Roman Reigns said he would give Daniel Bryan one last chance at the WWE Universal Championship, and tonight’s SmackDown main event was that chance. In a hard-fought contest, Bryan came up short once again, and is now barred from SmackDown as a result.

From the very start of the bell, both superstars were going at it ferociously. Reigns and Bryan have no love for each other, and it showed in this match, as Reigns was constantly looking to destroy Bryan. To his credit, Bryan never gave up, and continuously targeted the injured arm of Reigns. Late in the match, though, Reigns slowly began to rally himself, and came to life against Bryan.
Things came to a close when Bryan was unable to end things with a Yes Lock. Reigns was able to power out of the hold after some time, and proceeded to go to work on Bryan. Reigns hit Bryan with a nasty powerbomb after deadlifting him off of the mat, and then hit Bryan with another powerbomb after hitting him over and over on the back of the head. To end things, Reigns locked Bryan in the guillotine, forcing Bryan to pass out and the referee to stop the match.

After the end of the match, Reigns began to set up a conchairto for Bryan. Suddenly, Cesaro came running down into the ring and knocked Reigns out of it with a huge European uppercut. Unfortunately, that was all Cesaro could do, as Jey Uso ambushed the superstar from behind and ended any hope of help with a superkick. Uso then tied Cesaro up in the rings, and watched as Reigns hit Bryan with a huge conchairto.
