[2021-04-30-WWE-SmackDown] Daniel Bryan vs Roman Reigns

[ShittyLittleBoots]

Unsurprisingly great. Beautiful armwork-story with Bryan first starting out working the left arm, but naturally switching the focus to the right arm once opportunity presented itself when he countered Reigns' Superman Punch attempt w/ that kick to it. Bryan's work over the arm is obviously awesome, and Reigns' selling is rock-solid. Love the way the story played out in the end; the whole finishing stretch is so great with Reigns looking to put a blunt end to things, but Bryan just goddamn HOLDS ON to that arm with everything he got left, because he knows it's HIS. Then Reigns wisely simply switches it & ends it all. Simple, wonderful stuff that plays up to both of their characters perfectly. Overall it's probably not as amazing as their Fastlane match(es), but it's definitely great. They're a fantastic pairing. ****

I dug this quite a bit, however this was still underwhelming and obviously not on par with their previous matches. Reigns cutoffs were great, however his offense seemed a bit soft and not as vicious as you'd usually seem from him; even the top rope powerbomb looked gentle. Bryan's arm work was great, unfortunately he didn't focus on it more. His running knee also looked fantastic. Dug the finish with Reigns readjusting the guillotine choke and the ref. stoppage was unique a finish.
