(6) Women’s champion Sasha Banks beat Charlotte via Bank Statement.

(7) Sami Zayn beat Kevin Owens. Only a 10-minute match, but fast and high quality. Both Zayn and Owens really over with the crowd – both drawing big cheers. Owens even had to get on the microphone after Zayn had left the arena to tell the crowd “I hope we never come back to Melbourne” to try to draw some heat.

(8) John Cena beat A.J. Styles in a 23-minute match. A bit slow at times, with both getting good pops from the crowd. Anderson and Gallows came out and attacked Cena after the ref got knocked out, but Cena cleared them both out of the ring and hit the AA as the ref recovered.
