WWE 8/29 San Juan, PR, house show results: Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt street fight

Submitted by Leonardo Mendez Toledo

– Cody Rhodes’ wife was the ring announcer and “host” for the show.

– The show opened with a Bray Wyatt pre-taped promo on the big screen. The announcer then said that Bray vs. Roman was for later in the show

WWE I-C champion Ryback def. Big Show in about 8 minutes

Good solid-basic match. The crowd was super hot for Ryback and booed loudly Big Show. Ryback won with the Shellshock to a big pop for picking up Show. He celebrated with the fans and left, then Show got up and the same people who booed him were now giving him a small ovation as he leaved the ring. So I guess Show broke his own record by having a heel-face turn in less than ten minutes.

Cesaro def. Bo Dallas with the Neutralizer around the 7 minute mark

Bo teased and Cesaro followed him around. Nice pop for Cesaro.

Natalya def. Emma with the Sharpshooter in around 7 minutes

Another simple match. After the match, Natalya picked it up a sign that said “We want Natalya in the Divas Revolution” and she went to the ring to show it around with the crowd cheering for it. 

Neville def. Stardust in around 8 minutes with the Red Arrow

Loud “Cody” chants during the match. At one point Stardust went to the apron and drank water from a bottle, then throw the bottle inside the ring and when the referee went to picked it up Stardust spit water on Neville’s face. That got great heat. Later in the match Neville got revenge by spitting water back to Stardust which lead to the pin.

Chris Jericho def. Luke Harper in 9 minutes with the Code Breaker

Harper arrived first and did a promo saying that there was no one who could take on him. His delivery was way better here than when he does his thing on the pre-taped segments with Wyatt. Jericho then did his entrance and Harper started to talk again until Jericho cut him up with his catchphrases. The fans were hot for Jericho and chanted all long for his lines.

Randy Orton def. Sheamus with an RKO at around the 16 minute mark

Another good solid match. Randy got a giant pop coming in and for the RKO and the win. The RKO is the most over move in the whole company probably because nobody kicks out of it. 

-Intermission

R-Truth def. Heat Slater in around 5 minutes

Slater came first and insulted the crowd and the city. Truth did his whole entrance. They lock up a few times but then Slater got the mic and said that it was now a Dance off. He danced to MC Hammer’s “Can’t touch this”. He was really funny. R-Truth then danced to the latest Marc Anthony’s hit so the fans loved him. Actually the song was Salsa and he was dancing something else but nobody cared, Slater then jumped Truth for the best heel moment of the night. Truth then won quickly with the jumping reverse STO.

Los Matadores (w/ Torito) def. Lucha Dragons around the 12-minute mark

Matadores and Torito wear the Puerto Rico National Basketball Team Shirt. Fernando and Sin Cara II started but the fans chanted “Eddie” and they tagged in Diego (Eddie) and Kalisto. All action match with a few crazy dives that also saw Torito get involved. Eddie did his father’s trademark cartwheel for a big pop. After the match, Eddie cut a nice promo thanking the fans; then Orlando said that “they may say that we are from Spain but we are Puertoricans” for a giant pop. Then they walked to the entrance stage a posed with the Lucha Dragons for another big pop.

Street Fight: Roman Reigns def. Bray Wyatt in 19 minutes

Big pop for both coming in but Roman got the best of it. Still, in the middle of the match there were some boos for Roman but you could barely hear it. They had the best match on the show doing a nice brawl with kendo sticks, chairs, ring steps and tables involved. Fans went crazy for the tables spots: Uranage from Bray to Roman and later a Powerbomb from Roman to Bray which lead to the finish when Roman covered Bray for the pin but Luke Harper ran in for the save. Luke and Bray then double teamed Roman, with the fans waiting for someone to come in, until he made the comeback with a Superman punch on Harper and a Spear on Bray for the win. 

Biggest pops: Probably Randy, followed by Roman, Matadores post-match promo, Ryback and Jericho.
