Saint John, N.B., Canada
Report by Rich Bernier, PWTorch correspondent
(1) Lucha Dragons & Fandango beat Los Matadors (w/El Torito) & Adam Rose (w/Rosa Mendes). Fun opener. Kalisto got a big pop when he tagged in for the first time and was constantly moving, even when he was standing outside of the ring. Fandango pinned Rose.

(2) R-Truth beat Stardust. Okay match. Both guys were surprisingly over.

(3) Natalya & Emma beat Cameron & Summer Rae. Before the show started, the crowd was told to vote on a Twitter poll if they wanted a Divas tag or singles match. Natalya made Summer Rae tap to the Sharpshooter, which got a huge pop.

(4) Dolph Ziggler beat Sheamus in a Saint John Street Fight. This was perhaps the best WWF/WWE house show match I'd ever seen. There were several nearfalls that had me convinced the match was over. Both guys went through tables, then Ziggler finally put Sheamus away after the Zig-Zag. Huge pop for Ziggler winning and a lot of people stood for both guys in the end.

They showed the Connor video, now featuring Ultimate Warrior footage (and a lot of quotes from Warrior in regards to the Warrior award, all taken out of context, of course).

(5) Zack Ryder beat Curtis Axel. Axel is managing to show a lot of personality now with the new gimmick. This match took place after intermission, so Axel demanded that everyone still at the concession stand to get back to their seats. He also called us St. Johns, Newfoundland in a funny bit. Decent match, somewhat surprised that Ryder won.

(6) Kane beat Jack Swagger. Swagger did a lot to create movement. Kane won with the chokeslam, which got a surprising pop.

(7) Roman Reigns beat WWE World Hvt. champion Seth Rollins via DQ due to interference by Kane; Rollins retained the WWE World Title. Second best match of the night. When Seth came out, he had perhaps the most obnoxious, cocky grin I have ever seen. He is just a tremendous heel. Reigns actually busted out some new moves. Interesting to note that Rollins was in command for much of the match, with Reigns wrestling more like the smaller underdog, even though he is obviously the bigger man. He even took a Bucklebomb from Rollins. In the end, he did have Seth beaten, but Kane broke up the three count and Rollins was DQd. There were some boos for Reigns, but mainly cheers.

All in all, a very good house show. All the floor seats seemed to be filled, as was most of the lower bowl.

- Biggest Pops: Ziggler, Reigns, The Sharpshooter, pretty much everyone when their music started, and Kane hitting the chokeslam.

- Biggest Heel Heat: Rollins, Sheamus.
