AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN<br \/>\nREPORT BY MIKE OMANSKY, PWTORCH CORRESPONDENT<\/h3>\n<p>-The crowd was just shy of a sell-out.\u00a0 Packed, with one smaller upper section not sold.<\/p>\n<p>-Return date announced: <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_10876252\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Friday, July 7. T<\/span><\/span>ickets on sale today with presale code:\u00a0 NYCWWE<\/p>\n<p>-Partial stage used for entrances.<\/p>\n<p>-Shane McMahon\u00a0came out\u00a0first to open the show. He said\u00a0hasn&#8217;t been in an MSG ring for eight years. A.J. Styles\u00a0walked out and complained that\u00a0he should have the WrestleMania title match.\u00a0 Shane said\u00a0he has had\u00a0many opportunities and can have one more right now. He said he has\u00a0a match.<\/p>\n<p>(1) Randy Orton beat A.J. Styles with an RKO and a pin.\u00a0Same finish as TV this week with Styles leaping\u00a0from outside of the ring.\u00a0 Solid match, fans into both men.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Rhyno &amp; Heath Slater &amp; Kalisto beat Breezango (Tyler Breeze &amp; Fandango) &amp; Curt Hawkins ending when Rhyno gored and pinned Breeze. Good action.<\/p>\n<p>(3) Dolph Ziggler beat Apollo Crews after a rake of the eyes and a kick. Not much to this.<\/p>\n<p>(4) Dean Ambrose beat The Miz and Baron Corbin and Luke Harper when Dean pinned The Miz with Dirty Deeds.\u00a0Great action, some occasional alliances, but mostly ever man for himself.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3893134861\" 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>(5) Brock Lesnar pinned\u00a0Kevin Owens after\u00a0an F5 at just 2:13. Big pop for the pin. Owens\u00a0attacked Brock as he was\u00a0removing his shirt and started attacking, including a cannonball in the corner. Lesnar then blocked him and hit a\u00a0series of suplexes.<\/p>\n<p>(6) Nikki Bella &amp; Becky Lynch &amp; Tamina Snuka &amp; Asuka beat Mickie James &amp; Alexa Bliss &amp; Natalya &amp; Carmella (w\/James Ellsworth) when Asuka submitted Carmella. Fast action.<\/p>\n<p>(7) American Alpha beat The Usos to retain the WWE Raw Tag Team Titles. Nothing special.<\/p>\n<p>(8) Bray Wyatt pinned John Cena to retain the WWE Universal Title in 24:00. Wild match.\u00a0Great back and forth action, each man kicking out of the other&#8217;s finishers. Wyatt finally seemed to knock Cena out. Then he grabbed the belt, laughed, and started to leave but got counted out. Shane McMahon walked out and ordered the match to restart with no DQ rules. That led to tables, fighting in the crowd, and use of chairs. Ultimately, Wyatt won with a low blow and a pin.\u00a0After match, Wyatt wanted to put Cena through a table, but Cena recovered\u00a0and gave Bray an AA through a table.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THIS RECENT\u00a0REPORT:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2017\/02\/27\/226-wwe-cedar-rapids-iowa-wyatt-vs-cena-vs-corbin-vs-harper-american-alpha-vs-usos-vs-breezango\/\">2\/26 WWE in Cedar Rapids, Iowa: Wyatt vs. Cena vs. Corbin vs. Harper, American Alpha vs. The Usos vs. Breezango<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><strong>Please send any news tips and results to: pwtorch@gmail.com.<\/strong>\u00a0For instance, let us know if you hear a pro wrestling reference on a popular talk show, see a pro wrestling related Tweet or Instagram from celebrity, hear an ad for matches advertised for an upcoming WWE event, or anything else pro wrestling related that\u2019d be of interest to our readers.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>If you attend a live event, please send results.<\/strong>\u00a0We don\u2019t set up correspondents ahead of time and count on readers like you to send an email with a report on live events you attend \u2013 not just WWE, but also ROH, NXT, international groups. and anything else.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2880012432\"><div id=\"pwtor-365044826\"><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 REPORT &#8211; RAW &amp; SMACKDOWN MARCH 12, 2017 NEW YORK CITY, N.Y.
