Wyatt was playing possum the whole time and tries to get Dean with Sister Abigail. Ambrose manages to hit Dirty Deeds on Wyatt instead and Reigns gets ready for a Spear. He connects with the Spear to get the win over the Wyatts at SummerSlam.
Evan’s Note: The match that a lot of people suspected would have a heel turn in it turned out to have none, just a ton of action. The opening sequence of the match at ringside was well done and had a lot of cool spots. The story of Reigns being out of it for so long make Ambrose look as resilient as ever, and the Wyatts looked good here too. Another winner of a match on the SummerSlam card.
