Knoxville, Tenn.
Report by PWTorch reader Blake Harris

(1) Cesaro beat Kane at 7:13 with a cradle-type move; Kane's shoulders were not even down. Kane received somewhat of babyface pop which isn't surprising since he has a home and an insurance business in the area. Cesaro was definitely more over with the adult male demographic.

Adam Rose interrupted Lilian Garcia's announcement of the next contest and repeatedly told everyone to "hush!" He then cut a heel promo and introduced his new tag team partner, The Miz. During the promo, the crowd responded with "hush" chants of their own. He succeeded in getting pretty good heat. I'm not sure if this is something they're experimenting with for TV or not, but Miz cuts a GREAT heel promo, and this one got a ton of boos.

(2) Macho Mandow & Axelmania beat The Miz & Adam Rose at 8:30 following a big boot and leg drop by Axel on Rose.

(3) Jack Swagger beat Fandango via submission with the Patriot Lock at 7:52.

(4) Roman Reigns beat Bray Wyatt at 15:18 with a school-boy roll-up following the spider walk theatrics by Bray. Reigns avoided a post-match attack from Bray by ducking a chair shot and hitting a big right hand. This was a half-way decent match with a surprising finish.

(5) Natalya won a Divas Battle Royal at 6:45. Also in the match with Natalya were Emma, Cameron, Layla, Summer Rae, and Alicia Fox. She was the only clear-cut babyface in the match. This was an absolute mess.

(6) Lucha Dragons (Kalisto & Sin Cara) beat The Ascension (Konnor & Viktor) at 8:38. Kalisto hit the Salida del Sol and Sin Cara followed with a Senton Bomb for the 1-2-3.

(7) WWE World Hvt. champion Seth Rollins beat Dean Ambrose in a Street Fight to retain the WWE World Hvt. Championship at 23:45. This was a great match with lots of back and forth action and nearfalls. The match had a couple of table spots with Seth powerbombing Ambrose through one set up in the corner. Dean got his table spot in via top-rope elbow. Bray Wyatt interfered by hitting Sister Abigail on Ambrose leading to a pinfall win by Rollins.

Post-match, Reigns saved Ambrose from a beat down to send the house show crowd home happy.
