Daniel Bryan and Cesaro beat Jey Uso and Seth Rollins in a tag team match to kick off the show. He and the Swiss Superman dominated the heels and their post match attack on Jey Uso also attracted attention. However, it was Bryan’s promo that might’ve chided the Tribal Chief.

Reigns‘ announcement reminded many of his prior announcements during his rivalry with Jey Uso. His matches are special to watch, not just because of the Universal Championship, but he raises the stakes to make the match feel a lot bigger, adding more pressure on his opponents.
