Sheamus vs. Roman Reigns
Result: Sheamus defeats Roman Reigns via count-out.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars
- Reigns and Sheamus began trading blows early on.
- Reigns would take control momentarily until Sheamus hit an uppercut and a take down.
- As Sheamus tried punching Reigns’ chest, the former Shield man hit numerous elbows to get out of it. However, Sheamus responded with an Irish-curse back-breaker.
- We came back from break to see Reigns rallying. As he attempted to hit his big kick on the outside of the ring, Sheamus hit a huge clothesline to regain control.
- Sheamus continued to punish Reigns with multiple back-breakers.
- As Sheamus went for the Cloverleaf, Reigns grabbed the ropes but was thrown into them. He would go for a Cloverleaf for the third time. Reigns would fight his way out but get taken down again.
- Reigns finally worked his way back with a take down, kick and clothesline over the ropes. Reigns hit a big clothesline on Sheamus onto the announce table.
- Moments later we saw Bray Wyatt on the screen having a tea party. This led to Reigns running to the back to find Wyatt.
Rob’s Note: I love where the Wyatt-Reigns feud is going. It’s one of the few that has depth and layers to it, which most WWE storylines don’t have in 2015.
