BP: Good back and forth match, I liked the tension teased between the Dusts. Maybe we FINALLY get that singles match between them at Mania? One can hope.

Kane calls for another chokeslam and Tombstone but Bryan blocks both, then he sends Kane on to the apron and kicks him in the head. Bryan immediately connects with Knee Plus, then he reaches over and closes the casket lid to win.
Winner – Daniel Bryan
BP: I’ve been kinda sick of this matchup, but the added stipulation really helped. Kane was booked like he should be and Bryan gets a good win. I do hope this means they are finished, and Bryan does something worthy at Wrestlemania, Kane too. Overall it was a good show, but nothing special. Still good to have a live show, wish SD! did it more.
