Roman Reigns Defends His Title Against LA Knight
The main event of the show was the match between Roman Reigns and LA Knight who has been on the rise in the past few weeks. Ever since the bell rung, Knight went straight at Reigns who was on the back foot for majority of the match using several major moves on ‘The Tribal Chief’. But then experience and intelligence told a different story as this was all in favor of Roman.
Back and forth as was the case in the fight that saw the crowd standing as Reigns responded with a powerful Spear to end the fight and retain his Undisputed Universal Championship title. Reigns reigns supreme whilst LA Knight looks exactly like he’s going to be the big contender in the future.
The Bloodline in Turmoil?
It got worse after Roman Reigns ‘s victory following serious rivalry and conflict within The Bloodline. One of the competitors who are currently feuding with Roman and his brother Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso approached the former after the fight. The argument turned to cursing, but they did not fight physically, nonetheless, it can be seen that The Bloodline’s crisis inside the company is still ongoing. Here is where one can assume that there will be betrayals and switching of sides in the subsequent episodes where the fans will watch this storyline unravel.
Charlotte Flair vs. Bayley Ends in Controversy
This week Charlotte Flair went head to head with Bayley in what was predicted to be a technical barn burner. From two-time women champions and top athletes, the fight showcased both southpaw’s technicality with each going for the Empresa de primeraremolinos and escapes. Then, just as Charlotte locked in the Figure-Eight Leglock, Bayley’s Damage CTRL teammate, IYO SKY appeared making quick work of the referee.
This was enough for Bayley to perform her move and score a pin on Charlotte but controversy arose as the leg of Charlotte was on the ropes when the pin was made. It makes Bayley, though not very popular, the new number one contender for the title and Charlotte would definitely look forward to getting even with her.
Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar Dominate Tag Team Action
In the tag team match you witnessed Rey Mysterio along with his son, Santos Escobar taking on Viking Raiders. The mixture of air-style Rey and technical grounded Escobar overwhelmed the power-house Viking Raiders team. Rey, the current WWE United States Champion, made a victory over Erik after delivering the 619 in addition to a top-rope splash from Escobar.
