This pairing did not stay a team, nor did it go anywhere. But what truly made Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt work so well was the bizarre nature of the partnership. Throughout the summer of 2015, Reigns and Wyatt had been embroiled in a bitter rivalry which culminated in a Hell in a Cell match. Six months later, a week or so after WrestleMania, the Wyatt Family came to the WWE Champion's rescue against the League of Nations. The terrifying trio of bearded beasts seemingly turned face on the post-'Mania edition of Raw, by attacking Sheamus, Rusev and Alberto Del Rio.

It seemed unfathomable, but Bray Wyatt would make an absolutely phenomenal babyface. That was proved when he teamed with the Big Dog to take on Sheamus and Del Rio. The two former rivals managed to co-exist and eventually dazzled alongside each other. The finish of the match was perfect. As the Eater of Worlds kept Del Rio down for the pinfall, following a Sister Abigail, Reigns leapt over his partner to deliver a crushing spear to Sheamus. It was a beautiful sight.

Of course, WWE could not explore Roman Reigns being an ally to the Wyatt Family due to an injury to Wyatt soon after. But this match, and sequence, showed the incredible chemistry between Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns.
