On the surface, it was weird Bryan turned “heel” before this match. But it all tied into the in-ring story. If you don’t know, Bryan low-blowed Styles a week before to win the WWE Title to earn the match. He acted like a smug bitch that had a “secret” the whole time. He gets his ass kicked and kicks Brock the same way to make one of the best babyface comebacks of the era. Just ace. The way he shows his face. But he doesn’t betray the questionable heel tactics he showed. He’s “turning” heel through this match. Because Brock beat the “weakness” out of him. So good.
