The show opened with Enzo Amore & Big Cass (with Carmella) against The Ascension. The fans did not really know Enzo’s pre-match spiel, so they were pretty silent during their intro aside from the “Sawft” line by Cass.

(1) Enzo Amore & Big Cass (w/Carmella) beat The Ascension (Konnor & Viktor). Pretty decent match between the four, but I don’t think many people knew who Amore & Cass were. The heels got the heat on Enzo and he eventually made a tag to Cass. The finish saw Amore hit a splash onto Viktor for the win.

Next was Miz vs. A.J. Styles. Major heat for Miz, who got on the mic and complained about Styles breaking his tooth earlier this week. Styles then came out to a massive pop.

(2) A.J. Styles beat The Miz. Before they locked up, there are huge “A.J. Styles” chant and a light “This is Awesome” chant. Pretty good stuff here, with Miz hitting the Skullcrushing Finale and Styles kicking out. Styles teased the Clash, but Miz broke out. The finish was Styles locking on the Calf Crusher for the win.

Next was Rusev against Curtis Axel. Lana worked the crowd by bashing Abbotsford and saying how everyone should be so grateful to see herself and Rusev. This brought out Axel (by himself) to not much reaction. Axel said he will kick Rusev’s ass and then have Lana to himself. He shook his hips like Rick Rude.

(3) Rusev (w/Lana) beat Curtis Axel via submission. A short match followed, with Lana distracting Axel and it leading to the superkick and Accolade. Rusev then got on the mic and asked for competition. This brought out Jack Swagger…

(4) Jack Swagger beat Rusev (w/Lana). Another short match followed that saw Swagger roll up Rusev in a few minutes.

(5) Ryback & The Usos beat WWE tag champions New Day (Big E. & Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) in a six-man tag match. Huge reaction for New Day, who came out first and then had to return to the back because their smoke pyro didnt go off. Light boos for the Usos, but Ryback was over. He wore new tights that say “Big Guy” and now wrestles wearing a weight belt. A fun match followed, with Ryback eventually catching Woods and hitting the Shell-shock for the win.

(6) Lucha Dragons (U.S. champion Kalisto & Sin Cara) beat Los Matadores (Diego & Fernando). Dragons come out to a decent reaction, while the Matadores come out to crickets. They then establish themselves as heels by taking a Lucha Dragons shirt and wiping their nose/underarm and ass with it. Pretty pedestrian match, with the finish seeing Sin Cara hit one of the Matadores with a swanton.

(7) Divas champion Charlotte beat Becky Lynch to retain the Divas Title. Both women got decent reactions, and the match had some decent spots, including Lynch apply an armbar to Charlotte, who turned it into a powerbomb. Lynch reversed the Figure-eight, but moments later Charlotte rolled her up with the tights to win.

The Main Event was Roman Reigns vs. Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio was over; he interacted a lot with the crowd. He was behaving like a face to the males over 13. Good reaction for Reigns, with kids and women behind him.

(8) Roman Reigns beat Alberto Del Rio. Solid match, but a little long. Reigns eventually won after fighting out of the armbar twice. Reigns hit a spear to win.

T-shirts for sale included New Day, John Cena, Reigns, Dolph Ziggler, Styles, Dean Ambrose, and Lucha Dragons. Interesting they had no Kevin Owens items for sale.
