The Tribal Chief secured victory after a intense 30-minute clash with his longtime rival. The brutal encounter featured CM Punk bloodied and hurled through the Spanish announce table. Both competitors unleashed their signature finishers in a seesaw battle. Punk landed his GTS, but Reigns rolled his shoulders up.
