The New Day vs. Roman Reigns and Randy Orton
Who would have thought these names would be put together about a month ago? After Roman Reigns and Randy Orton talk about WWE Payback, The New Day comes out and brings their positivity to the Montreal crowd. They talk about being the only champions out there and this makes a 3-2 match between them and the two men fighting for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Payback.
Woods gets Roman in a side headlock and Reigns hits a shoulder tackle and then catches him in mid air with a Samoan Drop. Randy comes in and he kicks Xavier in the stomach followed by a suplex. Woods is isolated and Reigns hits a nice kick to Xavier’s face. Randy gets some kicks in and they are completely dissecting Woods. Big E gets the tag and hits a belly to belly suplex. Kofi stomps Randy and gets a two count. Woods hits a dropkick and continues the assault as we head to a commercial break.
Back from break and Roman Reigns is grounded by Kofi. Kingston hits another dropkick. Big E hits a suplex and another one until Kofi gets back into the ring. Woods locks in a submission hold, but Roman hits a clothesline and tags in Randy. He unloads onto Kofi, but he catches him in mid air with a body slam. Reigns hits a Superman Punch, but Woods kicks him. Randy catches kofi with a hanging DDT and sets him up for an RKO, hitting Woods. Roman Reigns goes for a spear and hits Randy Orton. Kofi pins Randy Orton for the win.
WWE is really putting some serious time into The New Day. If they want them to get over, they will. Think about the exposure they got. They are so corny that everyone will always hate them. They get some great exposure with two of the best faces in the company. What better way for Reigns to get cheered than facing these three guys? What would be better for The New Day than getting a win, albeit thanks to Reigns hitting Randy Orton. They get a pretty good win in a really good match. It also puts heat between Randy Orton and Roman Reigns, which is absolutely needed in these next few weeks. Furthermore, Randy Orton and Roman Reigns will fight in the main event tonight. Excellent.
Ryback Talks Bray Wyatt
Ryback comes out to talk about his injuries and talks about being hungry to be at his best and hungry to step foot in the ring to step foot in the ring. He acknowledges the Goldberg chants and gets the crowd right behind him. Bray Wyatt says the fear molds us all and that says he fears the unknown. He yells to run.
Ryback is finally getting “it.” He is getting that the crowd will do whatever they want and he needs to adapt. He needs to keep the road going and needs to realize that he will be cheered or booed and it does not matter. If he gets a reaction, any reaction, he will be used. This could be a good feud, but I still want to know the “Why.”
