Submitted by a reader

– Dolph Ziggler defeated Intercontinental Champion The Miz w/ Maryse in a non-title match

Ziggler was pretty over with the crowd and Miz might have gotten the loudest boos all night. It started off as a title match but Miz declared his contract stated he didn’t have to defend it within 24 hours of a pay-per-view.

The match ended with Maryse getting ejected, Miz arguing with the ref, and then turning around into a superkick. Ziggler took multiple photos at ringside after the match and went around the floor.

– The Hype Bros, Jack Swagger & Apollo Crews defeated The Vaudevillains & The Ascension

Crews got a small reaction, as did the Hype Bros, but Swagger got a big pop from the crowd and came to ringside in an Oklahoma Sooners sweatshirt. The Vaudevillains got a lot of boos but the crowd was indifferent to The Ascension.

It was a pretty standard match and Swagger made one of the Ascension tap out to the ankle lock.

– Baron Corbin defeated Kalisto

Corbin got a mixed reaction and Kalisto was pretty over with crowd. They went back and forth a bit but Corbin hit the End of Days fairly quickly for the win. Curt Hawkins came to the ring after and announced a match against Kalisto while he was still selling on the mat.

– Kalisto defeated Curt Hawkins

Hawkins got in a little offense but Kalisto countered into a Salida del Sol for the win in under three minutes.

– American Alpha & Kane defeated Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton & Luke Harper

Everyone was really over in this match. Randy Orton got a lot of cheers and fans frequently chanted for the RKO whenever he was in the ring. At one point while Luke Harper had tossed Chad Gable to the floor, Bray Wyatt stole his headband and was wearing it for the rest of the match. 

Orton teased the RKO early but tagged in Luke Harper. Most of the match seemed to be built around building to Kane, there were multiple chants of “We want Kane” and the match ended with him getting in briefly and hitting a chokeslam on Harper for the pin. Orton started entering the ring during the count but just watched the pin happen instead of breaking it up.

– SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch defeated Alexa Bliss, Nikki Bella, Carmella, and Natalya in a fatal five-way match to retain her title

Bella came out first and got the biggest response of any of them, with Lynch the second most over. The match was mostly trading two people in the ring with the other three selling on the outside until someone ran in to break a pin or submission. 

Everyone mostly got their signature moves in, and it ended when Bliss tapped out to the Dis-arm-her. Bella interacted with the fans at ringside after the match and Lynch cut a brief promo saying she would “T-L-C Alexa this Sunday.”

– SmackDown Tag Team Champions Heath Slater & Rhyno defeated Breezango to retain their titles

Fun match with a lot of comedy spots. The crowd mostly chanted for Rhyno, but he was able to get them to cheer for Slater when he was on the apron. It ended with a Gore to Fandango.

– WWE World Champion AJ Styles defeated Dean Ambrose in an Oklahoma street fight to retain his title

Both guys got huge reactions, probably the most divided the crowd was the whole night on who they wanted to win. It was a good match that had some floor brawling, including Ambrose getting dropped on the barricades a few times and Styles getting whipped into the time keepers’ table. Styles got a cut on his elbow from the table spot.

The match ended with Styles grabbing a cup of coffee, throwing it in Ambrose’s face, and then hitting the Phenomenal Forearm. Styles folded up the title after and said he’s decided Ambrose isn’t making it to TLC. He went to hit him with the belt, but Ambrose reversed it into Dirty Deeds and left Styles laid out.
