Commentators: King Corino, Kevin Kelly
Opening sequence.
Addiction vs. Gedo/Kazuchika Okada
A top rope stomp to the chest gets two on Gedo but he grabs a quick Downward Spiral, finally allowing the hot tag to Okada. House is cleaned and the White Noise onto the knee gets two. Some double teaming slows Okada down until a double cross body gives us a breather. Back to Gedo for a jawbreaker and low superkick for two but Celebrity Addiction (belly to back into a gutbuster) is enough for the pin on Gedo at 14:41.
Adam Page vs. Watanabe
AJ Styles vs. Adam Cole
They shake hands to end the show.

The opening video is just a quick preview of the tag match.
Vaudevillains vs. Scott Dawson/Dash Wilder
Becky Lynch has a hip flexor injury and will be out for a few weeks.
Baron Corbin vs. Tucker Knight
Knight looks a lot like Rusev. End of Days in 47 seconds.
Eva Marie trained earlier today as Regal watched. That could be anywhere between a pleasant surprise to my mind exploding in shock to exactly the disaster a lot of people are expecting.
Emma vs. Carmella
Jason Jordan is annoyed at losing again last week so Chad Gable comes up to offer his services again.
Tyler Breeze vs. Tye Dillinger
Rhyno/Kevin Owens vs. Samoa Joe/Finn Balor
Results
Vaudevillains b. Scott Dawson/Dash Wilder – Whirling Dervish to Dawson
Baron Corbin b. Tucker Knight – End of Days
Emma b. Carmella – Emma Lock
Tyler Breeze b. Tye Dillinger – Beauty Shot
Finn Balor/Samoa Joe b. Rhyno/Kevin Owens – Coup de Grace to Owens

Jarrett, the Twins and Hall arrive separately.
Cruiserweight Title Tournament Semi-Finals: Lash Leroux vs. Shannon Moore
Norman Smiley breaks up the post match beatdown and promises to beat all of them up at SuperBrawl.
Time to run down the card.
Jarrett is livid after a break.
Hardcore Title: Demon vs. Bam Bam Bigelow
Funk and Sid are ready for the Twins tonight.
Booker vs. Stevie Ray
Kidman vs. Crowbar
The NWO sends their women away.
Sid Vicious/Terry Funk vs. Harris Brothers
Total Package vs. Fit Finlay
This Week in WCW Motorsports.
Tag Team Titles: 2XS vs. Mamalukes
Crowbar hits Disco with a lead pipe and steals the belts.
Dustin Rhodes vs. Ric Flair
Flash back six years and this could be interesting. Rhodes takes over to start by stomping Flair into the corner and suplexing him down but a clothesline takes out the referee about twenty seconds in. A low blow puts Dustin down but he avoids a knee drop and puts Flair in the Figure Four. That earns him a Rolex to the face, giving Ric the pin.
Terry Funk makes the save but Lex Luger hits the ring to take out Dustin and rack Funk.
Scott Hall vs. Jeff Jarrett
Not so fast though as the first referee gets up and says restart it so Hall punches various people until a mic shot puts him down for two. Jarrett misses a belt shot and takes one to the face, but this time Johnson pulls Mickie Jay to the floor. Cue Sid and GOOD GRIEF JUST LET THERE BE A PIN. Hall Edges Johnson and Sid powerbombs Jarrett as the match is finally thrown out.

Delavar Daivari vs. Texano
Konnan and Puma are getting ready when Catrina and Muertes come in to say the title is his. Then they disappear, which Konnan calls mind games.
Hernandez vs. Drago
A kick to the head staggers Hernandez on the top and sets up a hurricanrana for two. Not a bad power vs. speed match so far. Another kick to the face (well the heel but you get the idea) sets up an Asai corkscrew dive, only to have Hernandez Border Toss Drago onto the apron. A “fan” loses his belt and Drago gets whipped and choked for the DQ.
Marty Martinez vs. Alberto El Patron
Alberto punches him down in the corner and kicks at the ribs, setting up a Codebreaker on the arm and the cross armbreaker for the win in less than a minute.
Lucha Underground Title: Chavo Guerrero vs. Prince Puma

Brock is here.
Divas Title: Nikki Bella vs. Tamina vs. Paige
Kofi Kingston vs. Brock Lesnar
NXT Title: Finn Balor vs. Kevin Owens
Kane/King Barrett vs. John Cena/Dolph Ziggler
A big celebration ends the show. Cole: “You and I actually trended on Twitter tonight!” Is there really any other way to end this? Thankfully the last shot of the show is Balor holding up the title.

Chris Jericho b. Neville – Red Arrow
Nikki Bella b. Paige and Tamina – Forearm to Tamina
Brock Lesnar b. Kofi Kingston – F5

The Rising vs. Beat Down Clan
Tag Team Titles: Wolves vs. Dirty Heels
The Heels get smart by throwing the Wolves to the floor to kill some time and Aries keeps up the intelligence with a suicide dive to take them both out. Eddie starts fighting back at the two minute mark and the powerbomb/Backstabber combo ties things up with about seventy five seconds left. Roode sneaks in with a belt shot to the head for two but Eddie counters the Roode Bomb into a rollup for the pin. The last ten seconds quickly run out and the Wolves get the titles back at 30:00.

Results
Beat Down Clan b. The Rising – Drive By to Galloway
Wolves b. Dirty Heels – Rollup to Roode

We open with a recap of Rollins giving the Authority all their presents on Monday, leading to the Authority and Wyatt beating down Reigns to end the show.
Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt
Adam Rose and Rosa Mendes are in the ring to call the entire audience jealous of him, only to be interrupted by R-Truth.
R-Truth vs. Adam Rose
Video of Rock appearing at a house show over the weekend. Since this is WWE, they show it on the WWE Youtube channel.
Recap of Cena vs. Cesaro on Monday with Owens coming in for the DQ.
Mark Henry disagrees and says Ryback is disrespectful.
Mark Henry vs. Ryback
The Stooges show off some Apple Watch features.
Brie Bella vs. Naomi
This is described as a match between the stars of Total Divas. Brie slaps her in the face to start and a chase on the floor lets Brie get in a clothesline to take over. Back in and the BRIE MODE minus obnoxiously shouting BRIE MODE knee to the face gets two but Naomi slaps her in the face. Turnabout being fair play and all that jazz. Fox trips Naomi up though and the Bella Buster is good for the pin at 3:59.
Prime Time Players vs. Ascension
Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns
The beating is on but Ambrose comes out for the save, allowing for a big double beatdown on Mercury as the other two bail to end the show.
Results
Bray Wyatt b. Dean Ambrose – Sister Abigail
R-Truth b. Adam Rose – Lie Detector
Ryback b. Mark Henry – Shell Shock
Brie Bella b. Naomi – Bella Buster
Prime Time Players b. Ascension – Clash of the Titus to Konnor
Roman Reigns b. Seth Rollins via DQ when Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble interfered
