Drew Gulak vs. Oney Lorcan (Cruiserweight Championship)

A fast paced 8 minute match; these it’s aren’t gonna the time and energy from the crowd needed to put into the work they need to but that’s what 205 Live is for.

Gulak retains.

Apollo Crews vs. Buddy Murphy

A pretty good to help kickoff match, not your standard main roster stuff and to top it all off they shot an angle! That’s right, Rowan showed up to annihilate Buddy Murphy, telling him to keep his name out his mouth as Daniel Bryan looked on from backstage.

Elias busted Toronto’s balls but a spear from Edge, yes EDGE, put an end to the Drifter’s lip.

Alexa Bliss & Nikki Bella vs IIconics (Women’s Tag team championship match)

The match was fine but Alexa started to hear it from the crowd a bit at the end. I certainly think the IIconics were putting their best foot forward in their last matches. Bliss getting the pinfall is already old but it will play into the eventual break-up of the tag team with Nikki Cross.

  1. Becky Lynch vs. Natalya (Raw Women’s Championship, submission match)

  2. Great match to begin the main card with. Excellent match exactly the type of different match that needs to be booked this has looked nothing like anything this company has done in the last decade. Didn’t run too long and the match was a much needed change of pace.

  3. Becky retained in a crowd – backed scorcher.


  5. Goldberg vs. Dolph Ziggler

  6. Ziggler actually got two super kicks off but man was those spears and Jack hammer were nice. I am not sure where Ziggler goes from Monday Night Raw after his match with the Miz but he needs something new and different and in a hurry.

  7. Goldberg in a squash.



  10. AJ Styles vs. Ricochet (United States Championship)

  11. Best dressed goes to the One and Only!

  12. AJ worked the leg of Ricochet beautifully and Ricochet sold it like it was torn off. The match was grounded to not take too much away from the rest of the card going forward but told a great story. These men will steal the show at Clash of Champions in a rematch. The Club hit a magic killer to add insult to injury.

  13. Styles retains via an excellent counter into a Styles Clash thanks to help from the Club.



  16. Bayley vs. Ember Moon (SmackDown Women’s Championship)

  17. Bayley is one of the coldest acts on the roster. Crowd couldn’t possibly care about Bayley any less. Ember Moon looked great as always but the disdain for Bayley threw the whole match off. The “Bayley” song broke out briefly but the crowd was really flat for this one. An impressive showing from Ember and an evenly paced match.

  18. A Bayley to Belly from the top rope ended this bout; Bayley retains.


  20. Kevin Owens vs. Shane McMahon (Career Match for KO)

  21. Special enforcer Elias was a great way to gimmick the match, keeping things believablely in favor of Shane. Loved the interference, coupled with the added baiting from Elias and Shane to get KO to DQ himself and lose his job.

  22. KO wins after a low blow, securing his future with WWE.


  24. Trish Stratus vs. Charlotte Flair


  26. Really like what Charlotte was able to accomplish, the story told being the superior athlete and being “genetically superior as well. The sleeper hit of the night,earning a well deserved “this is awesome” chant.

  27. Charlotte is having one hell of a resurgence in her career, her victory over Trish Stratus has proven once again that she is one of the best in the business.



  30. Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton (WWE Championship)

  31. The champion dominated early but Orton always gains the upper hand. The match was fine but ended abruptly with Kofi getting DQed. Randy hit an RKO out of nowhere and the match shoulda ended there but Kofi rolled to the outside and Randy started to mess with Kofi’s family. Didn’t like that ending, also didn’t see it coming.

  32. Kofi retains via DQ.


  34. Finn Balor vs. “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt

  35. The Fiend’s lantern is the head of Bray Wyatt………

  36. There was also a simulated neck snap….

  37. Everything about Bray is extremely over with everyone. Finn looked strong with some key offense, the Fiend was just too much.

  38. The Fiend by mandible claw!


  40. Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins (Universal Championship)

  41. Seth wins!

  42. Brock brought his A game and the injured, broken but not defeated Seth Rollins slayed the beast once again. The match was the best Brock had put on since wrestling Eddie and Angle. Seth turned things up quite a bit before burning it all down with 3 Curb Stomps. Only Finn Balor looked as good against Brock in recent years. AJ and Bryan were playing the same undersized role with very little hope of winning Finn and Seth took it to Brock with excellent counters for his most devastating moves, the difference is Seth took and withstood more abuse and came away the victor. The crowd was on the fence but not against Seth but certainly against the match. The crowd liked both Seth and Brock and we’re split but the match got everyone exactly where the booking needed and wanted them to be.


  44. A+ PPV that over delivered on most matches. Only time the crowd wasn’t favorable was for Bayley and her match and the ending of Kofi/Orton. Best show of the year for WWE and yes it was better than NXT Takeover! I said it.
