WWE Florence, SC, live results: Tye Dillinger possibly injured

Submitted by Justin Rogers

– The New Day defeated Cesaro & Sheamus

They had a long, entertaining match, with Xavier Woods struggling to make the tag to Big E.

– Shelton Benjamin defeated Tye Dillinger by countout

The referee threw up the “X” symbol after Benjamin hit a kick to Dillinger’s face on the top rope. Dillinger was walked to the back. The crowd was worried that Dillinger suffered a legitimate injury — it looked and sounded nasty.

Benjamin then grabbed the microphone and cut a promo where he dissed South Carolina. He said he would give anyone in the building the same fate he gave Dillinger.

– Rusev & Lana defeated Andrade “Cien” Almas & Zelina Vega

They had a real fun match. There was lots of chasing each other around the ring and false finishes, then it ended with a double Accolade.

– United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Jeff Hardy to retain his title

Nakamura retained by hitting a knee to the face. He got cocky after the match and came back to inflict more damage, but that soon backfired and Hardy gave him a Twist of Fate and the Swanton.

– Asuka defeated SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella by DQ

The IIconics interfered for the disqualification. This then became a six-woman tag match.

– Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair & Asuka defeated SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella, Peyton Royce & Billie Kay

Lynch made Royce tap with the Dis-Arm-Her.

– SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bludgeon Brothers defeated Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson to retain their titles

– WWE Champion AJ Styles defeated Samoa Joe to retain his title

This got the loudest reactions of the night. The entire crowd was into it, and it was a really good match.

Joe dominated at first, Styles threw him into the guardrail outside the ring, and Styles retained with the Phenomenal Forearm after some back and forth. This was a great house show for a small town.
