Mark Henry (c) vs. Daniel Bryan for the World Heavyweight Championship in a Steel Cage Match:
What I Liked:
For the first time, you got a glimpse of what Daniel Bryan could be like as a World Champion. The injury of Henry does not really make him look weak as he is beaten up by a much smaller opponent. Bryan's aggression and intensity in the cage was nice to see, even though he did not use the cage as a weapon as much. Bryan is all about submission, using his body, and he did well staying in his specific character. Henry winning was the right call, as he still was able to keep up with Bryan. Two completely different styles, but it came off rather well.
What I Disliked:
Why didn't The Big Show come out at the end of the night to show him attack Henry once again? This adds a new dimension of the feud, adding another wrinkle and piece to it. The World's Strongest Slam looked okay, but I felt like they could have ended it on a better note. Timing was executed well, but Henry and Bryan can only have a few matches together before it becomes repetitive. They are limited in what they can do together, but not as much as Henry and Show. The difference is that Henry and Show can do more "big spots," and rely on that to carry their matches.
