That must have run long because we went right into Bray Wyatt vs. The Undertaker.

Bray came out first. Then came Taker. He looks to be in pretty good shape. Actually awesome shape. He has colored his hair too, but I don't blame him. He walked in slowly and faced off with Bray and when the music stop, he got a big pop and an Undertaker chant. Bray chanted that this is mine now and charged Taker, and ate a big boot. Taker then went to work on Bray with punches and big shoulders. He grabbed the arm and went Old School immediately. That got a You Still Got It chant. As Take charged Bray nailed him. He then clotheslined Taker to the floor, but he landed on his feet. He dragged Bray out and went to work on him. The fans chanted for him. The ref ignored counting as Taker hit a legdrop on the apron from the outside on Wyatt. It is feeling like an Undertaker's Greatest Hits, and I am OK with that. Taker threw Bray back in the ring and charges him in the corner and Bray managed to come back. The crowd did an Undertaker/Let's Go Wyatt chant combo as Bray went to work. Bray went for a pin but only got one. By the way Bray is moving around find so if his ankle is hurt, he isn't showing it. Taker started trying to come back but Bray perched him against the post and did a great flying spot which would hurt Taker at all but looked good. I spoke too soon. Bray walked in and Taker got Hell's Gate, but didn't have it locked in right. Both men are down. Taker got up first but Wyatt suplexed him and hit the running senton for a two. The crowd is kind of quiet, largely I believe because they want to see Taker win and they don't think Bray will beat him. Bray did his upside deal in the corner deal and went for Sister Abigail but Taker reached up, got his throat and hit a chokeslam. He did the throat slash and it was time for the Tombstone. Two count only. They let Bray kick out and Taker sold that he was shocked. Taker sat up and still looked shocked. He throat slashed again and grabbed Wyatt. Bray got out of the Tombstone and hit a quick Sister Abigail and got a two. Now Wyatt is the shocked one. Wyatt walked on his hands over to Taker, who popped up. That freaked Wyatt out. They stood up and threw hands. The fans did a This Is Awesome. Bray got control and tried to se t Taker up again for Sister Abigail. He mocked the threat slash. He did the kiss but Taker got out and hit the Tombstone. 1-2-3. Taker wins.

If you take out the fact that there was no way Bray was going to win, which did affect how I watched it, it was a really good match.

They did a big pyro as Taker was kneeling down after the match.

I missed Roman Reigns' entrance due to a hiccup but Brock came out, he got a good pop. Ok, on the intros Roman got booed before Lilian even got his name out. I would say at least 70/30 boos. Then Paul Heyman took the mic, to a pop, and he introduced Brock. It's on.

Brock started fast, getting a cut on his cheek in the process. Roman ran in and Brock caught him and threw him around. To the crowd's delight. Brock sold the cut like "are you kidding me". Brock mauled him and whenever Roman would do anything the crowd would boo. Brock his a German, and the crowd popped. Roman did a sick smile like is that all you got. That made Brock attack him more. Brock came back with a few shots, but Brock suplexed the snot out of him. Brock is getting the pops here for sure. Brock used knees and another German. Roman kept getting up. That is what they should do here. Show Roman's fighting spirit. Brock threw Roman over the top rope and rained down knees and there was a loud "This is awesome" chant. This has a feel of Tommy Dreamer asking for more lashes from The Sandman's cane from 20 years ago. It worked once....As Brock charged Roman caught him on the apron and fought back and was in control shortly until Brock destroyed him with a clothesline from hell. Brock is bleeding from his mouth from the shot on the apron. Roman is fighting back, but Brock is a beast. Brock suplexed Roman so hard he slid out of the ring. But Roman keeps getting up. Brock suplexed Roman into the ring with nasty suplex number 8. Brock hit an F% but Reigns kicked out. Brock took off his gloves.

Brock kept killing him and Roman wouldn't quit. Brock charged on the floor but Roman moved and Brock got busted open on the post. Brock is a bloody mess Reigns is going for the Superman and hits it. Lesnar didn't go down. Another and Brock still didn't go down. Fans were booing. They don't want a Title change. Roman hit another and a Spear. Lesnar went to the corner. Another spear. Two count only. People are into it now. Reigns comes in and Brock hit an F5. Out comes Seth Rollins with the briefcase. He is cashing it in as both men are near dead. Rollins knocked Reigns out and hit the Curbstomp on Brock. He checked on Reigns and went for another. Brock got him up in the F5 but Reigns speared him. Rollins then hit the Curbstomp on Reigns and pinned him. Awesome end. Brock didn't lose his own title. Reigns put in a great fight. And the heel was despicable. They can go places from here. Great finish to a strong show.
