Daniel Bryan vs. Big Show

Roman Reigns sat ringside for this match.

Show was on top for most of the match, with Bryan having some occasional comebacks.

The first big comeback came when Bryan locked a sleeper hold on Show. He had it locked in good and had Show reeling, until he became distracted by Reigns, who was signing autographs and taking pictures with people at ringside.

Show reestablished control of the match after that, and put a real beating on Bryan.

Again, Bryan got back into it, attacking Show’s legs and getting him off his feet. This time, Show started throwing free shirts out to the audience, and the action made its way towards him. Show accidentally threw Bryan into Show, starting a yelling match between them, before Bryan side-stepped a spear from Show, sending him right into Reigns.

The action returned to the ring, and it looked like Bryan might be getting ready to put Show away, but Reigns came in and hit Show with a Superman Punch.

After the match, Reigns stood over Show, until he turned around and Bryan hit him with a flying dropkick.

Bryan and Reigns then had an epic brawl that saw them split up by referees, then they each pointed to the WrestleMania sign and shook hands. Then they started brawling again.

They went through the crowd and back to ringside, until they were split up by NXT trainers Bill DeMott, Robbie Brookside and Norman Smiley.

2.5 out of 5 stars – Average match between Bryan and Show. I’m just not a fan of how they booked Bryan and Reigns’ matches on this show.

However, the brawl was an A+. The crowd was hot for it, and it just kept building to a point where neither man had a decided advantage, and I think most fans came away from it looking forward to the main event on Sunday.
