– SmackDown Tag Team Champions American Alpha defeated The Usos and Breezango to retain their titles

Solid match. Usos were the most over team by far, with louder cheers than boos.

– Kalisto defeated Curt Hawkins

Kalisto was pretty over and Hawkins got almost no reaction. It was an okay match. Kalisto won via Salida Del Sol. 

– SmackDown Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss defeated Carmella (w/ James Ellsworth), Becky Lynch, Natalya, and Naomi to retain her title

Lynch and Natalya were super over with the crowd. Natalya, Naomi, and Lynch worked on offense for most of the match, with Carmella and Bliss taking most of the bumps.

Bliss retained after throwing Naomi out of the ring and pinning Carmella.

– Bray Wyatt defeated Luke Harper

Wyatt was incredibly over at the start but after some antics (telling the crowd he’s the man and daring Harper to hit him from behind) people got behind Harper. The chants were then split between Harper and Wyatt. The match was back and forth for a bit before Wyatt got the upper hand.

There were some near falls after they hit each other with moves that weren’t their finishers. Wyatt won after hitting Sister Abigail. This was an awesome match. Wyatt left Harper in the ring after and he got a pretty loud ovation when he got up. Clearly he got over in this town.

– Mojo Rawley defeated Viktor

Okay reaction for both guys. Rawley won with a few clotheslines in a weird match. Rawley didn’t do any of his signature stuff.

– Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose defeated Baron Corbin and AJ Styles in a triple threat match to retain his title

The crowd got up for this one. They each took turns wrestling each other after Styles and Corbin beat down Ambrose. Ambrose won after hitting Corbin with the Dirty Deeds.

– WWE Champion John Cena defeated Randy Orton to retain his title

The crowd was 50/50 for what was a good pro wrestling match. Orton had control working the leg. Cena started to make a comeback but Orton grabbed the ropes when he went for the Attitude Adjustment, which led to the ref taking a bump.

Orton brought a chair in and hit Cena with it. He went for the cover but Cena kicked out. Orton went to hit him again but Cena ducked and hit the AA for the win.
