WWE are cheeky f*ckers when it comes to this Roman Reigns character but everything from WrestleMania onwards has crossed over into them totally taking the f*cking p*ss.

On first Raw after the 'Show Of Shows', Reigns was promoted for a show-closing segment in which he did nothing but stick a finger in the air while Paul Heyman seemingly had his whole hand up his a*se. On SmackDown, a match with Shinsuke Nakamura was teased and dropped over seven days, and even this match got worse as result of Reigns' inclusion - a tag title unification bout was binned in favour of this stake-less six-man.

What it does do is allow for WWE to drag out these combinations to stretch both singles and tag programmes out through a summer of stadium shows. With that in mind - and on this show in particular - one of The Usos taking a pinfall in a midcard match keeps everybody in stasis.

Winners - Drew McIntyre & RK-Bro
