5/27 WWE in Knoxville: Mahal & Corbin vs. Nakamura & Zayn, Mojo vs. English, Owens vs. Styles, Tye vs. Dolph

WWE LIVE EVENT REPORT – SMACKDOWN BRAND
MAY 27, 2017
KNOXVILLE, TENN.
REPORT BY BLAKE HARRIS, PWTORCH CORRESPONDENT

(1) Breezango defeated The Colons after Fandango hit one of the Colons with a falcon arrow.

(2) Mojo Rawley defeated Aiden English with a running forearm smash to the English in the corner. English was great at getting heat from the house show crowd. English called for another opponent so we have an impromptu match.

(3) Sin Cara defeated Aiden English with a top rope senton in less than a minute.

(4) Luke Harper defeated Erick Rowan with a discus lariat.

(4) Sami Zayn & Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Jinder Mahal & Baron Corbin after Nakamura hit Corbin with the Kinshasa. Major boos for Mahal, which is quite refreshing in 2017.

(5) Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair defeated Carmella & Tamina Snuka & Natalya when Charlotte hit Natalya with a boot to the face.

(6) Tye Dillinger defeated Dolph Ziggler with a small package. This was a pretty good match that resulted in “this is awesome chants” (which, in turn, led to eye rolls from me). Ziggler was extremely ineffective as a heel. The crowd cheered him and booed Dillinger for the most part.

(7) A.J. Styles defeated Kevin Owens by DQ after Owens used a chair. Owens keeps the U.S. Title and taunts the crowd. A.J. sends the crowd home happy after a phenomenal forearm.
