WWE Championship Match: Roman Reigns Pins Dean Ambrose
Ambrose will get a bit of time to rest during The Undertaker's match, but it'll be clear as he comes to the ring for the main event that's he's far from 100 percent - and far from being as well-preserved as Roman Reigns. Nevertheless, he'll come down to the ring in a frenzy, pacing during introductions so as to keep himself psyched for his shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. When the bell rings, he'll turn his attention to his best friend, and the two will slap hands before things get underway. Reigns will dominate the majority of the bout, but Ambrose will do everything short of breaking the rules to hang in there. Eventually, Reigns will attempt the Superman punch, but Ambrose will duck the move and hook Reigns for the Dirty Deeds. Before he can deliver the hold, though, Reigns will drive Ambrose into the corner, crushing him and an ill-placed referee. Ambrose will keep his grip on Reigns, pull him out of the corner, and hit the Dirty Deeds, forcing Triple H to enter the ring as a surrogate referee. He'll begin the count, but stop after two and smile at "The Lunatic Fringe." Ambrose will recognize that HHH is playing him and he'll attack "The Game", but after knocking him out of the ring, he'll turn around into a Spear. Triple H will run back in the ring to make the count as Reigns becomes the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. After the bout, Reigns and Triple H will come face to face... and shake hands. Ambrose will slowly get to his feet, only to take another Spear. Stephanie McMahon will present Reigns with the WWE Title, and the new Authority will celebrate in the ring to close the show.
