WWE Belfast, Northern Ireland, live results: Finn Balor vs. Bray Wyatt


Submitted by reader Jonathan Carroll
– Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose defeated The Miz to retain his title
This was a standard match. Maryse tried to distract Ambrose, but he moved out of the way when Miz charged at him. The Miz stopped just before hitting Maryse but was hit with Dirty Deeds when he turned around to allow Ambrose to pick up the win.
– Bayley, Sasha Banks & Mickie James defeated Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss, Emma & Nia Jax
Bayley hit the Bayley-to-Belly on Emma and got the pin. This was uneventful.
– WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville defeated Austin Aries to retain his title
Both were on offense for an equal amount of time. Neville did a lot of crowd taunting, which got him a lot of boos. They were in the corner when Neville lifted up Aries and dropped him with his legs on each side of the ropes. Neville then kicked the rope and pinned Aries after he fell to the ring.
– Raw Tag Team Champions The Hardys defeated Cesaro & Sheamus, Enzo Amore & Big Cass, and Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson to retain their titles
This was another standard match; nothing we haven’t seen in recent weeks. Matt delivered a Twist of Fate on Sheamus before Jeff followed up with a Swanton Bomb. Matt got the pin on Sheamus to retain. There were a lot of “Delete” and “Brother Nero” chants.
– Jordan Devlin vs. Tucker ended in a no contest
Braun Strowman came out and destroyed both guys within a few minutes. He got on the mic and said Roman Reigns wasn’t here because of what happened at Payback. Strowman demanded that the ref raise his hand since they couldn’t have a match. Before that could happen, Reigns came out.
They had a back-and-forth brawl that ended with Reigns spearing Strowman through a table. The crowd’s reaction to Reigns was slightly more on the positive side, but boos were audible and there were “Thank you Strowman” chants at times. Both guys were also heavily bandaged in their upper bodies.
– The Golden Truth, Heath Slater & Rhyno defeated Curt Hawkins, Titus O’Neil, Bo Dallas & Curtis Axel
Hawkins took the pin.
– Seth Rollins defeated Samoa Joe
This was similar to what they’ve done previously. Joe continued to target the knee of Rollins, but he wasn’t selling it as hard as he has done in the past. Rollins won after hitting his new finisher.
– Finn Balor defeated Bray Wyatt
Both guys got a good pop, but Wyatt was getting boos after some crowd taunting mid-match. Wyatt hit Balor with Sister Abigail around 10 minutes in, though Balor kicked out. Balor ended up winning after hitting the Coup de Grace.
