WWE Abbotsford, BC, results: Roman Reigns vs. Alberto Del Rio


Submitted by Ben Lypka
Enzo Amore and Big Cass (with Carmella) against The Ascension
- Fans did not really know Enzo’s pre-match spiel, pretty silent during their intro aside from the SAWFT line by Cass
- Pretty decent match between the four but I dont think many people knew who Amore and Cass were. The heels get the heat on Enzo and he eventually makes the hot tag to Cass.
- Finish sees Amore hit a splash onto Viktor for the win
Miz vs. AJ Styles
- Major heat for Miz, who got on the mic and complained about Styles breaking his tooth earlier this week
- Styles comes out to a massive pop and before they lock up there are huge “AJ Styles” chants and a light “this is awesome” chant
- Pretty good stuff here, with Miz hitting the skull crushing finale and Styles kicking out. Styles teased the Clash but Miz broke out. Finish saw Styles lock in the calf slicer for the win
Rusev vs. Axel
- Lana works the crowd by bashing Abbotsford and saying how everyone should be so grateful to see herself and Rusev. This brings out Axel (by himself) to not much reaction
- Axel says he will kick Rusev’s ass and then have Lana to himself and shakes his hips like Rick Rude
- Short match follows, with Lana distracting Axel and it leading to a superkick and accolade.
- Rusev then gets on the mic again and asks for competition. This brings out Jack Swagger and another short match that sees Swagger roll up Rusev in a few minutes
New Day vs. Usos/Ryback
- Huge reaction for New Day, who came out first and then had to return to the back because their smoke pyro didnt go off. Light boos for the Usos but Ryback was over. He’s wearing new tights that say “Big Guy” and now wrestles wearing a weight belt.
- Fun match follows, with Ryback eventually catching Woods and hitting the shell shock on him
Lucha Dragons vs. Los Matadores
- Dragons come out to a decent reaction, while the Matadores come out to crickets. They then establish themselves as heels by taking a Lucha Dragons shirt and wiping their nose/underarm and ass with it.
- Pretty pedestrian match, with the finish seeing Sin Cara hit one of the Matadores with a swanton
Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch
- Both girls got decent reactions, and the match had some decent spots, including Lynch apply an armbar to Charlotte, who turned it into a powerbomb.
- Lynch reversed the figure eight but moments later Charlotte rolled her up with the tights to win
Main Event: Roman Reigns vs. Alberto Del Rio
- Del Rio was over, and was interacting a lot with the crowd. He was behaving like a face to the males over 13. Good reaction for Reigns, with kids and women behind him
- Solid match, but a little long. Reigns eventually goes over after fighting out of the armbar twice. Reigns hits a spear to win.
