For as hyped as it was the Ambulance Match was just OK.

As WWE moved into summer, Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns revisited their on again off again rivalry. While WWE tried to sell the intensity of the big man war, it was difficult to get over convincingly when Brock Lesnar and Samoa Joe were working essentially the same storyline with more organic heat.

Strowman and Reigns' Ambulance Match was a decent enough brawl, and it was refreshing to see Reigns lose a match clean to the guy who was more over with the fans. The story became far more about the post-match angle, though, as Reigns played the sore loser attacking Strowman afterwards, locking him in the ambulance, and crashing it into a production truck.

The whole ordeal felt like it was trying to communicate a much more exciting war than the players at hand actually delivered, and the post-match attack fell particularly flat. Strowman neither appeared seriously hurt nor exploded free from the ambulance in a dominant display, making for a more awkward finish with no real takeaway for the fans.
