WWE Leeds live results: Curt Hawkins returns to the ring

Submitted by Matt Barker

A Raw-brand house show took place in Leeds, England on Tuesday.

The show opened with Elias performing. He’s so talented and has a lot of charisma. Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, and Tamina interrupted him, which led to the next match.

– Sasha Banks, Dana Brooke & Ember Moon defeated Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan & Tamina

Banks made Morgan submit to the Banks Statement.

– Zack Gibson defeated El Ligero

Really good match, but a strange decision to have Ligero lose in his hometown. Gibson won with the Shankly Gates.

– No Way Jose & Tyler Breeze defeated Mojo Rawley & Curt Hawkins

Hawkins had been out of action for 11 weeks due to a hernia. No Way Jose was very over and hit a pop-up punch on Hawkins for the win.

Hawkins got on the microphone after the match and said he wanted to end his losing streak, which led to a match against Zack Ryder.

– Zack Ryder defeated Curt Hawkins

Ryder hit the Rough Ryder to get the immediate win.

Hawkins still wasn’t happy with the result, leading to him facing Titus O’Neil.

– Titus O’Neil defeated Curt Hawkins

Hawkins lost immediately again, with O’Neil hitting the Clash of the Titus.

– Raw Tag Team Champions AOP defeated Bobby Roode & Chad Gable to retain their titles

Very enjoyable match. Gable is awesome — as is Drake Maverick. Maverick was superb on the outside, acting like he was going to faint at how close AOP came to losing the titles.

– Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins defeated Dean Ambrose by DQ

The disqualification was due to Ambrose low blowing Rollins. Decent match that was cool to see in person.

– The B-Team defeated Heath Slater & Rhyno and The Ascension in a triple threat tag match

Bad move putting this on after intermission, but the crowd chanted for the B-Team and did “ECW” chants for Rhyno. The finish was cool, with Axel hitting the Perfect Plex on Viktor.

– Nikki Bella defeated Natalya

Alexa Bliss was the guest ring announcer and played a part in the finish by distracting Natalya when she had the Sharpshooter locked in. Bella made reference to Ronda Rousey not showing up when she heard about the show being in Leeds.

– Elias defeated Jinder Mahal

This was a short match. Elias won with the Drift Away.

– Braun Strowman defeated Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre in a handicap match

Strowman won with a powerslam on Ziggler. Baron Corbin came out after, hit Strowman with a chair, and ordered it to be restarted as a three-on-one match with no disqualifications.

– Baron Corbin, Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre defeated Braun Strowman in a no DQ, handicap match

McIntyre hit the Claymore Kick and all three pinned Strowman. Strowman came back and slammed all three of them after.

Corbin grabbed the microphone as Strowman had gone backstage. He ordered a singles match between him and Strowman.

– Braun Strowman defeated Baron Corbin

Corbin got the referee to start counting, but Strowman came out and hit a powerslam for the quick victory.
