16 Worst-To-Best Matches Of WWE's Summerslam Weekend
9. Roman Reigns And Dean Ambrose Defeated Bray Wyatt And Luke Harper
Dean Ambrose is the most underrated performer at present in WWE. His main job at present is to shine up his Shield buddy Roman Reigns and make the crowd believe that he's a character with depth and scope. As well, he's supposed to have great matches on a consistent basis. The same goes for Luke Harper, who takes the kind of bumps at seven feet tall that people two-feet shorter wish they could take with such balletic ease. Harper with Bray Wyatt is intended to resurrect the heat around Wyatt's presence, as since he lost to the Undertaker at WrestleMania, Wyatt's character has been that of a largely ineffective fear-mongering presence. Thus, this tag match worked for half of the participants involved. Ambrose and Reigns are beer-drinking homeboys who love to fight. Insofar as Wyatt and Harper? They're the best astronomers in wrestling right now, because they're staring at so many lights they might confuse them for stars in the sky. It's a great match, but there's potentially worrisome business emanating from it.
