Bryan coming out as a killer, having the banger match we all expect him to have, and falling just short because Swerve was just that much more vicious would hardly put egg on the faces of the folks hyping up him up.
What's been weird to me is Bryan saying stuff like he did in one interview that he's probably going to need neck surgery before the end of the year. I get that he was probably just trying to cast uncertainty on the outcome, but it makes it appear that if he wins he's just going to be a short term champ one way or another.
