The personal feud between Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre finally saw the two men enter the ring across one another tonight. McIntyre has served as a constant foil since Reigns has returned from his battle with leukemia.

The hard-hitting battle saw the Scottish Psychopath get an early advantage as he began working the arm and head of Reigns. McIntyre kept the momentum and delivered some vicious slams and punches to his opponent. The pace was relentless and it was one of the rare moments where Reigns was physically weaker than his opponent.

However, when McIntyre started disrespecting Reigns and his Shield brethren, he showed a new life.”The Big Dog” managed to battle back into the match by hitting a Drive-By, and hitting a great Samoan Drop outside of the ring. A few minutes later, he hit a Superman Punch and it was looking like Reigns was back in peak form.
He then hit a spear and it was all she wrote as Reigns toppled his opponent.
