WWE Moline, IL, live results: Bray Wyatt vs. John Cena vs. Baron Corbin


Submitted by reader Ryan Howard
AJ Styles and Nikki Bella were advertised for the show but neither were there.
– SmackDown Tag Team Champions American Alpha defeated Breezango and The Usos to retain their titles
Alpha got a bunch of cheers, as did the Usos. Breezango played the heels great and teamed really well. Alpha used Grand Amplitude on one of the Usos for the finish.
– Heath Slater & Rhyno defeated The Ascension
Thought it was weird that this match happened right after the previous tag. It came off as two teams not good enough. Viktor is far and away the more talented of the Ascension members. The crowd was really behind Rhyno and Slater. Rhyno pinned Viktor with the Gore.
– Kalisto defeated Curt Hawkins
Kalisto hit Salida Del Sol for the finish. Ziggler attacked after the match, then Apollo Crews made the save and we had our next match.
– Apollo Crews defeated Dolph Ziggler
Kalisto came out to interfere, leading to Ziggler getting hit with Crews’ finish. The crowd still has no idea whether to cheer or boo Ziggler, but to be fair he didn’t do much in the way of heel tactics to make them boo.
– Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose defeated The Miz to retain his title
The crowd loved Ambrose and Miz got everyone riled up pre-match, which was the best part of the whole thing. The match wasn’t much. Ambrose won with Dirty Deeds after Maryse had been ejected from ringside.
– SmackDown Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss defeated Becky Lynch, Natalya, Carmella, and Tamina to retain her title
Nothing really stood out from the work in the match. Tamina seemed to either get hurt or just shaken up, because the ref jumped out of the ring mid-match to check on her, as did a guy around the ring, but she seemed fine.
She played babyface, since everyone else besides Lynch was a heel. Bliss pinned Lynch with a roll-up. Pretty underwhelming match.
– Randy Orton defeated Luke Harper
This was a great match. The crowd kept cheering Orton, who faked his ropes pose and flipped the crowd off, then faked it again and did the DX crotch chop. The crowd immediately chanted for Harper. Orton was the best thing on this show. Very entertaining showing by Harper too.
– WWE Champion Bray Wyatt defeated John Cena and Baron Corbin in a triple threat match to retain his title
Wyatt won after he hit a low blow and pinned Cena. Very slow match. One guy would take a bump and rest for five minutes on the floor, then they’d switch. Very little in the way of all three interacting until the last few minutes. Cena hit his finish afterwards to send the crowd home happy.
