AT ORACLE ARENA<br \/>\nREPORT BY BRANDON TANGUMA, PWTORCH CORRESPONDENT<\/h3>\n<p>A decent crowd for a <span data-term=\"goog_84281512\">Monday<\/span> house show. The upper deck was blocked off and a lot of empty seats opposite where the hard camera would be but the rest of the seats were pretty much full, I&#8217;d say about 6,000-7,000 in attendance. Dasha Fuentes was the host for the night and Greg Hamilton was the ring announcer.<\/p>\n<p>(1) American Alpha defeated Heath Slater &amp;\u00a0Rhyno and Breezango &amp;\u00a0The Usos to retain the Smackdown Tag Team Championship in a Fatal-Four Way Tag Match.\u00a0The Usos got the best reaction out of the four teams being born in San Francisco but they were able to turn the crowd against them. American Alpha didn&#8217;t get much of a reaction coming out but by the end of the match the crowd got behind them. Good opening match with a lot of action, Chad Gable pinned a Uso with the Grand Amplitude.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Apollo Crews pinned\u00a0Curt Hawkins.\u00a0Crews was selling a knee injury from the assault from Dolph Ziggler last night, he was the only one to sell anything from Elimination Chamber the entire night. Hawkins worked over the knee throughout the match, Crews won with a roll-up. The crowd didn&#8217;t care about this match.<\/p>\n<p>(3) Mojo Rawley pinned\u00a0Konnor (w\/Viktor).\u00a0You can count the number of bumps both guys took on one hand. Lots of punches and chinlocks. Mojo won with a corner splash.<\/p>\n<p>(4) Dean Ambrose defeated The Miz (w\/Maryse) and Baron Corbin and A.J Styles to the retain the Intercontinental championship in a Fatal Four-way match.\u00a0The Miz cut a promo before the match talking about he was responsible the elimination of Baron Corbin and Dean Ambrose. He said he was going to score an upset tonight like the Cavilers beating the Warriors which drew massive heat. Best match of the night by a mile with good near-falls, Dean Ambrose pinned the Miz with Dirty Deeds for the win.<\/p>\n<p>During the intermission, Dolph Ziggler cut a backstage promo about his match at Elimination Chamber and that he was going to beat Kalisto tonight.<\/p>\n<p>(5) Becky Lynch &amp;\u00a0Nikki Bella defeated Alexa Bliss &amp; Carmella (w\/James Ellsworth) &amp;\u00a0Natalya in a handicap match.\u00a0Nikki and Becky got good reactions coming back from the intermission. It was a decent match with everyone working hard; Ellsworth got involved by tripping Becky Lynch. Nikki got the hot tag, she hit Ellsworth with a forearm and pinned Carmela with the Rack Attack.<\/p>\n<p>(6) Dolph Ziggler pinned\u00a0Kalisto. Kalsito got a surprisingly good pop but the only reason was the kids liked to do the lucha chants. Ziggler came out wearing a Cavs shirt and a small Warriors chant started. The match was a little disappointing, with a slow start but the last five minutes really picked up. Ziggler won with a Zig-Zag, he held up his hands to make 3-1 continuing to troll the Warriors fans.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-503357135\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>(7) John Cena &amp;\u00a0Luke Harper defeated Bray Wyatt &amp;\u00a0Randy Orton in a tag-team match.\u00a0Orton got a great pop when his music played, Orton and Wyatt came out together and it looked like Cena&#8217;s side plates were still on the WWE Championship. Harper got no reaction and everyone was just waiting for Cena. John Cena got the loudest reaction of the night and it sounded about 70-30 pro Cena. The match was just what you&#8217;d expect, Haper took the beating while Cena was making goofy faces and running all around ringside looking for the tag. Cena got the hot tag and cleaned house, pinning Randy Orton with an AA to send the crowd home happy. It was weird seeing Luke Harper shaking hands fans with Cena after the match since the last time they came to the Bay Area he had just returned from injury to rejoin the Wyatts.<\/p>\n<p>FINAL THOUGHTS: An average house show but you can&#8217;t expect too much with this being a show in-between a PPV and Smackdown. The crowd was pretty loud for being a house show that was full of families. They reacted big to the stars but were quiet for the matches with the undercard guys such as Mojo, Crews, and Kalisto. No return date was announced but last year they came in\u00a0February and they returned in October.<\/p>\n<p>BIGGEST POPS&#8230;<br \/>\nJohn Cena<br \/>\nRandy Orton<br \/>\nDean Ambrose<\/p>\n<p>MOST HEAT&#8230;<br \/>\nCleveland Cavaliers<br \/>\nThe Miz<br \/>\nThe Usos<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THIS PREVIOUS REPORT:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2017\/02\/07\/23-wwe-raw-broomfield-conn-big-show-replaces-seth-main-event-charlotte-bayley-neville-cedric-braun-sami-new-day-golden-truth\/\">2\/3 WWE Raw in Broomfield, Conn.: Big Show replaces Seth in main event, Charlotte-Bayley, Neville-Cedric, Braun-Sami, New Day, Golden Truth, more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-258901443\"><div id=\"pwtor-3190700561\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE LIVE EVENT &#8211; SMACKDOWN BRAND FEBRUARY 13, 2017 OAKLAND, CALIF.
