Ambrose comes into the ring and sends to Rowan to the outside. Harper with a superkick to Ambrose. Cesaro with a corkscrew uppercut to Harper. Strowman gets back up and tosses the announce table away and gets on the ring apron the referee tries to hold him back. Bray Wyatt uppercuts Cesaro who’s on the second rope. Harper connects with the Clothesline to Cesaro to pickup the victory.

An extremely entertaining main event between members of The Wyatt Family and the face team of Ambrose, Cesaro and Ryback. The point of emphasis on tonight was “what will The Wyatt Family do next?” With the elimination of The Undertaker and Kane, the biggest question is who will be the other two men. It is inevitable that it will be a traditional 4-on-4 match at Survivor Series. I am absolutely okay with The Wyatt’s winning here.

I also feel like Dean Ambrose, Cesaro and Ryback need to focus attention on being themselves and not teaming with other guys. It just does not make sense for faces to ALWAYS face The Wyatt Family in 6 man tag. Singles matches are fine. Even tag team matches are alright, but there is too much repetitiveness in these matches where it might get boring to people. The right team won tonight and I am intrigued to see how two more opponents are announced for Kane and Undertaker’s team. How about some backstage segments that are more creative than smoke and dragging Kane? I want all hands on deck for creative and mysterious promos/packages/story progression.
