(One big happy family)
As expected, the Wyatts and the Shield ended up bickering, unable to work together, and when they did work together, it was only in scrambled brawls. Sure, they tagged each other here and there (usually by smacking the other guy while he was distracted), but they didn't collaborate in any big double-team attacks, which is too bad. Half of them are giants and could easily perform any double-team move they imagined, so they should've taken advantage of the grouping.
(One of few moments the Wyatts and Shield were in-ring together)
The match was just okay. Luke Harper of the Wyatts delivered an awesome running sit-down powerbomb to Daniel Bryan, a move that could easily be Harper's second finisher. Unfortunately, the more spectacular attacks were performed by the "good guy group" of Punk, Bryan, the Rhodes Brothers & the Usos. The bad guys generally performed holds and did the whole "we're-gonna-trap-you-in-our-corner" thing. CM Punk's hot tag was pretty cool, though. He dismantled the Shield on his own, even delivering this sweet double-DDT/neckbreaker thingy on Rollins and Ambrose.

(Step 2: Boom!)
Punk ended up pinning Ambrose, which is fine I guess. Punk could realistically defeat any member of the Shield, so at least it wasn't an Uso making Bray Wyatt tap out or something.
So the Wyatt/Shield experience was kind of lame, but they've got plenty of time to group, fight, or whatever. I'd like to think it was just another taste of what's to come. At this point I'm thinking a 3-on-3 fight is in the works, because after this I can't see them cooperating, but we'll see what happens in the coming weeks.
Anyway, right after the match, a brawl broke out and the Real Americans joined the fray.
Oh, and Rey Mysterio returned.
But I'll get into that some other time.
Until next time, have a nice day, and don't be a jabroni!
