Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins and Kane
After Mark Henry was found laid out backstage, Reigns was left to take on Rollins and Kane in a Handicap Match. Rollins and Kane came out with J & J and plenty of security, who surrounded the ringside area.
Kane and Rollins worked together to completely dominate Reigns, while J & J were in total tool mode at ringside.
After that prolonged beatdown, Reigns started to comeback and suddenly had no problem overcoming Rollins, Kane and J & J, as he hit three Superman punches on Rollins and J & J, and a match-winning spear on Kane.
Reigns defeats Kane and Rollins via pinfall.
After the match, Randy Orton’s music hit, but he didn’t come from the entrance way, and he came from the side of the arena to attack Rollins.
The security team got involved before Rollins could take too much of a beating, but they did not fare well, as Orton dealt out RKO’s and rope-aided DDT’s. Orton did get his hands on Rollins, but Rollins was able to escape when J & J interfered and took a couple of RKO’s on his behalf.
1.5 out of 5 stars – This kind of match is just not doing Reigns any favors. Reigns is already over with the type of fans who appreciate this match. All this did was further frustrate the fans who get annoyed by this kind of match.
