The Chicago crowd felt every bump and blow Rollins inflicted on Rollins and were awestruck when Rhodes withstood Rollins’ brutal assaults and nailed him with a Pedigree, three Cross Rhodes and a sledgehammer shot to pull out an unlikely, but incredibly dramatic victory. You could sense collective jaws dropping as fans witnessed the severe state of ‘The American Nightmare’s’ injury by the eye watering bruising covering his right pectoral region and arm.

Anarchy In The Arena was never dull but a five star classic seems like a stretch.Ī slew of superkicks and the BTE trigger earned the Bucks the win in their hometown. However, this 2022 iteration was unfortunately lacking in transitions and logic.

It was chaotic, full of insane spots and almost impossible to follow. That’s a pretty accurate description of this 10 man tag team match-up.
