Submitted by reader Jon Bell from Raw’s house show in Calgary, Alberta, Canada last night
– Finn Balor & Karl Anderson (w/ Luke Gallows) defeated Curtis Axel & Bo Dallas
There were tons of “Too Sweet” chants and a noticeable number of “Woop Woop” ones. At the end of a strong match, Balor got the win by hitting the Coup de Grace on Axel.
– Hideo Itami defeated TJP
Itami dabbed at TJP, which led to the biggest reaction of the match. He did it again after pinning TJP with a modified GTS.
– The Revival defeated Heath Slater & Rhyno
The fans chanted for the babyfaces a lot. While the referee was distracted, Scott Dawson punched Slater in the face and Dash Wilder rolled him up for the pin.
– Sasha Banks & Mickie James defeated Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville
Banks submitted Rose with the Banks Statement.
– Elias came out and got a mixed reaction, though it was mostly boos. He sang a song about how it was cold outside and people were dumb to live in Calgary. That got a mixture of laughs and boos.
Braun Strowman interrupted him to a huge pop.
– Braun Strowman defeated Elias
There were several “Get these hands” chants for Strowman. He hit a running powerslam for the finish, then obliged when the crowd asked him to do it one more time.
Strowman ripped off his shirt and gave it to a child at ringside. Everyone loved Strowman.
– Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss defeated Bayley and Nia Jax in a triple threat match to retain her title.
Bayley got a smaller than expected pop, including some boos mixed in. Jax was the most over of the three.
Not much happened in the match. Jax hit a Samoan drop on Bayley, but Bliss ran in to steal the pin. Jax hit another Samoan drop on Bayley after.
– Matt Hardy defeated Bray Wyatt
Hardy got a huge pop and sang the “Obsolete” song to Wyatt. He hit a Twist of Fate for the victory.
– Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins defeated Raw Tag Team Champions Cesaro & Sheamus by DQ
This was the best match of the night. Rollins received the biggest pop of anyone on the show, though Reigns got a lot of boos. There was a spot that got a huge reaction where Cesaro and Sheamus were getting in the referee’s face, so he shoved both of them away and made a fist at Sheamus.
Cesaro hit Reigns with a steel chair for the disqualification. To end the show, Rollins hit the Curb Stomp on Sheamus and Reigns speared Cesaro.

– United States Champion Bobby Roode defeated Jinder Mahal and Baron Corbin in a triple threat match to retain his title
The dynamic of this felt like a handicap match with Roode going against two heels.

They had a flat match that the crowd wasn’t really into.
– The New Day defeated Primo & Mike Kanellis
– SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair defeated Becky Lynch, Natalya, Lana, and Carmella in a fatal five-way match to retain her title
This was very short. Lana and Carmella’s work looked sloppy in some spots.

Harper & Rowan won in a squash.
– Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Dolph Ziggler
They had a pretty good back-and-forth match.
– WWE Champion AJ Styles defeated Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in a triple threat match to retain his title
Styles received the biggest pop of the night. There was a weird finish where the ref counted the pin even though Owens broke it up.
Owens cut a promo following the match, putting over Styles and shaking his hand. Owens tried to attack, but Styles hit him with the Styles Clash.
