Result: Still Universal Champion Bray Wyatt

Rating: 3.0/5.0 Stars

Analysis: This match was decent. It’s not exactly a match that would take anyone’s breath away, like Bray did to Bryan. However, it continued to show how dominant Bray Wyatt can be and Bryan did a much better job than Rollins did last month at helping Wyatt showcase that by giving him all he had without overusing signature maneuvers.  After this match, there is a backstage interview with Rey Mysterio as he talks about his evolution on the road to dethroning Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship with a steel pipe in honor of his son, Dominick.
