Submitted by Mike Omansky from the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ

– The show opened with a Roman Reigns interview talking about winning the title on his daughter’s birthday.  He figured his days were numbered in the company.  Sheamus came out and congratulated him on holding the title longer than 5:15.  Sheamus said he’d be winning it back. Sheamus announced there is an internal investigation going on regarding Reigns and he is not allowed in the building.  Reigns told Sheamus to make him leave.  Security guards came out to remove him but he destroyed all of them.

– U.S. Champion Alberto Del Rio beat Ryback with the armbar. Good match dominated by Del Rio. Ryback makes the comeback and is about to finish him off, but the full League of Nations comes out. Ryback is distracted; Del Rio takes him down and clamps on thearmbar for the win.

– They did a backstage segment where Tyler Breeze and Summer Rae, the former of which is about to wrestle Titus O’Neil. Goldust walked in, Rae sprayed hair spray in his mouth, and thus, Breeze is feuding with Tyler Breeze.

– Titus O’Neil beat Tyler Breeze. Goldust was out, sat next to Rae, and distracted Breeze by taking selfies with Breeze’s selfie stick.

– Backstage, Dean Ambrose did an interview where he said he’s ready to defend the I-C title against Kevin Owens or anyone.

– Wyatts vignette aired. 

– Lucha Dragons beat WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day (Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston) in a non-title match when Kalisto pinned Kingston.mIt is announced later that there will be a rematch next Tuesday, live on Smackdown, for the tag titles.

– Dolph Ziggler backstage interview, talking about Owens.

– Becky Lynch beat Brie Bella by submission after Charlotte tripped Brie and Becky locked on an armbar submission. Team BAD were also out at ringside.

– Backstage, Becky and Charlotte argued about why Charlotte interfered for her. Becky wants to win on her own.

– Backstage, Owens said he wants his I-C title back.

– Dolph Ziggler beat Kevin Owens via DQ for throwing him into the ring steps. Ambrose made the save and chased Owens off.  Ambrose then checked on Ziggler, and Ziggler superkicked him.

Notes:

– In the dark match segment, the League of Nations ran out to attack Ambrose and Ziggler. The Usos race in and get beaten down. Enter Roman Reigns who runs into to clean house. The other faces recover and the heels retreat.  This was apparently in lieu of the “massive” 6 man tag main event that had been advertised for weeks.

– WWE will return to the building on May 22nd for Payback. Pre-sale tickets can be had by using ‘Payback’.
