Sure enough, it was then time for Show and Kane.
Reigns did his best to start strong against Kane, but he was clearly beaten, and did a good job of selling that. He was able to make a tag to Bryan, who tried to come out hot, but was in the same state as Reign.
Kane and Show were dominating Bryan, when Kane threw Bryan into the ropes, and he knocked into Show in the process. Show was very upset with Kane, but Kane wasn’t backing down. Kane and Show double-teamed Bryan when Show tagged in, but they’re were still some issues there.
Bryan fought back against Show, but Show cut him off as he was crawling for a tag. Show and Kane continued jawing at each other as the match went on, then Show went for a splash off the middle rope, and Kane stopped him by tagging himself in.
Kane and Show kept going at each other, and that allowed Bryan to lock in the Yes Lock. Show climbed in to break it up, then thew Kane towards their corner and tagged himself in.
Kane kept arguing with Show, who again stopped Bryan from making a tag, but he got locked in a Yes Lock of his own. Kane broke it up and went on to mock Show. The two kept arguing until Show finally hit Kane with a KO Punch. Show then turned around into a spear. Bryan followed with a running knee on Show for the win.
Bryan and Reigns win by last eliminating Show and Kane via pinfall.
After the match, Bryan and Reigns stood next to each other and looked up at the WrestleMania sign. Reigns helped Bryan to his feet, and the two gave each other a respectful nod to end the show.
3 out of 5 stars – This was way too long, which obviously hurt the match. I would’ve rather just seen Bryan and Reigns vs. The Usos, because that was the best part, by far.
I think Show knocking out Kane was supposed to be a big deal, but I’m actually scared that there might be some sort of fallout from this. The last thing I want is for those two to have a match against each other.
I think, all in all, this match was pretty good in building to their match for Fastlane, it was just too long.
