WWE Canton, OH, results: ADR gets a standing ovation, Axel forgets his team’s name

Submitted by Tim Taylor. Thanks also to Brittany Sanders.

– About 90% full in a venue that holds 5000 or so.

– WWE Champion Roman Reigns was announced as not being there and refunds were offered for 20 minutes.  Of course, Kevin Owens came out to cut a promo, which brought out Dean Ambrose, who brawled with Owens in hopes no one asked for refunds.

– Strowman, Rowan, and Harper over Tommy Dreamer and the Dudley Boyz in a tables match. Rowan and Harper put Dreamer through the table for the win.

– Neville over the Miz.  Miz didn’t cut a promo but had JoJo read his promo heeling on the Cleveland sports teams. Miz’s dad was in attendance.

– Becky Lynch over Tamina w/Naomi. The BAD girls worked over Lynch after the match but Natayla made the save, putting Tamina in the sharpshooter.  Good pop for Lynch, but crowd wasn’t as into the match.

– R-Truth over Stardust. Crowd loved Truth.

– US Champion Alberto Del Rio over Kalisto to retain. Del Rio got a standing ovation from the production crew with the exception of agent Fit Finlay.  This had to be a rib as Del Rio nearly cracked up seeing that. Guys worked hard and it was a good match.

– Social Outcasts over The Ascension and Los Matadores. Crowd didn’t know who to cheer at first, the Outcasts were the faces, and fans never got too into the match until the end. Los Matadores didn’t seem overly interested in being there. In the pre-match promo, Axel referred to them as the Social Outlaws.

– Sheamus over Jack Swagger. Sheamus with a pre-match promo.  Solid match.

– WWE IC Champion Dean Ambrose beat Kevin Owens to retain. Started off with the heat and a good majority of the match was Ambrose being beat down and making small comebacks.  Ambrose kicked out of the pop up power bomb and won soon after with Dirty Deeds. Ambrose was clearly the biggest star of the show in the eyes of the crowd getting the biggest pop and having the biggest chunk of merchandise sold.
