Report by Joel Dehnel, PWTorch contributor
This week's announcers are Michael Cole and JBL. Main Event opened with Cole introducing the audience to the show live on WWE Network.
1 -- WWE tag champion "STARDUST" CODY RHODES vs. JEY USO
Stardust ambushed Jey immediately the Jey clotheslined Stardust and dove onto him outside the the ring. Back in the ring, Stardust took control. Jey broke free from an armlock, but Stardust maintained control. Jey countered a bulldog and both men were down. Stardust ripped off Jey's shirt and stomped his chest. Jey gained momentum and hit a cross-body off the top for a two count. Stardust dominated with some back blows until Jey hit a superkick for the pin.
WINNER: Jey Uso at 4:48.
[Break]
Backstage: Tyson Kidd and Natalya were prepping for Kidd's match while Natalya gave Kidd a heartfelt message about how proud she was of him and how she loves him. Kidd gave a short thanks and walked off while Natalya noticed that Kidd wasn't even listening.
In-ring: Justin Gabriel was introduced prepping for his match.
2 -- JUSTIN GABRIEL vs. CURTIS AXEL
Both men wrestled on the ground until they collected themselves and exchanged words on their feet. Kicks and punches back and forth until Axel took control. He hit a dropkick for a short two count. Axel went for a headlock, but Gabriel pushed him to the corner. Gabriel jumped over the ropes and hit a flying elbow. They hit heads mid-ring and were both on the ground. Gabriel got to his feet and clotheslined Axel to the outside. Back in the ring, Axel attacked Gabriel's ribs and then tossed him over the top rope. Axel dragged Gabriel back into the ring and hit a running knee to the face for the pin.
WINNER: Axel at 4:42.
Announcers: Cole talked about Tyson Kidd's opponent tonight, Sami Zayn. A video package then aired highlighting Zayn's career so far.
[Break]
3 -- TYSON KIDD (w/Natalya) vs. SAMI ZAYN
Kidd got a quick takedown and taunted the crowd. Kidd then locked in a headlock in the middle of the ring. Zayn broke free and reset the match in a lock-up. Zayn hit a few armdrags, then collided with Kidd for a one count. Kidd took control in the corner and dropkicked Zayn to the outside. Kidd hit a neckbreaker on the outside, then requested a kiss from Natalya. Back in the ring, Kidd locked Zayn in the corner and hit a few strikes.
[Break]
Back from the break, Kidd had Zayn in a headlock. He landed some strikes and a shoulder block. Zayn fired back up with some clotheslines until Kidd kicked him and jumped off the top for a forward flip neckbreaker. Kidd then hit an elbow and attempted a few pins. Zayn took control and hit a cross-body for a two count. Zayn then hit a Blue Thunder Bomb for a nearfall. Both men were rolling for pins until Kidd grabbed the tights for the victory.
WINNER: Kidd at 10:35.
[Break]
Announcers: Cole and JBL back to events on Raw including Vince McMahon's appearance. A video package then aired.
[Break]
4 -- BRAY WYATT vs. SIN CARA
Wyatt took control early and threw Cara around. Cara eventually countered Bray and he flew to the outside. Cara then dove onto Bray outside. Back in the ring, Bray continued to dominate. Cara made a comeback with some kicks, but Bray continued to control. He crawled over to Cara and hit a Sister Abigail for the pin.
WINNER: Wyatt at 4:14.
FINAL THOUGHTS: Good use of the Network to showcase Wyatt's first match back. It's apparent WWE is throwing whatever they have to get people to sign up for the free month. But, it bothered me that there was no mention of Sin Cara being one-half on the NXT Tag Team champions right after they just built up Sami Zayn as one of the most dominate players in NXT. WWE continues to be inconsistent with how they present NXT in the main roster space.
