– Apollo Crews defeated Sheamus

Sheamus got a lot of boos here. Crews got the victory via pinfall. Just a match and nothing much to it.

– Braun Strowman defeated Jey Uso w/Jimmy Uso

Strowman won with the reverse chokeslam, but got superkicked by both Usos after.

– United States Champion Rusev defeated Titus O’Neil

– WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day (Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston) defeated Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows

New Day won after Big E came out for the distraction.

– Roman Reigns & Finn Balor defeated Seth Rollins & Chris Jericho

This was the best match of the night. Crowd wasn’t fully into it at first, but the sheer hard work of the wrestlers got them excited. The heels tried to cut a promo on the town but they’re so entertaining that they got kind of cheered.

Reigns got a good amount of boos at first but was mostly cheered by the end of the match.

– WWE Women’s Champion Sasha Banks defeated Charlotte w/Dana Brooke

Banks successfully defended her title when she made Charlotte tap with the Banks Statement.

– Sami Zayn defeated Kevin Owens

A good house show match but nothing special. They’re both excellent workers who have done it so many times that it was just effortless for them to put on a good match.

– John Cena defeated AJ Styles

This was the second best match of the night. Cena got the biggest pop of anyone on the show. People were into all the false finishes with Styles escaping the AA and hitting the Styles Clash. Styles kicked out of an AA before all the shenanigans with run-ins and ref bumps began.

As they’ve done previously on the tour, they announced an NXT tour of Australia next year, showing Samoa Joe, Bayley, and Shinsuke Nakamura so we’ll see what happens there.
