Title This: WWE Payback Reaction

The Shield defeated Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan to retain the WWE Tag Team Championships

The Shield

Reaction: I wondered what was going to happen in this match because you knew Bryan and Orton were not going to walk away with the titles. I really wanted Orton to take the loss here, but it was Daniel Bryan. That does not shock me. Actually, I predicted that very thing to happen in an editorial yesterday. It confuses me because Bryan gets the hot tag, which tells me WWE knows that he is more over than Orton. The house of fire he brings when the tag happens is magical. He hits multiple dropkicks and flying moves to really get the crowd going. He would accidentally hit Orton on the outside, which would end up being a factor in their loss. The end comes Rollins pins Bryan after tossing Orton to the outside. It was an exciting match to watch, but it was not as good as the previous few. They do not need to be better, just different. Orton needed to take the loss, needed to be the weak link. Instead, the best wrestler took it again.

Grade: B-
