Submitted by Jared Macmullan

Note: you can get a live recap of the show by our Bryan Alvarez, Craig Proper, and Vincent Q. Verhei here.

Balor and Bayley shirts everywhere. Probably 90% males in their 20’s-40’s, 10% girlfriends and kids.

– No Way Jose vs Murphy

No Way Jose wins with his finish. Jose came out with a Russell Wilson jersey to cheers, led a “Sea-Hawks” chant. Great energy.

– Tucker Knight vs Tino Sabatelli

Sabatelli wins via pinfall. Never seen him before but he’s a good athlete for sure.

– Alexa Bliss vs Bayley

The crowd went with every move Bayley made. She picks up the win with the belly to Bayley.

– Austin Aries vs Mojo Rawley

Aries is the solid favorite but Mojo had his fans. The crowd began a “Mojo’s butt” chant which gave me a good laugh. Aries wins with a submission after a fun match.

– The Revival vs NXT Tag Team Champions American Alpha

This was match of the night. So many great sequences that felt organic. AA hit a dual ankle lock spot that got a standing ovation. Gable got another standing ovation when he hit a series of moves on Dawson that I can’t begin to describe. Awesome match.

Intermission

– William Regal addressed the crowd. That was a pleasant surprise.

– Elias Sampson vs Shinsuke Nakamura

The Paramount exploded when Nakamura did that taunt he does on the rope during his entrance. Shinsuke wins with Kinsasha in a basic, short match.

– Nia Jax vs NXT Women’s Champion Asuka

Asuka had Jax in a submission before Alexa Bliss ran in to break it up. Both Alexa and Nia attack Asuka until Bayley runs in for the save.

– Finn Balor vs NXT Champion Samoa Joe

Balor enters to many Clique and Bullet Club taunts. After a good back and forth match, Joe wins with the muscle buster.
