Bray Wyatt vs. Chris Jericho

WWE Battleground 2014

Winner: Chris Jericho!

Best Moments/Highlights: Jericho and Bray began the match with an intense lock-up. Bray seemed to enjoy his intense start with Y2J. Bray soon ran straight at Jericho and put him into the corner with some stiff punches. Jericho chopped Bray for a bit before Bray powered Y2J back to the ring corner. Jericho soon landed his back elbow into Bray after throwing him into the ropes. Jericho laid in a few more chops on Bray, but Bray made his comeback by clotheslining Jericho to the mat. Bray continued punishing Jericho with some more strikes, but Jericho almost locked in his Walls of Jericho out of nowhere. A distraction from Rowan led to Jericho catching another punch to the mush from Bray. Jericho soon regained his strength, dropkicked Bray out of the ring and then splashed the entire Wyatt Family on the outside of the ring. Harper grabbed Jericho’s feet, which the ref saw. Both Rowan and Harper were soon ejected from the rest of the match. Bray caught Jericho off guard by shoving him off the ring apron into a unsuspecting cameraman. Bray returned his foe into the ring for some more damage. Jericho caught Bray off he top rope with a double axe handle, but this didn’t keep Bray down for long. Bray landed his spinning side slam on Jericho after a bit of a struggle. Bray then looked to land his Running Senton, but Jericho countered by getting his knees up at the last second. Jericho then hit a nice Enzuguri on Bray, but only managed to get a 2-count. Jericho got himself to the top rope, but Bray followed him up and began fighting him off. Bray managed to drop Jericho with a chin breaker like maneuver. Bray looked to hit his running splash into Jericho in the corner, but Jericho got his feet up for the counter. Jericho hit his Facebuster on Bray and then looked to finish him with the Lionsault. Bray then got his knees up and then entered his creepy Exorcist walk. Bray got Jericho up for his Uranage slam and followed it up with a running body splash into the corner. Bray’s trash talk to a weakened Jericho was all for naught, as Y2J grabbed Bray by his pants and shoved his head into the ring post. Bray escaped to the ring apron to get his breath back, but Y2J looked to land his Springboard Dropkick. Jericho instead landed on his feet next to Bray, but Bray caught him with a DDT on the ring apron. Bray only managed to grab a 2-count, though. Bray looked to land his Sister Abigail, but Jericho almost locked him in the Walls of Jericho. Bray fought out of it though and launched himself at Jericho again. Y2J kicked out of another 2-count. Then out of nowhere, Jericho grabbed the win after hitting a sudden Code Breaker.

Best Moments/Highlights: Everyone ganged up on The Great Khali to begin the match. Xavier Woods and Zach Ryder ended up getting eliminated by Khali anyway. After catching a Brogue Kick from Sheamus, Kahli got eliminated by by Sheamus and Cesaro. Sin Cara soon got thrown over the top rope. At one point, Ziggler almost got thrown out early after Cara’s exit. The action continued as every participant fought for the title. Soon, R-Truth and Curtis Axel got eliminated. Sandow (who was wearing the type of attire most people wear for a day at the beach) got eliminated. Ryback showed off his amazing prowess by flinging Diego out of the ring. Ryback began squaring off with Sheamus, but got himself launched over the top rope by a Brogue Kick. Suddenly, The Miz finally hopped into the ring and tried to get rid of Sheamus. Sheamus fought him off, though. After Titus O’Neil managed to power down Sheamus, Bo Dallas kneed Titus in the back for an elimination. In an amazing moment, Kofi pulled himself back into the ring while holding onto Cesaro while on the ring apron.

Kofi somehow avoided elimination again by falling onto Big E’s shoulders. Cesaro suplexed him back into the ring and then finally got rid of him by suplexing him out of it. Out of nowhere, Heath Slater eliminated Cesaro. He didn’t get to celebrate long, though. Sheamus kicked him right out of the ring. Bo Dallas soon got kicked out of the ring by a recovered Ziggler. It then came down to Ziggler and Sheamus. A back and forth battle ensued between both men that saw both men avoid close calls. Ziggler landed a Superkick on Sheamus for the final elimination…or so we thought. The Miz ran back from under the ring and threw Ziggler over the top rope to become the last man standing.
