, but Reigns kept fighting and gave Harper a fight. However, Harper took over with a big dropkick on Reigns, who was coming full-speed off the ropes.
Reigns got back into it by rolling out of a powerbomb. He went for a Superman Punch, but Show distracted him by tossing his chair across the floor, destroying the steel steps.
Harper hit a spinning side slam, but Reigns kicked out, and was able to roll Harper through, as he hit a Superman Punch, which set Harper up for the dropkick from the floor to the apron.
Show provided a distraction, and Harper took over, but as he went for a big clothesline, Reigns speared him for the win.
Reigns defeats Harper via pinfall.
After the match, Show climbed in the ring and attacked Reigns, finishing him with a KO Punch.
1.5 out of 5 stars – I don’t get why Show is dominating everything. Harper looked really weak here, and it was just a shame.
The Miz backstage
This time, Miz talked about “Boyhood” winner of Best Picture at the Golden Globes.
Miz noted that the film was shot over the course of 12 years, and gave way to Mizdow, who’s shooting a similar project.
Mizdow said that he had cameras placed all over Miz’s house, in order to truly capture the life of a WWE Superstar.
Miz gave Mizdow a strange look, which Mizdow, as stunt double, was forced to return.
This one was much more Miz and Mizdow’s speed. Much better.
