– Raw Tag Team Champions Cesaro & Sheamus defeated The Revival to retain their titles
Both teams worked heel and the champions won clean after hitting both the Brogue Kick and Neutralizer.
– Jason Jordan defeated Elias Samson
Samson sang an anti-Halifax song before being interrupted by Jordan. Jordan won, with there being a loud “we want Angle” chant throughout the match.
– Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss defeated Sasha Banks and Nia Jax to retain her title
Jax dominated most of the match until Bliss surprised Banks with a roll-up pin. Banks arguably had the pop of the night as she entered the ring.
– Enzo Amore came out and cut a promo about Big Cass, saying that Halifax was one of his favorite crowds as they helped chant “Cass-hole.” Cass then entered and knocked out Amore in two minutes before the bell could be rung for a match.

They had a hard-hitting match that lasted eleven minutes before Wyatt hit Balor with a chair, giving Balor a DQ victory.
– It was announced during intermission that the main event would be Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman vs. Samoa Joe in a triple threat match. It was later revealed that Seth Rollins had transportation issues and didn’t land in Nova Scotia until 10 p.m. He missed the show, but there were loud “we want Rollins” chants heard throughout the night.
Rollins tweeted an apology: “Apologies to everyone in Halifax tonight. Was traveling since 4am to make the show, but didn’t land in NS until almost 10pm. I owe ya!” He was scheduled to face Wyatt on the show, with The Hardys also advertised for the event as well.
– WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville defeated Akira Tozawa to retain his title
You could tell that the crowd was unfamiliar with Tozawa, but both wrestlers got praise from the audience after a fast-paced, entertaining match. Neville won by submission with the Rings of Saturn.
– Dean Ambrose defeated Karl Anderson (w/ Luke Gallows)
The crowd was very pro-Ambrose and were behind him throughout. He eventually won after hitting Dirty Deeds.
– Roman Reigns defeated Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman
Strowman dominated most of the match until three Superman punches knocked him to the floor. Reigns was able to hit Joe with a spear to end the show with a victory.
