Thanks!<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Show was from 7:30-10:30 CST<\/p>\n<p>(1) Finn Balor defeated Baron Corbin.\u00a0Regular Finn, no Demon.\u00a0 Corbin was dressed in full &#8220;Constable Corbin&#8221; heel mode and taunting the crowd.\u00a0 This match lasted a while with Corbin getting in just about all of the offense. Finn took a beating and got a rollup victory out of nowhere.\u00a0 Corbin restarted the match with his constable powers, also making it no DQ.\u00a0 He gets the jump on a still-ailing Finn, brings in a chair, and hits Finn leading to an End of Days and pin.\u00a0 He called us hillbillies.\u00a0 This was a good match, but I missed seeing the Coup de Gras.\u00a0 I think I saw this match on Raw last week.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Cedric Alexander defeated Buddy Murphy to retain the Cruiserweight Title.\u00a0This match was below the caliber I expect from these guys. Cedric hit a Lumbar Check for the win.<\/p>\n<p>(3) Chad Gable &amp; Bobby Roode defeated Jinder Mahal &amp; Mojo Rawley.\u00a0This match was a lot of fun, to my surprise.\u00a0 Mojo came out and taunted the audience.\u00a0 He has &#8220;go away heat&#8221; for sure. Sunil Singh introduced Jinder.\u00a0 Really great entrance and imposing guy.\u00a0 Jinder got on the mic and told Mojo that he needs to be less hype and be more like him.\u00a0 Then Jinder made Mojo sit in the ring and chant his matra as they meditated.\u00a0 Mojo was agitated and it was hilarious.\u00a0 Gable took a beating the whole match and finally hot-tagged Roode.\u00a0 Roode hit the Glorious DDT for the victory.\u00a0 The crowd was really in to Gable.<\/p>\n<p>(4) Drew McIntyre &amp; Dolph Ziggler defeated Matt Hardy &amp; Bray Wyatt and The B-Team to retain the WWE Raw Tag Team Titles.\u00a0Lots of B-Team love. The crowd was into Curtis Axel, who was really hamming it up.\u00a0 Lots of &#8220;B-Team&#8221; chants and &#8220;Delete&#8221; chants.\u00a0 Dolph and Drew hit the Zig Zag\/Claymore finisher for the win.<\/p>\n<p>Intermission for 15 minutes at least<\/p>\n<p>(5) Kevin Owens defeated Zack Ryder.\u00a0KO was great on the mic before the match.\u00a0 He told the crowd that his friend Sami Zayn had been in Birmingham for surgeries and that it was the worst town he&#8217;d ever been in. He ripped on us a few more times.\u00a0 The match was over pretty quickly.\u00a0 Pop-up power bomb, 1-2-3.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-790301985\" 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>(6) Ember Moon &amp; Natalya &amp; Sasha &amp; Bailey defeated Alexa Bliss &amp; Alicia Fox &amp; Liv Morgan &amp; Sarah Logan.\u00a0Alexa Bliss acted disinterested in performing. Alicia Fox was talking trash to the crowd.\u00a0 Ember Moon had the best pops.\u00a0 Bailey took a beating for while.\u00a0 Bliss got in the ring literally for one punch and tagged out and that was her night.\u00a0 Ember Moon hit an Eclipse for the win.<\/p>\n<p>(7) Roman Reigns defeated Braun Strowman for Universal Title.\u00a0The crowd went bananas for Roman.\u00a0 Braun had a lot of heat.\u00a0 Good back and forth.\u00a0 Braun was tempted to crush Roman&#8217;s skull between the steel steps, but the ref threatened to DQ him.\u00a0 Shortly after that Roman hits multiple Superman Punches.\u00a0 Roman lined up for a spear when Drew and Dolph ran into the ring causing DQ.\u00a0 They took a beating for a while; then The Shield music hit.\u00a0 Seth and Dean ran out.\u00a0 The Shield stood tall.\u00a0 Strowman stumbled to the back.\u00a0 They brought Dolph and a table in to the ring and triple powerbombed Dolph through the table.\u00a0 The table didn&#8217;t break! \u00a0The crowd chanted &#8220;One more time!&#8221; over and over.\u00a0 Electric crowd.\u00a0 Drew crawled into the ring to sacrifice himself.\u00a0 Another table was brought in.\u00a0 Drew&#8217;s back disintegrated the table!<\/p>\n<p>FINAL THOUGHTS: My wife and I really enjoyed this show.\u00a0 Maybe 3,000 in attendance if I&#8217;m being generous.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>If you attend a live event, please send results in the format of the following report to <a href=\"mailto:pwtorch@pwtorch.com\">pwtorch@pwtorch.com<\/a>.
