– SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bludgeon Brothers defeated Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson and The Usos in a triple threat match to retain their titles
Rowan got the pin on Anderson.
– Andrade “Cien” Almas (w/ Zelina Vega) defeated Sin Cara
– Asuka, Becky Lynch & Nikki Cross defeated Peyton Royce, Billie Kay & Lana
They tried to get the heat on Lana for a couple minutes, which wasn’t the best thing I’ve ever seen. Asuka got the win with the Asuka Lock.
– United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Jeff Hardy to retain his title
Nakamura retained with the Kinshasa after both used low blows during the match. Randy Orton came out after, getting the biggest pop of the night with the show being in St. Louis. He attacked Hardy and hit him with an RKO.
– Daniel Bryan defeated The Miz
Bryan kicked out of the Skull Crushing Finale before winning with the running knee. He probably got the second biggest pop of the night.
– The New Day (Big E & Kofi Kingston) defeated Cesaro & Sheamus
Kingston pinned Cesaro. Xavier Woods wasn’t on the show.
– SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella defeated Naomi to retain her title
There were lots of “We want Ellsworth” chants, which sadly went unanswered. Carmella won with a feet-on-the-ropes pin.
– WWE Champion AJ Styles defeated Rusev (w/ Aiden English) and Samoa Joe in a triple threat match to retain his title
They had a basic three-way where the two heels tried to team up but kept betraying each other. Styles won after hitting Joe with the Phenomenal Forearm. Styles hung out around ringside for a good 10 minutes afterwards and took selfies with basically everyone.
Overall, a pretty solid, if unremarkable, house show. Nobody worked too hard, nobody seemed to get hurt, and the audience had a pretty good time.
