WWE Madison Square Garden House Show
Date: October 3, 2015
Location: Madison Square Garden, New York City, New York
Commentators: Rich Brennan, John Bradshaw Layfield, Byron Saxton
The opening video talks about Cena vs. Rollins and Brock vs. Big Show.
Rusev/Sheamus vs. Randy Orton/Dolph Ziggler
Corporate Kane is here to help run the show and will run down to help if Demon Kane comes after Rollins. Well limp down but you get the idea.
Stardust vs. Neville
Team Bella vs. Team PCB
Intercontinental Title: Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens
We recap New Day vs. the Dudley Boyz which is about the new generation vs. the legends.
Tag Team Titles: New Day vs. Dudley Boyz
Post match New Day sets up a table but Bubba breaks up the Midnight Hour, leaving Woods (busy playing Taps) to take a 3D through the table.
Big Show vs. Brock Lesnar
The cage is lowered.
US Title: Seth Rollins vs. John Cena
Cena goes for the door but Rollins climbs over the top and slams the cage onto his head again. John gets up AGAIN and pulls Rollins back in for an AA but Seth lands on his feet and hits the low superkick for two to end a great sequence. The STF is countered into a Crossface but Cena powers up into another AA attempt.
Rating: A-. Really good match here and it would have been even better had Kane not come out. This felt like the big showdown that you often get in cage matches and it was cool to see the fans respecting Cena for his great effort. I could have gone without seeing Rollins getting pinned again but at least it was as close to being not clean as you can get in a cage match.
Cena leaves and Kane gives Rollins a chokeslam and tombstone to end the show.
