WWE Long Beach, CA, live results: Reigns & Zayn vs. Owens & Joe

Submitted by reader Brandon Chow

– Enzo Amore & Big Cass defeated Jinder Mahal & Rusev

Not much to this match, but having Enzo on the mic was a good way to get the crowd going to start the show. Rusev wasn’t wearing his mask. Lana was ejected from ringside towards the end. The ref was so animated when doing it that he literally bounced off the ropes and ran towards her to eject her. Enzo got the pin on Mahal.

– WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville defeated Rich Swann to retain his title

This was easily the best match on the show. There were lots of near falls that would’ve been really believable had it been a PPV or TV match. Swann tapped out to the Rings of Saturn and Neville wouldn’t break the hold even after the ref called for the bell.

– Golden Truth, Curtis Axel & Big Show defeated Bo Dallas, The Shining Stars & Titus O’Neil

The faces came out first, sans Big Show. Axel looked pretty out of place with Goldust and R-Truth. Dallas got on the mic and made fun of the faces for only having three people on their team, but Truth then introduced Big Show. The finish came when Show hit a chokeslam on O’Neil.

– Raw Tag Team Champions Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson defeated Cesaro & Sheamus and The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) to retain their titles

Big E played air guitar to Anderson and Gallows’ music, with Kingston lip syncing the lyrics to their theme. They got really into it. Anderson pinned Cesaro with his legs on the ropes. After the match, New Day got Cesaro and Sheamus to dance.

– Raw Women’s Champion Bayley & Sasha Banks defeated Charlotte Flair & Nia Jax

Most of the match was Banks selling for Charlotte and Jax. Bayley was mainly on offense when in the ring. Jax was knocked off the apron by Charlotte when she missed Banks. The finish came shortly after with Bayley pinning Charlotte after hitting the Bayley-to-Belly.

– Braun Strowman defeated Sin Cara

This match lasted longer than you’d think, with Sin Cara getting a considerable amount of offense in. Strowman only half sold or no sold, building up for when he would eventually destroy Sin Cara.

– Roman Reigns & Sami Zayn defeated WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens & Samoa Joe

Joe was mainly cheered, especially due to being a local of Huntington Beach. Reigns was booed a bit more than I’d expect at a house show. The finish came after a sequence where Reigns hit Owens with the Superman punch, Zayn hit the Helluva kick, Reigns speared Owens, then Zayn pinned Owens.
