Christian def. Fandango

Christian and Fandango put everything on the line at WWE Money in the Bank in an effort to secure an opportunity for the WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championships, respectively. The following night on Raw, both Superstars squared off against the Money in the Bank winners in singles competition. Fandango was narrowly defeated by WWE Championship contract Money in the Bank winner Randy Orton, while Christian defeated World Heavyweight Championship contract  Money in the Bank winner Damien Sandow.

Both ring warriors were poised to compete at the top of their games, with Christian looking to continue his impressive momentum since his return, and Fandango seeking yet another victory against an experienced veteran.

Confident, the dancing Superstar spent a great deal of time strutting and taunting his foe early on, enraging Captain Charisma. The former World Heavyweight Champion’s offense was relentless, but with Summer Rae screaming words of encouragement, Fandango used his fleet-footed agility to stay competitive.

With the match going in his favor, Fandango sustained his dance-inspired taunts, rather than continuing to mount offensive strikes on his opponent. As Christian battled back into the contest, the WWE Universe erupted as both Superstars countered nearly every high-impact maneuver executed by the other. With the match deteriorating into a classic struggle of experience against youth, once Fandango remarkably blocked the Spear, it seemed as though he would secure the win. However, Captain Charisma once again countered and pinned Fandango.

The Wyatt family then made their WWE Main Event debut. First attacking Justin Gabriel, the Wyatts went on to direct their attention at Mahal and McIntyre. As Heath Slater tried to escape, he realized there was no way around Bray Wyatt’s rocking chair, and he, too, felt their wrath.
