Bray hits the ropes and destroys Del Rio with a running cross body block. When the referee was distracted Rusev kicked Bray in the head. Bray fell right into the backstabber by Del Rio for a two count. The lights go out and Erik Rowan and Braun Stroman appear. They beat they heck out Rusev and toss him over the barricade. Del Rio goes for the cross arm breaker, but Bray turns it into sister Abigail for the win! Reigns and Wyatt stare at one another to end the night.

I hope this is a one night type of thing. It was interesting to see Bray team with someone else, but that takes away from his character. His mystique and his gimmick is all about him being this mysterious, intense and unique character. This humanizes him and I am not sure that is what we want from The Wyatt Family. Roman Reigns continues to get paired with guys who the fans love. A smart move, I guess? The main event was good but still had gaping holes of illogical booking.
