Submitted by reader Scott Goldie
– Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Dolph Ziggler
Nakamura won a rather slow opening contest after Ziggler dominated most of the match.
– Breezango & Tye Dillinger defeated The Ascension & Aiden English
English got a lot of heat as he came out and Breezango were very over with the crowd. The match had a lot of dancing and singing. Tyler Breeze got the pin on English.
– Luke Harper defeated Erick Rowan
This was a hard-hitting contest that didn’t bring anything new to the table. There was a brief moment of concern after Rowan knocked Harper off of the top rope to the outside and Harper took a nasty looking fall, but he finished the match and there appeared to be no problems.
– SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi, Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch defeated Natalya, Tamina & Carmella {w/ James Ellsworth)
They continued building animosity between Lynch and Ellsworth. Naomi pinned Carmella to get the win.
– United States Champion Kevin Owens defeated Sami Zayn to retain his title
Owens berated the crowd and said the best part of the British Commonwealth was his native Canada. He said the audience should bow down to him. Owens picked up the win and continued to talk trash after, but Zayn got back up to his feet and cleared Owens from the ring.

– WWE Champion Randy Orton defeated Jinder Mahal and AJ Styles to retain his title
If they’re testing the waters to see what reaction Orton and Styles would get against each other, the answer was a resoundingly positive one. Styles got the biggest pop of the night. Orton retained after hitting an RKO on Mahal. Mahal got a lot of heat and “Who are you?” chants.
