WWE Live Results: Mexico Tour
August 27, 2016
Puebla, Mexico
Finn Balor was scheduled to headline this tour as Universal champion, but his injury status put him on the shelf for six months. The tour did not feature a Universal Title match since a new champion will be determined Monday in Houston. Saturday’s results included…
(1) Jey Uso (w/Jimmy Uso) beat Curtis Axel.
(2) Apollo Crews beat Heath Slater.
(3) U.S. champion Rusev (w/Lana) beat Cesaro to retain the U.S. Title.
(4) WWE tag champions New Day (Big E. & Xavier Woods w/Kofi Kingston) beat The Club (Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows) to retain the WWE Tag Titles.
[Intermission]
(5) Hype Bros. (Zack Ryder & Mojo Rawley) beat Tyler Breeze & Fandango.
(6) Former NXT Women’s champion Bayley beat WWE Women’s champion Charlotte in a non-title match. This was Bayley’s main roster house show debut.
(7) Roman Reigns beat Seth Rollins in the main event.

Attendance was very poor. Lack of star power was a big problem. Ticket prices also high. Why no Mexican stars? Hopefully WWE has a better turn out in Leon, which is on the same day as AAA’s Triplemania (in Mexico City).
