From Drew Sw4ns Noble:
Justin Roberts starts the evening to a big pop, but is soon drowned out with 'No!' chants when he states that due to his recently announced neck injury, Daniel Bryan won't be in attendance. He advises that attendees have 20 minutes to claim refunds for their tickets should they wish to do so. I didn't see anyone go from the area I was in.
Roberts is soon interrupted by Randy Orton who gets a lot of heat. Orton takes the mic and states that the only reason he agreed to come to this 'God forsaken country' was to claim back his title but seeing as Bryan isn't there, he's calling out Roman Reigns.
The crowd give Reigns a big pop as he makes his way through the audience. His eye is still bandaged up from the previous evening in Glasgow and it looks quite swollen. The match begins and there's a brief bout of evenly balanced back and forth until Reigns is thrown out of the ring. Rybaxel run down the ramp and attack Reigns, only to soon be countered by Ambrose and Rollins, who sprint down from the entranceway.
Brad Maddox appears at the top of the ramp and announces that tonight we will see Ambrose and Rollins go against Rybaxel, and later, Reigns will face Orton in a Newcastle Street Fight.
The Shield (Ambrose and Rollins) vs Rybaxel was a great match with plenty of spots. These guys are all truly talented and sometimes I think that watching them on TV doesn't do them a hint of justice. Rybaxel is massive, much moreso then you'd expect, and he panders to the audience well. Rybaxel got a lot of heat and plenty of near pin falls. The crowd were really into this match and The Shield picked up the victory after Rollins hit Axel with the curb stomp.
Paige and the Funkadactyls vs Layla, Rosa Mendes and Tamina Snuka
The heel group of Layla, ROsa and Tamina head out together, with Tamina shouting abuse to the audience. Next out are The Funkadactyls followed by Divas Champion Paige, who gets a huge pop in her home country.
Some decent back and fourth action though the Funkadactyls really struggle to run without looking like they're pretending to do so. Rosa and Layla played the ditzy blondes and at one point, when a member of the audience shouted "We want puppies!", Rosa pointed at him and shouted angrily "That's rude!".
After the heels seperated one of the Funkadactyls for a period of time, she managed to get the hot tag and Paige picked up the pin for her team. After some pressure from Naomi and Cameron, Paige briefly danced a goofy MC hammer routine before getting shy and retreating to celebrate with the crowd around the ring.
Roberts returns to the ring and hypes the matches later in the evening. Kane appears on the screens in a pre-recorded segment and talks about how he will beat Show in their steel cage match.
Sin Cara vs Rusev
Sin Cara makes his way to the ring and stretches, going up the turnbuckle and posing for the crowd. Good to see that they're no longer insisting on having him wrestle matches in yellow and blue lighting to detract from poor performance. Hunico is a much more solid Sin Cara than the original.
Lana appears at the top of the ramp and gets heat as she talks about how she and Rusev support Vladamir Putin, though a lot of males in the audience make wolf whistles at her. She introduces Rusev, who is billed as 'now living in Russia' and his entrance video has a noticeable amount of Putin stills.
