Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton ended up being the sole survivors of the match, successfully warding off a resurgent Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns thanks to the surprising-but-not-really interference of Luke Harper. Orton and Wyatt continue to have far better chemistry as a team than as opponents, with the former in particular being more interesting than he has been in a long time.

The result of the match also continues the dominance of The Wyatt Family over The Shield. The middle of the match saw a strangely underwhelming Shield reunion, but it wasn't enough to stop a member of the trio falling prey to an eventual Sister Abigail. Whilst we can't rewind the clock and put The Shield vs. The Wyatt Family on the WrestleMania XXX card, it does keep things interesting going forward.

It also gives us another month of debating whether the company will finally give Bray Wyatt the ball or not, before Orton RKOs it out of his hands on SmackDown Live.
