Edmonton, Alb., Canada
Report by Adam Patrick D., PWTorch reader
Eden was the ring announcer. Local radio personality, Yukon Jack, warmed up the crowd before the national anthem.
(1) R-Truth beat Fandango. Standard opener, nothing special.
(2) Tyson Kidd & Diego & El Torito beat Titus O'Neil & Heath Slater & Hornswoggle in a six-man tag team match. Good comedy ending when Torito pinned 'Swoggle. Tyson Kidd had good hometown cheers.
(3) IC champion The Miz beat Kofi Kingston to retain the Intercontinental Championship. Way too much stalling for a house show match. The action didn't really start until about 10 minutes in with Miz faking an injury.
(4) WWE tag champs The Usos beat The Wyatt Family (Luke Harper & Erick Rowan) to retain the Tag Team Championships. Good action; the Usos were over.

(5) Natalya & Emma beat Rosa Mendes & Alicia Fox in a Divas tag match with Eva Marie as guest referee. The finish appeared to be botched by the timekeeper, who rang the bell errantly.
(6) Big Show beat Cesaro. Show was over! The crowd absolutely loved him. He won with a chokeslam.
(7) Main Event: Chris Jericho beat Bray Wyatt. The Wyatt Family and Usos got involved. Jericho won with a codebreaker with a chair. Jericho was majorly over.
Good show for a split roster. I have to say, though, that it was really disappointing considering how much merchandise was available for John Cena (and other non-attending superstars), when he was not going to be at the show. You get the feeling a little bit of magic is lost with these kids when Cena doesn't do these house show circuits. Especially when in-house commercials still use him to promote almost everything, and the WWE may only come to your town once every year or two. That's my two cents.
