The family that fights together, stays together
The war went on between the two warriors. The Tribal Chief delivered some serious punishment on McIntyre.
He put the WWE Champion through the announce table and then came the OMG moment. Reigns speared McIntyre through the barricade, crushing their bodies as well as the barricade. However, the Scottish warrior didn’t give up.
Luck didn’t favor McIntyre as he delivered the claymore and Reigns fell onto the referee, knocking him out. This gave Jey Uso the opportunity to make a guest appearance in the match.

The main event was surely WrestleMania worthy and should definitely happen in front of the fans once again. Reigns did not win clean, but with his current heel character, he doesn’t need to win it clean.
