Last week, Roman Reigns and Buddy Murphy had a thrilling match. He must have earned the favor of someone backstage because even this week, he had a chance to showcase just how good he was. He took on Daniel Bryan and in a shocking turn of events, actually won!

Daniel Bryan is not someone who refrains from giving the rub to younger Superstars like Ali, helping them establish themselves in the roster. I'm certain that he must have asked for the opportunity to face off against Buddy Murphy to just put him over after a great match that turned him babyface.

Yes, this is also a testament to Bryan's genius because he worked a holds based style with a scowl on his face, that made the audience exasperated enough to root for his opponent. We don't appreciate just how gifted and brilliant Bryan is!
