Submitted by reader Jeffrey Bulger
– SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day defeated The Usos and Breezango to retain their titles
This was mostly a comedy match with lots of stalling and taunts. There was a huge pop at one point when Tyler Breeze lifted Big E for a suplex after a failed attempt, but New Day retained after hitting the Midnight Hour on one of the Usos.
– Rusev defeated Chad Gable
There were “USA,” “we want Lana,” and “Rusev sucks” chants during this. Rusev was largely in control of it until Gable made a comeback. Gable hit two impressive belly-to-belly suplexes, but Rusev won with a superkick and the Accolade.
– Luke Harper & The Hype Bros defeated Erick Rowan & The Ascension
Harper’s entrance got a huge pop and he got the pin on Viktor after hitting a discus lariat.
– Sami Zayn defeated Mike Kanellis
Zayn got a good reaction, though Kanellis didn’t get much of a response. Maria wasn’t with him there.
The match didn’t have any heat for most of it. Kanellis did lots of headlocks, then Zayn eventually got the crowd going with an arm drag into an armbar. He later took control and hit a tornado DDT and the Helluva Kick for the victory.
Kanellis got on the mic after, screaming “No!” as the crowd shouted “Yes!” He demanded another match and Sin Cara came out.
– Sin Cara defeated Mike Kanellis
Kanellis did a sneak attack to start, but Sin Cara took over and won with a frog splash in about two minutes.
– United States Champion AJ Styles defeated Baron Corbin, Kevin Owens, and Tye Dillinger to retain his title
Owens taunted a Sami Zayn cosplayer and his son in the front row a few times, which was pretty funny. Styles was crazy over.
Styles spent most of the match on the floor while the heels worked over Dillinger in the ring. There was a fun spot later where everyone was down after superkicks and a Pele kick from Styles. The finish came when Styles pinned Corbin after a Phenomenal Forearm. Styles posed with the belt after while Corbin laid in the ring.
– Charlotte Flair, Naomi & Becky Lynch defeated SmackDown Women’s Champion Natalya, Lana & Carmella (w/ James Ellsworth)
The crowd was really into this one and Carmella’s screeching got a lot of heat. Charlotte ended up getting the hot tag and running wild on the heels. She got the win for her team by submitting Lana with the Figure Eight.
– Bobby Roode defeated Dolph Ziggler
Ziggler came out to cut a promo before this started. He acted like a face, but then said he doesn’t give a damn about us and that we turned our backs on him. He said he’s the best ever and no one can do what he does. He then claimed he’s the best thing in wrestling, sports entertainment, WWE, and Boise. Roode came out for the match after that.
There were chants for Roode immediately. For the finish, Ziggler went for a superkick until Roode cut him off and won with the Glorious DDT.
– WWE Champion Jinder Mahal (w/ The Singh Brothers) defeated Shinsuke Nakamura to retain his title
The Singhs introduce Mahal before the match and got massive heat. Mahal said Boise is disrespectful and we should respect him. He did his usual promo as a “USA” chant broke out. Before he could speak in Punjabi, Nakamura’s music hit.
There were massive chants for Nakamura. The Singhs attacked him at one point when the referee wasn’t looking. Nakamura later hit a big kick off of the top to set up for the Kinshasa, but the Singhs interfered and Mahal retained with the Khallas.
