Commentators: Byron Saxton, Rich Brennan, Corey Graves
We open with the roster on the stage and HHH talking about the loss of Dusty Rhodes. Dusty was family to everyone on this stage because he thought they were his kids. HHH, barely able to keep his voice together, asks for a moment of silence as the bell rings ten times.
Opening sequence.
Balor vs. Rhyno later tonight.
Enzo Amore/Colin Cassady vs. Jason Jordan/Sylvester LeFort
Dana Brooke vs. Cassie
Hype Bros vs. Sawyer Fulton/Angelo Dawkins
Eva Marie wants a match but Regal needs proof that she has more than charm.
Finn Balor vs. Rhyno
Owens is annoyed at all the questions Brennan is asking him as Balor gets two off a dropkick to the side of the head. That earns him a northern lights suplex but Balor staggers him with a Pele Kick. The Coup de Grace is loaded up but Owens comes down for a distraction, allowing Rhyno to hit the belly to belly. The Gore is countered by a kick to the face though and the Sling Blade sets up the Coup de Grace for the pin at 11:40.
Owens comes in and double teams Balor until Samoa Joe comes in for the save, likely setting up a tag match next week.
Overall Rating: C. Not their best show this week but they did a good job of setting up Balor vs. Owens in less than two weeks. Other than that they have enough feuds and stories going on to set up a big non-Takeover show before we get to the REALLY big stuff down the line. Good effort this week, even though it was mainly a placeholder outside of the main story.
Results
Enzo Amore/Colin Cassady b. Jason Jordan/Sylvester LeFort – Rollup to Jordan
Dana Brooke b. Cassie – Whiplash
Hype Bros b. Sawyer Fulton/Angelo Dawkins – Middle rope Rough Ryder to Dawkins
Finn Balor b. Rhyno – Coup de Grace
