The who-attacked-Roman saga continued on SmackDown, as Roman Reigns fought Buddy Murphy on Tuesday. WWE's Best Kept Secret emphatically wrestled Reigns, showing why he deserves to be there.

While it's not every day someone gets to make their debut against the top guy, it's rarer that he pushes the Big Dog to his limit. Murphy was superb here. Even Reigns nodded his head after the match, approving of the Amazing Secret's disclosure. Murphy needs to hold his ground in the coming months.

However, Murphy's night wasn't always kind to him. Bryan and Rowan mimicked Reigns' interrogation of Murphy from last week, harassing him to confess that he had lied. It was amusingly brilliant. Bryan was at his mocking best throughout the night.

Now, Bryan has told Reigns that he'd be revealing the identity of the culprit next week. It should lead to unmissable things on the blue brand.

Elsewhere, the Kingston-Orton rivalry moved ahead with RKO's. It wasn't absolutely correct but wasn't a miss either. We'd be glad to know what you think about it.
