Evan’s Note: This was called a rivalry by Rich Brennan. Dear WWE, A rivalry does not mean repeating the same match over and over. Rivalries get development week to week. Last week Barrett returned but now Barrett had nothing to do with this week. Come on now, creative. Bring Barrett into this rivalry to give it a little life as opposed to seeing the same six man tag each week.

We get a recap of the absolute brawl between Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns. That spear through the table was one of my favorite spears of all time. Good on those two for battling. Wyatt addressing Reigns is up next.

Bray Wyatt Addresses Roman Reigns

Bray is out with his family by his side. Wyatt says he sacrificed his body to prove that Reigns is a mortal and Wyatt is forever. Wyatt says “Anyone but you” which prompts Reigns to come out. Reigns goes to step in the ring and Harper and Strowman move aside to let him in.

After the two men share an intense stare down, Wyatt goes to start speaking but Reigns steals the mic from him. Reigns just says “Hell in a cell” and throws the mic at Wyatt. Bray laughs and tells Roman he better be willing to die as Reigns walks away.
