– Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Dolph Ziggler

This was similar to the Backlash match with Ziggler. The second loudest reaction from the crowd during the night was for Nakamura’s entrance.

– Breezango defeated The Ascension

Breezango won in a run-of-the-mill match.

– Tye Dillinger defeated Aiden English

English started working the crowd well as he came out and did so through the entire match. After Dillinger won, English had a meltdown and challenged anyone else backstage to another match. Mojo Rawley’s music hit and he answered the challenge.

– Mojo Rawley defeated Aiden English

Rawley hit two moves and squashed English.

– Luke Harper defeated Erick Rowan

Harper won in a match that had a similar flow and similar spots as the one we just saw at Backlash. At one point Rowan told us that he “wants some ice cream because it’s delicious.”

– AJ Styles defeated United States Champion Kevin Owens by DQ

Owens came out to the third loudest pop of the night. He worked the mic for a bit and let the crowd know that Styles wouldn’t be wrestling tonight due to the beating that he received at Backlash. Styles’ music hit and he entered the ring. They had a decent match that Styles won via DQ after Owens used a chair.

– SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi, Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch defeated Natalya, Carmella & James Ellsworth

The women and Ellsworth put on a fun match that had the crowd engaged and excited from start to finish.

– SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos defeated American Alpha to retain their titles

The Usos retained in another run-of-the-mill match. Them playing to the crowd was probably the highlight of it as they thought they were in Ohio.

– Randy Orton & Sami Zayn defeated WWE Champion Jinder Mahal & Baron Corbin

Mahal got good heat as he worked the crowd up for a few minutes with the Singh Brothers as he entered the ring. Zayn came out to a healthy pop and Orton got the biggest reaction of the night. The match was mostly Zayn getting worked over and trying to tag in Orton. Orton eventually got in and hit an RKO on Corbin for the win.
