Very small crowd. I would say 2,500 at Oracle Arena where the Golden State Warriors play. Most of floor full, but lots of empty seats in stands.

(1) The Bar (Cesaro & Sheamus) beat The Usos and The New Day to retain the Raw Tag Team Titles.

Samoa Joe was about to wrestle Jeff Hardy, but Joe choked out Hardy before the match could start.

(2) Naomi & Lana defeated The IIconics (Peyton Royce & Billie Kaye) when Naomi pinned Royce. Something happened to Kay’s mouth at the end; she appeared injured.

(3) R-Truth pinned Shelton Benjamin.

(4) Andrade Cien Almas & Zelina Vega beat R-Truth & Carmella. Carmella rapped, aimed at Zelina.

(5) Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Rusev and Randy Orton to retain the U.S. Title. Orton as a heel was the most over. Rusev surprisingly didn’t get many cheers during the match. Orton hit an RKO out of nowhere on Rusev, but then Nakamura entered the ring and “stole” the pin from Orton to get the win.

(6) Jeff Hardy pinned Samoa Joe in a re-do of the match that didn’t start earlier. Hardy was very gracious with the fans after the match.

(7) Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson beat Carlito & Primo Colon when Anderson scored the pin.

(8) Charlotte wrestled Asuka to a no contest when Becky Lynch attacked both of them.

(9) A.J. Styles pinned Miz. Good match. Miz worked the crowd as a heel in beginning. Styles won with the Phenomenal Forearm for the win.
