The Wyatt Family vs. The Shield
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPQhu7BF0es This will be a collision and possibly a bloodletting (the hard way) of biblical proportions between The Wyatt Family and The Shield. In one of the most anticipated matches of the evening, expect this one to be ponderous, ugly, and highly entertaining as the audience goes nuts for the sheer brutality of this battle. It reminds me of those classic '80s NWA matches between the heel teams of The Four Horsemen and The Midnight Express, where the fans decided who were the lesser of two evils, and who to cheer. "The Hounds of Justice" will be fierce and likely dominate the early minutes of the match as The Wyatt Family size up their opponents before delivering a flurry of double-teaming and underhandedness of their own. Look for Erick Harper and Luke Rowan to lay a beating on Seth Rollins before he valiantly fights back with a series of forearms, kicks, and a picture perfect enzuigiri. Just imagine the kind of matches these six could have had in ECW, with U.S. Champ Dean Ambrose being a former two-time CZW Heavyweight Champion, and no stranger to all-out bloody brawls that spill into the crowd. But it will be Roman Reigns who shines in this one with his strength, speed, and cat-like agility, overpowering Bray Wyatt, Rowan and Harper with vertical suplexes, Samoan drops, and his dazzling Superman punch, to the delight of fans. The Wyatts are masters at cutting the ring in half, though, and will wear down The Shield one by one -- both physically and psychologically -- until Bray Wyatt hits a quick and sickening Sister Abigail on Reigns, preceded by a kiss to the forehead. After Sunday, dissention in the ranks of The Shield will no longer be speculative, as Ambrose walks away, leaving Reigns alone flat on his back in the middle of the ring, and Rollins knocked out down on the floor at ringside after a vicious chair shot from Rowan. Look for a dynamic and thrilling three-way showdown between all three members of The Shield at Mania for the U.S. Heavyweight Championship. Winners: The Wyatt Family
