Time and location
In arguably the most heated matchup on the card, Seth “Freakin” Rollins evoked Elton John’s “Rocket Man” as he made his way to the ring to face Matt Riddle.
Riddle brought the heat early but was reprimanded by the referee as Riddle got in his face. Riddle was left reeling after a barricade version of the buckle bomb was executed brilliantly by Rollins.
Much like how the rest of the evening had unfolded, the WWE Universe in Cardiff, Wales was vocal, singing Rollins’ theme song throughout the contest. This serenade propelled Rollins to deliver a superplex, but Riddle countered the follow-up falcon arrow with a wicked fisherman’s buster.
Riddle followed up by hitting a Floating Bro to the outside, a Bro-To-Sleep and a gnarly high knee strike but could only garner a two-count.
Rollins fought back and hit a humiliating Bro Derek on Riddle, but Riddle kicked out of what would have been a devastating way to lose.
Rollins made the bout increasingly personal as he continually berated Riddle, calling him a loser and bringing up his wife. Rollins continued the vitriol by hitting Riddle with an Elevated DDT before mocking RK-Bro even more with a Randy Orton mat pound.
This was too much for Riddle, who viciously pounded Rollins with strikes and even grabbed a steel chair. Rollins moved out of the way, however, when Riddle attempted to smash Rollins with the chair while The Visionary was draped across the announce table.
Rollins then caught The Original Bro with a Stomp and a second Stomp from the top rope to claim the win.
