If WWE hadn’t made it clear already that Roman Reigns was “The Guy”, having him wear his usual protective vest attire while Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose wore Raw-themed shirts which would surely have made it look to the casual viewer that Roman was the undeniable star of The Shield.
This match was the perfect way to kick off the PPV and felt like it matched the high expectations people had for it going into Survivor Series, though there are some opinions to the contrary on social media.
The vintage Shield numbers game caught up with New Day and, five years on from their debut together as a faction, Reigns, Rollins and Ambrose were able to get the win after a Triple Powerbomb on Kofi Kingston from the middle rope.
By the way, has anyone ever sold the Superman Punch better than Xavier Woods did in this match?
Roman Reigns - A
Seth Rollins - B
Dean Ambrose - B
Kofi Kingston - A
Xavier Woods - A
Big E - B
