It's down to Dean vs. Roman for the title. Charles Robinson reffing. You know it's a big match when he's in there.
I liked that they came to the ring and immediately tore into each other at the bell. That sort of physicality and aggression is how a big title match should feel. One of the aspects of the match early on was that neither one was going easy on the other, so I wonder if it will come down to someone showing mercy later and making a mistake. Roman is still selling the shoulder from the first bout.
Ambrose nailed a sunset flip powerbomb off the top and went off the top but was caught with a Superman Punch coming down. You have to love that they are letting loose with the big moves early since they want the belt so bad. I also loved that part of the story was that they each knew the other so well that they had scouted the other's big moves and were ready to defend and/or kick out of the move.
They continued the story of Roman's shoulder being a factor and really laid it out with a nice smashmouth physical style going back and forth until Reigns caught Ambrose with a spear and 1-2-3, Reigns gets the belt, just as he was originally pre-ordained to do had Seth Rollins not been injured.
As Roman took it all in, Ambrose recovered and hugged him, before showing respect and giving Reigns the ring. They did all sorts of confetti and pyro for Roman.
Triple H's music hit and out came The Game, clapping and applauding Roman. Is it angle time? We will see. He clapped and raised Roman's hand and then offered his hand for a handshake. Roman refused it and speared HHH instead. Sheamus hit the ring and nailed the Brogue Kick. They announced Sheamus was cashing in and rang the bell. He covered Roman, who kicked out at two.
Sheamus went for another and Roman ducked but was caught with the third attempt and pinned. Sheamus is the new WWE World Heavyweight champion. It felt pretty much like the night Daniel Bryan won the WWE title at Summerslam and immediately got screwed out of the belt.
We went off the air with Sheamus standing over the beaten Roman, a replay, HHH and Sheamus heading to the back and a dazed Roman wondering what happened after.
