Bray Wyatt gave another passionate promo before a creepy video package played featuring some of the characters that have been introduced in recent weeks.
After that was over, the main event was all that remained. Jake Paul was supposed to accompany Logan to the ring, but he did not appear. Reigns had Paul Heyman by his side as he usually does.
Reigns was confident, but it did not look like he was underestimating his opponent. They locked up and The Tribal Chief powered him to the corner. They shoved each other a bit, which visibly angered the champ. Logan scored a waistlock takedown to surprise Reigns, but it didn't slow him down.
The Tribal Chief began to big-time Paul to show who was in control. The social media star did not give up and actually took the champ down a few times before clotheslining him out of the ring.
As Paul began to get more confident, Heyman started to look worried. But Reigns seemed to have the match in hand for the most part. The YouTuber was able to hit a few big moves like a blockbuster from the middle rope, but he couldn't keep the champ down for the count.
Paul hit a few big right hands later in the match, including his own version of the Superman Punch, but The Tribal Chief kicked out every time.
The Usos came out and beat up Paul's entourage after he put Reigns through the announce table with a massive splash from the top rope. This led to Jake Paul making his entrance to take out both Usos with a pair of right hands.
Solo Sikoa made an appearance, but several officials prevented him from engaging with Jake. Logan took out both Usos with a dive over the top rope. When he got back into the ring, Reigns nailed him with a Superman Punch followed by a Spear for the pin.
Whether you like him or not, you have to admit the celebrity boxer-turned-wrestler put on a great show. He might not be as technically proficient as somebody who has been doing this for years, but he has a clear grasp of how to play into the big moments and how to use his athleticism to hit dangerous moves and sell for his opponent.
As impressive as Paul was here, it makes no sense for Reigns to be selling this much for a rookie. Having a celebrity compete is fine, but the social media star put up more of a fight than some of the other guys the dual champ has defeated during his run. It might be fun to watch, but it doesn't make much sense.
However, that does not take away from how much fun it was to watch this whole thing go down.
Winner: Roman Reigns
Notable Moments and Observations
- It's a little surprising that Paul did not have new gear for this match, or at least a new color scheme.
- The big tree AR graphic WWE uses for Reigns is awesome. The graphic of Reigns himself is not. It just doesn't look right for some reason.
- The drones they were using to light up the sky with different designs was a cool detail. WWE should do more unique stuff like that for PPVs.
- The look on Reigns' face after Paul took him down for the first time was the perfect mix of shock and anger.
- Paul's leapfrog was impressive, but his flip into the ring to hit a clothesline was legitimately one of the most impressive spots of the night.
- Paul might have a better frog splash than Dominik Mysterio.
