Bianca Belair and Street Profits interrupted by Bayley, Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler. They brawl
Bianca and Street Profits defeat Bayley, Roode and Dolph
Bryan says his future may be on the line, but so is Reigns' title; when he wins the belt, Cesaro gets the first shot
Seth Rollins picks Bryan to win but wants Cesaro, with the winner getting the next shot
Natalya and Tamina defeat Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax
Booker T thinks Reigns retains, Nakamura picks Bryan
Big E defeats Apollo Crews by DQ after Commander Azeez interferes. Postmatch Kevin Owens tries to save Big E, but Azeez fights both of them off; Sami Zayn helps take out Owens, then looks longingly at the IC title. Azeez lets Zayn raise his and Apollo's hands, then takes out Zayn too
Miz picks Reigns; Cesaro picks Bryan, and accepts Seth's challenge
Roman Reigns (with new music) retains the Universal title over Daniel Bryan. Postmatch Cesaro tries to save Bryan from being conchairto'd on his way out of SD (and possibly the company), but Jey Uso ties him up in the ropes and makes him watch Bryan get conchairto'd

So DBry is either done with WWE, or heading to RAW or NXT. I wouldn't be shocked if he shows up in NXT, if just for the fact that Dunne has been going on and on for weeks now about how he's the best technical wrestler in the world, no one matches him, etc.

...Also because I really want to see a WALTER vs DBry match.

Daniel Bryan is one of the few people in WWE I'd actually like to see in AEW.

He won't go because his brain is broken but on the slim chance he does there are so many great combinations of matches he could have

So Roman actually won clean (with like the shittiest ground and pound I've ever seen - god, this guy is just so loving lame), no interference, then he gave Bryan a conchairto afterwards just to rub it in.

I think he told them he's not re-signing. That REALLY came across like a write-off.

I believe literally Roman's first clean win since returning. I do not count the uso match where his brother gave up on his behalf.

Reminder, even in the feud where the whole story was that Roman was lightyears ahead of Jey and he spent most of the forty minutes they wrestled beating the brakes off of him, he never pinned or submitted Jey. The finishes were
- Jimmy throwing in the towel on Jey's behalf.
- Jey quitting to protect Jimmy.

And every match since then, he would've lost like three times over without a mountain of cheating.

Also I think Roman still needed low blows to get the upper hand on Jey in both matches anyway.

Man the tag champs roaming between brands sounded like such a cool idea until they only went on NXT 2 times in 2 years, and also put the belts on Nia and Shayna. I miss Bayley and Sasha.

Yeah, that concept kinda hinges on the tag champs being a team that you actually want to see.
