Erick Rowan kicked off the blue brand by insisting that “might makes right” and that he and Luke Harper’s destruction of Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan in recent weeks has changed the perception of him and struck fear into the entire WWE locker room. Bryan interrupted Rowan and cut right to the chase: He wanted a fight right here and now.
A match between the former friends was quickly made official, and Rowan wasted no time imposing his will. Bryan fought back into the match by targeting Rowan’s leg. In the clutch, Bryan seemingly had Rowan on the verge of defeat when he locked in the LeBell Lock, but Luke Harper came out of the crowd and distracted Bryan. The Beard sent Harper to the floor with a dive through the ropes, but Rowan took advantage of the opening by bombarding Bryan and connecting with two Iron Claw Slams for the win.
Erick & Luke continued the attack on Daniel after the bell, but Roman Reigns hit the scene to even the odds, and Reigns & Bryan cleared the ring of their rivals. Clearly motivated by his dislike for Rowan & Harper, Bryan refused Reign’s attempt to help him to his feet and simply asked the WWE Universe if they wanted to see him and The Big Dog take down the two behemoths.
Their answer was a familiar one-word reply: Yes!
