Submitted by reader Amin Ajani
– Finn Balor defeated Karl Anderson (w/ Luke Gallows)
During the match, Anderson and Gallows went to leave and Balor grabbed the mic. Balor said he thought he knew them better and called them chickens and nerds. He also said Toronto is Balor Club.
The match kept going from there. Gallows grabbed Balor’s leg when he was going for a dive, then Anderson got a two count with a neckbreaker. Balor hit a dive on both of them and ended up winning with the Coup de Grace.
– Heath Slater, Rhyno, Titus O’Neil, Apollo Crews & Goldust defeated Curtis Axel, Bo Dallas, Curt Hawkins & The Revival
They had a fairly long comedy match, ending when Rhyno pinned Hawkins with a spinebuster.
– Elias came out for a concert. He got a mixed reaction when he asked the crowd if they wanted to walk with him. Given that the show was in Toronto, he sang “Hotline Bling” by Drake. He then sang an anti-Toronto song and was booed heavily.
Kane came out to a good reaction. He sang “She’ll be coming around the mountain” with Elias until Elias called him a terrible singer. Kane gave him a chokeslam and left.
– Raw Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins & Jason Jordan defeated Cesaro & Sheamus to retain their titles
They had the best match of the show. Rollins got cheered and Jordan was loudly booed at the start, with the crowd chanting “We want Rollins” at the beginning of the match.
For the finish, Jordan did his neckbreaker to Sheamus and Rollins hit his knee strike on Cesaro for the pin.
– Asuka, Sasha Banks & Bayley defeated Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax & Dana Brooke
Mickie James was the special guest referee for this. Asuka and Banks got cheered the most, but Bliss, Bayley, and Jax got a good reaction as well. The heels worked over Banks for most of the match, then Asuka got the hot tag and ran wild on Brooke.
Brooke tried to roll-up Asuka while holding onto her tights but James saw it. Brooke started to argue with James, which led to Asuka locking on a cross armbreaker for the win.
– Matt Hardy defeated Bray Wyatt
They had a fine match. Hardy came out to the Hardy Boys music, which didn’t work for his new character. Wyatt tried to hit Sister Abigail near the end, but Hardy countered with the Twist of Fate for the win.
– Intercontinental Champion Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe ended in a no contest
There were loud “Joe” chants when he made his entrance. Reigns got a huge mixed reaction and dueling chants. Joe attacked him before the bell rang and got a near fall.
The match was stopped when Joe got cut open and was bleeding when he was sent into the steps. Officials came out to check on him and the referee called for the bell. Joe entered back into the ring to loud chants, with Reigns hitting him with a Superman punch and a spear. Reigns posed and signed autographs as the show ended.
