WWE European Tour results

Birmingham, England
Report by Paul Turrall, PWTorch reader

(1) Diego of Los Matadores beat Jack Swagger after a switcheroo with Fernando. Zeb Colter cut a heel promo and there was lots of the usual comedy with El Torito.

(2) Dean Ambrose retained the U.S. Title over Dolph Ziggler and Big E. Langston in a triple threat match. Great match with major support for the faces.

(3) Natalya beat Aksana via submission with the Sharpshooter.

(4) Kofi Kingston beat The Miz. Both started as faces, but Miz turned during the match and took a lot of heat.

(5) WWE tag champions Goldust & Cody Rhodes retained the WWE Tag Titles over The Shield. A lot of love for Goldie!

Santino beat Fandango in a dance-off. Damien Sandow came down, beat him up, then started his match against Zack Ryder.

(6) Damien Sandow beat Zack Ryder after a thumb in the eye.

(7) WWE champion Randy Orton beat Big Show to retain the WWE Title after Kane appeared on the ramp for the distraction. First of all, Daniel Bryan was scheduled to be in the match and when it became apparent he wasn't here the crowd were pissed. Loud booing, lots of "Daniel Bryan" chants, etc. About two minutes in, Orton grabbed the mic and said Bryan wasn't here to even more boos. I felt pretty bad for Show as it was clear people were upset he was in the match ahead of Bryan.

Overall, the match was fairly short and the crowd vented their anger afterward with more boos and "Daniel Bryan" chants. Show got on the mic at the end and acknowledged we all wanted Bryan, but it did little to appease the crowd.
