4 Ups And 4 Downs From Last Night’s WWE SmackDown (Aug 13)

2. A Good Reigns Vs. Harper Match With A Predictable Ending

It didn't feel like the first time that Roman Reigns has faced Luke Harper because these guys have been on the opposite side of many battles whether it's been in singles or tags. Their chemistry is pretty good because they can work a power match while Harper is probably the best big man bumper in WWE. He's just excellent in terms of making his opponent look great and for a guy like Reigns that's exactly what he needs because his powerful offensive game is what he's all about. They went about 11 minutes with Reigns looking like he was going to win the match following a Superman Punch. Before he could hit a Spear, Wyatt showed up and attacked him, which led to the very predictable disqualification finish. I definitely groaned a bit when I saw that, but I guess it's the WWE way of continuing this story for the match at SummerSlam. I don't mind the finish that much because the match was a lot of fun to watch.
