Breaking: Roman Reigns defeats Drew McIntyre via pinfall to retain the titles

Reigns and McIntyre stared each other down after the bell rang and Reigns got increasingly frustrated with the fans loudly singing in support of McIntyre.

McIntyre was able to overwhelm Reigns multiple times early, causing Reigns to go to the outside of the ring and gather himself. McIntyre continued to take the fight to Reigns, clotheslining him over the top rope before throwing him into the barricade, ring apron and ring steps on the outside.

Karrion Kross caused a distraction from the crowd, throwing a water bottle before Reigns took over the action at that point. Reigns began taunting McIntyre after putting him down on the canvas.

Reigns continued dropping McIntyre with right hands, a tactic he returned to several times whenever McIntyre would try to make a comeback.

Reigns then demanded a microphone and demanded to be acknowledged before turning around into a Glasgow Kiss headbutt from McIntyre. McIntyre began to throw Reigns around the ring with belly-to-belly suplexes. McIntyre scored a near fall with a spinebuster.

As McIntyre tried to hit the Claymore, Reigns countered with a Superman punch. Reigns nearly won the match after a spear but McIntyre was able to kick out to keep the match alive.

Looking for a way to keep McIntyre down, Reigns locked in a guillotine choke but McIntyre smashed him into the turnbuckle to break the hold, only for Reigns to immediately lock it in again.

McIntyre broke the hold again and speared Reigns through the ringside barricade only to get hit with another Reigns spear back inside the ring.

Reigns argued with the referee, saying that it should have been a three-count, the distraction allowing McIntyre to hit a Claymore that also knocked the referee from the ring. Austin Theory ran in to try and cash in the Money in the Bank contract but was knocked out by Tyson Fury.

McIntyre hit another Claymore and again Reigns kicked out. The two then brawled, both hitting big moves before McIntyre hit a spear and a Claymore, seemingly having the match won when the referee was dragged from the ring by Solo Sikoa, the younger brother of The Usos, setting Reigns up for a spear to retain the title.

A very good match that could have used a bit better pacing early on and a fine way to keep the belts on Reigns while keeping McIntyre strong.  After the match, Tyson Fury shook Roman Reigns’ hand.

Fury then helped McIntyre to his feet and raised his hand before getting on the mic to tell McIntyre he did the country proud before singing “American Pie.”
