Long Island, N.Y. at Nassau Coliseum
Report by Mike Omansky, PWTorch correspodent


Very well done show with an excellent main event of John Cena. Bray Wyatt. Nor eturn date was announced.

(1) Dolph Ziggler beat Alberto Del Rio in 18:00. First-rate opener that Ziggler won with Zig-Zag. Non-stop action and loads of kicks from Del Rio. (***)

(2) IC champion Wade Barrett beat Rob Van Dam and Kofi Kingston in a three-way match to retain the Intercontinental Title. Barrett pinned Kingston. The finish: RVD came off the top rope onto Kingston, but lost his balance, so Barrett tossed him out of the ring and covered for a pin. Good match.The faces initially worked together, but that disintegrated when Kingston attempted a roll-up. (*1/2)

(3) Santino & Divas champion Paige & Emma beat Fandango & Layla & Alicia Fox in a six-person tag match. Paige pinned Fox following a neckbreaker. Some comedy with Santino and Fandango. The match was good for what it was. (*)

(4) Rusev beat Big E. via submission to The Accolade Camel Clutch. About ten minutes of a “big man” match, with a few near falls for Big E. However, ultimately it was Russev with a flying kick and pouncing on E. for a clean submission. Not at all exciting, and this match needs work, but was watchable. (*)

(5) WWE tag champs The Usos beat Erick Rowan & Luke Harper to retain the Tag Titles. Usos won with a roll-up on Harper following all four wrestlers fighting in the ring. Decent match. (*1/2)

Adam Rose, accompanied by his entourage including the bunny, and The Miz had a “dance off." Fans allegedly voted 51-49 percent for a dance-off, as opposed to a match. Miz came out to almost no crowd reaction, while fans seemed to like the Rose party entrance. Miz went first with a dramatic dance, then attacked Rose while he was starting a party dance. Rose recovered, threw Miz out of the ring, and his group came back to dance him out to his music.

(6) Rhodes Bros. (Goldust & Stardust) beat Curtis Axel & Ryback when Stardust pinned Axel with Cross Rhodes. Good match with all four working. (**)

(7) John Cena beat Bray Wyatt in a Street Fight. The excellent main event went 33 minutes and had loads of twists and turns. Cena got a mixed reaction, but the crowd was in his favor about 60/40. Wyatt got mostly a face reaction for his entrance. Bray dominated most of the match; not much offense by Cena. About 10 minutes in, as Cena was recovering from a beating and about to go on offense, the two Wyatts charged the ring and double-teamed him. This gave Bray a few nearfalls. The Usos then charged in, battled the Wyatts, and the four went back to the dressing room.

In the second-half of the match, Bray and Cena each introduced large weapons - a table, the stairs, and a rail. At one point, they brawled around the arena for a few minutes, and Wyatt threw steps at Cena. At about 28:00, both men were down from a double clothesline; Kane’s music hit, and he came in. He chokeslammed Cena, put Bray on him, but Cena kicked out at two. When Kane tried to attack Cena again, Cena hit Kane with the AA. The match was back to one-on-one, then Bray brought in a second table, but Cena recovered, and put Bray through the table with the AA for a pin. Very impressive main event. (***1/2)
