AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN<br \/>\nREPORT BY MIKE OMANSKY, PWTORCH CORRESPONDENT<\/h3>\n<p>Crowd: Estimated 10,000 range (not close to a sellout)<\/p>\n<p>(1) SHINSUKE NAKAMURA defeated DOLPH ZIGGLER. Nakamura finished Ziggler with a Kinshasa Kick. \u00a0Very good match. Nakamura was over\u00a0with crowd.<\/p>\n<p>(2) R-TRUTH pinned GOLDUST with a &#8220;What&#8217;s Up.&#8221; \u00a0Lackluster, crowd not into it.<\/p>\n<p>(3) \u00a0NEVILLE pinned CEDRIC ALEXANDER with his feet on apron to retain his Cruiserweight Title. The finish came after Alexander missed a corner move.\u00a0They both worked hard. The crowd warmed up to match after a while.<\/p>\n<p>(4) SETH ROLLINS &amp; DEAN AMBROSE beat THE MIZ (w\/Maryse) &amp; SAMOA JOE in an excellent tag match. Ambrose pinned Miz after Dirty Deeds\u00a0while Rollins held Joe&#8217;s leg to keep him from interfering. \u00a0Some good double-teaming by both teams along the way. Non-stop action.\u00a0Prior to match, Miz said he refused to put up the IC Title at MSG because this is where the NY Knicks play (originally was supposed to be singles matches,\u00a0Miz vs. Ambrose for title; Joe vs. Rollins). \u00a0All four moved well.<\/p>\n<p>(5) AJ STYLES pinned KEVIN OWENS after a Styles Clash to win the U.S. Title. \u00a0Very solid match as usual. \u00a0Owens landed his Popup Powerbomb, but\u00a0Styles kicked out to cheers. \u00a0After the match, big ovation for the Styles title win. Best match of the night.<\/p>\n<p>(6) SASHA BANKS &amp; BAILEY &amp; MICKIE JAMES defeated EMMA &amp; ALEXA BLISS &amp; NIA JAXX. \u00a0Not too long, good action. Banks over Emma with the Bank Statement.<\/p>\n<p>(7) FINN BALOR defeated KARL ANDERSON (w\/Luke Gallows) in about a minute. He landed a Coup de Grace before scoring the pin. Good action from Balor, albeit brief.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1787563430\" 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>(8) SHEAMUS &amp; CAESARO defeated THE HARDY BOYZ when Cesaro pined Jeff to retain the Raw Tag Team Titles. The Hardyz didn&#8217;t see the heels tag. Cesaro ran in to surprise Jeff.<\/p>\n<p>(9)ROMAN REIGNS pinned BRAY WYATT after a spear. \u00a0Wyatt dominated, and was often cheered. Reigns heavily booed.\u00a0After the match, BRAUN STROWMAN ran in and attacked Reigns. \u00a0Cedric Alexander ran in, but got tossed out. R-Truth ran in, then got tossed out. Seth Rollins ran in and had<br \/>\nStrowman going, but Wyatt popped up and stopped him. \u00a0As Wyatt was about to give Rollins his Sister Abigail, Reigns recovered, knocked Wyatt down, and speared Strowman to end the show.<\/p>\n<p>Return date: Tues. Dec. 26th &#8212; presale code for Ticketmaster: HOLIDAY<\/p>\n<p>FINAL THOUGHTS: Very strong show. \u00a0Camera man at ringside whole show, presumably\u00a0recording it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>If you attend a live event from any promotion anywhere in the world, send a report similar to the one above to pwtorch@pwtorch.com.
