WWE Live Event
Buffalo, New York
Report by Dot Net reader Brandon
The 300s (highest tier) were completed unsold. The rest of the arena that was opened appeared to be about 80-90% full. I’d guess around 7,000.
1. AJ Styles beat Tyler Breeze. Styles won with the springboard forearm. Fine match. Styles was over.
2. Mark Henry beat The Ascension in a handicap match. Henry pinned Konnor after the World’s Strongest Slam. Henry seemed to take his time soaking in the cheers afterward, almost as if he was nearing the end of his run.
3. Fandango, Damien Sandow, and Darren Young beat Stardust, Heath Slater, and Adam Rose. A decent comedy match, given some time. Stardust had Eden tell the crowd that he would beat them all up one-by-one if they didn’t stop chanting “Cody”. This got a lot of heat. Stardust teased not getting along with Slater and Rose, before ultimately hugging but eating a comeback from the babyfaces. Fandango pinned Stardust with a Falcon Arrow.
4. Luke Harper beat Zack Ryder. Harper got the win with spinning lariat.
5. Xavier Woods and Big E beat The Dudley Boyz and The Usos in a Triple Threat to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship. Woods pinned one of the Usos after Dudleys hit a 3D and Woods got rid of Bubba with a roaring elbow. New Day worked as tweeners, playing face against the Dudleys but heel against the Usos.
6. Charlotte beat Natalya to retain the Divas Championship. Charlotte got the pin with a schoolboy with her feet on the ropes. Good reaction for Natalya as she rose to her feet after the match.
7. Chris Jericho beat Jack Swagger. Jericho won with the Codebreaker. He did a long promo beforehand, mostly cheap heat, burying the town, much like he did in Toronto, but it got over strongly. After the match, he put Swagger in the Walls of Jericho. Styles ran out to make the save. Styles had Jericho setup for the springboard forearm, but Jericho bailed out.
8. Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose beat Sheamus and King Barrett. Reigns pinned Sheamus after the Spear. Reigns again did not enter through the crowd, just a normal entrance through the curtain. I heard this was the case in Syracuse the night before too. I wonder if he’ll be done with that entrance on TV too. Reigns was very over, most over wrestler on the show. Only very few boos. Obviously much different from anything on TV.
