In the match that cemented Roman Reigns as The Next Big Thing, Daniel Bryan has his first major singles match in almost a year in this showdown for the challenger’s spot to Brock Lesnar’s WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 31. The meta-narrative of Bryan’s meteoric rise meets the realities of Roman’s ascendance, but this match shows two things are true: Bryan is still as good as ever and Roman is better than many folks believe. In many ways, the match that started the cult of Reigns’ small but vocal “smart fan” following for his in-ring work, beginning a near four-year singles stretch as good as any in company history. |
