Jey Uso vs. Roman Reigns (Tribal Combat) for the WWE and Universal Championship, from WWE SummerSlam 2023

I can’t say these two didn’t put in effort—putting on a match that’s over half an hour long requires all accusations of laziness be left at the door. As a fan of these two, however, I had hoped they would keep this one short as they lack the ingenuity and audience rapport to keep the viewer captivated for that long. What we got was a plodding affair in which folks took nasty bumps to keep the audience awake and ended on a limp note, the sort of odd plot twist both inexplicable and expected of wrestling. Boring and stupid.
