– SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos defeated American Alpha, Breezango, and The Colons to retain their titles

To my surprise, The Usos got the best reaction from the crowd. Everyone was booing The Colons. An Uso hit Chad Gable with a superkick to retain.

– Tye Dillinger defeated Aiden English

English sang his way to the ring and sang some words in Spanish. Dillinger then appeared and got a great reaction at first, with people loving the “10” gimmick. The match was longer than most of English’s that I’ve seen. The crowd was quiet in the middle but got into it when the wrestlers began to interact with them.

Dillinger hit the Tye Breaker to win. He grabbed some “10” signs and took pictures with some people after.

– Luke Harper, Sin Cara & Mojo Rawley defeated Erick Rowan & The Ascension

Harper got the biggest response and people were chanting his name when he wasn’t in. There were also some “lucha” chants for Sin Cara. He hit a swanton on Rowan for the win after Harper had hit a discus lariat.

– Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Dolph Ziggler

Ziggler got a lot of cheers when he made his entrance, but Nakamura may have gotten the biggest pop of the night. People sang his theme song throughout the match.

The match was good and may have been the best of the night. Ziggler did his spots, but Nakamura connected with a Kinshasa for the victory.

– Naomi defeated Natalya, Carmella, Tamina, and Becky Lynch to retain her title

Lynch, Natalya, and Naomi all got great reactions, though the crowd was pretty quiet for Carmella and Tamina. The match was too short and everyone did two or three good moves until Naomi hit Natalya with the Rear View to retain.

– Baron Corbin defeated Sami Zayn

This was a typical SmackDown match. Nobody cheered for Corbin and there were “Ole” chants for Zayn. Corbin won with the End of Days basically out of nowhere.

– Randy Orton & AJ Styles defeated WWE Champion Jinder Mahal & United States Champion Kevin Owens

Everyone except Mahal got huge reactions, but I could see him looking like a champ. The Singh Brothers started saying something in Punjabi, then Mahal asked us if we could understand English. When the people said that they could, he said that he would talk in his language and got a lot of boos.

The match was good, with Mahal being kind of afraid of Orton. When people started chanting “RKO,” Owens grabbed the mic and said that we should be chanting “KO” instead.

Near the end, Orton hit both Singh Brothers with a draping DDT. Mahal tried to hit his finisher on Orton, but he failed and was hit by a Phenomenal Forearm. Owens tagged in and connected with a superkick on Styles, then Orton hit Owens with an RKO to a great reaction for the finish.
