WWE White Plains, NY, live results: Styles vs. Nakamura

Submitted by Mike Omansky

A SmackDown-brand house show took place in White Plains, New York on Monday night.

– Jeff Hardy defeated Andrade “Cien” Almas (w/ Zelina Vega)

Hardy won a fast-paced opener with the Swanton. It was a good back-and-forth match, with them evenly matched for most of it.

Randy Orton ran in to attack Hardy after and laid him out with the RKO.

– Rusev (w/ Lana) defeated Aiden English

Rusev submitted English with the Accolade. This was a pretty one-sided match and only went about five minutes.

– Asuka & Carmella defeated The IIconics (Peyton Royce & Billie Kay)

Decent match. Asuka was dominant at the end, winning with the Asuka Lock.

– SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch defeated Charlotte Flair to retain her title

Very strong match. Near the finish, Lynch was outside of the ring and threw a chair into the ring.  The referee grabbed it and started talking to the ring announcer on the side.  As the ref was handing them the chair, Lynch grabbed another and hit Charlotte in the stomach. She jumped back in the ring for the pin.

– SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bar (Cesaro & Sheamus) defeated The New Day (Big E & Xavier Woods) w/ Kofi Kingston to retain their titles

Standard decent match between these teams. Cesaro poked Big E in the eye and Sheamus pinned him after a slam.

– Daniel Bryan defeated The Miz

Miz did a lot of stalling before the match. About 10 minutes were devoted to him removing his sunglasses and robe. The match had a lot of punching and kicking, with Bryan pinning Miz after the running knee.

– WWE Champion AJ Styles defeated Shinsuke Nakamura to retain his title

I thought this was the best match of the night. Both hit good moves, and it was as solid as you’d expect. Styles retained with the Styles Clash.

Styles was originally advertised to face Samoa Joe.
