WWE Calgary live results: Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz


Submitted by Scott Willoughby
– SmackDown Tag Team Champions Cesaro & Sheamus defeated The New Day (Big E & Kofi Kingston) to retain their titles
Sheamus superkicked a distracted Big E for the pin.
– Jeff Hardy came out, but he was jumped by Samoa Joe on the ramp. Joe put him in the Coquina Clutch and cut a promo, saying “Looks like Jeff Hardy is unconscious on the floor again…remember to drink responsibly.”
– Charlotte Flair defeated Asuka
Charlotte cut a promo to drowning Becky Lynch chants from the crowd and called out Asuka.
Charlotte worked slightly heelish in working Asuka’s leg. They had a long match where each broke out of each other’s submissions and there were several near falls. Asuka got her knees up on a moonsault and was favoring her leg. Charlotte reversed a roll-up for the pin. I thought this was the match of the night.
– Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson & Shelton Benjamin defeated The Colons & Andrade “Cien” Almas (w/ Zelina Vega)
Gallows and Anderson hit the Magic Killer for the win.
– Jeff Hardy defeated Samoa Joe
Hardy came out still selling his neck from earlier. Hardy jumped Joe on his way to the ring and got the early advantage.
They had a back-and-forth match. Joe laid out Hardy and grabbed a six pack of beer and the mic from under the ring and toasted Hardy. Joe picked up Hardy, took a drink of beer, and Hardy reversed into a Twist of Fate — sending beer everywhere. Hardy pinned Joe for the win.
– Lana defeated Billie Kay (w/ Peyton Royce)
Royce then challenged Lana after.
– Lana defeated Peyton Royce (w/ Billie Kay)
Lana got the win with a quick roll-up.
– Rusev defeated United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura by DQ
Nakamura avoided fighting for the first several minutes and tried to leave with the title during the middle of the match. He low blowed Rusev for the disqualification.
Nakamura set up for the Kinshasa after as Rusev was getting up, but Rusev hit the Machka Kick and stood tall holding Nakamura’s US title belt.
– WWE Champion Daniel Bryan defeated The Miz to retain his title
Bryan berated the crowd and ripped up someone’s “I love beef” sign. He told the crowd they may not have heard — but the Yes Movement is dead. Miz said he will take it over and started a “Yes” chant. Miz asked to be introduced as “from Calgary Canada, the Calgary Kid.” Miz was completely over with the crowd and started numerous “Yes” chants during the match. The crowd gave him a “Miz is awesome” chant.
After a ref bump, Bryan hit Miz with the WWE Championship belt and the recovered referee counted the pin for Bryan to retain.
Bryan grabbed the mic after and said he was going to knee Miz in the face, but Miz reversed and hit the Skull Crushing Finale. Miz cut a very babyface promo to end the show.
