Preshow Match: The New Day (c) vs Rusev Day
Main Show: Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton
First off, I've noticed that Jeff is rocking his old wrestling gear when he was part of the Hardy Boyz with Matt Hardy and I would like to thank Matt for giving us a career to remember. Especially when he was Broken Matt Hardy.
Anyways, did Jeff Hardy almost kill himself in this match? Yes like when Jeff missed a Splash of some sort and instead hit himself on the table from the top of the cell. There was a cringeworthy moment where Randy grabbed a screwdriver and put it in Jeff's ear. Overall this wasn't the match of the year or anything like that but it was a good match and a good way to kick off the show.
Charlotte Flair (c) vs Becky Lynch
The promo package for this match was FANTASTIC. Anyways, the match itself was great in my opinion. The entire match was pretty much Becky lynch aiming at Charlotte's arm. The match ends with Charlotte hitting the spear and immediately lynch reversed it into a roll-up pin of some sort and wins the match.
Becky is your new smackdown live women's champion. After the match, Charlotte tried to shake Becky's hand but instead, Becky refused it and held her championship high. Good on her and congratulations to Becky Lynch.
Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre (c) vs Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose
Another great match. That frog splash on Drew's back by Rollins was amazing to watch. The match ends with Seth hitting a suplex into a falcon arrow and then out of nowhere McIntyre hit the claymore kick to Seth Rollins only for Dolph to pin Seth and retain the titles. Kudos for all 4 men for giving us a great match.
AJ Styles (c) vs Samoa Joe
This is when my Internet connection like to mess with me just like Samoa Joe messing with AJ styles psychologically. During the match, Joe hit a powerbomb to styles followed by a modified walls of Jericho aka the Boston crab and then did a STF submission. That was a great sequence. By the end of the match, Samoa Joe hit the kokina clutch and immediately styles reversed that and pins him. By the way, this match had the same finish when Seth Rollins faced Samoa Joe at the Payback PPV just a year ago. Overall a decent match.
Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella vs The Miz and Maryse
Ronda Rousey (c) vs Alexa bliss
This was an okay match. Nothing really made this match stand out in my opinion. The match ends with Ronda delivering the armbar submission which made Alexa tap out. In other words, Ronda is still the raw women's champion. (No shit, Omar).
Roman Reigns (c) vs Braun Strowman with Mick Foley as the guest referee.
During the match, Mick Foley unfortunately botched the count. In other words, Strowman is your uncrowned universal champion and all I can say to that is God bless him. I actually would prefer this match over the opening match if it wasn't for that terrible ending like What was that?
