It\u2019s a journey a lot of locals would skip if they didn\u2019t have to.\u00a0Onto the show&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Seth Rollins and Sasha Banks were advertised, but didn\u2019t make the show. Assuming it might have been a flight issue, but not sure.\u00a0 Instead of Rollins vs. Bobby Lashley for the Intercontinental Championship, Finlay came out as the authority figure and made a match between Finn Balor, Drew McIntyre, Dean Ambrose and Lashley as a Fatal Four-way.<\/p>\n<p>As a replacement for Sasha, Natalya came out as Bayley\u2019s surprise tag team partner &#8211; a great sub here in the frozen Canadian tundra.<\/p>\n<p>Something really stood out to me about tonight though:<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s no secret Dean Ambrose is leaving, he performed as professionally as one could.\u00a0 The show needed him to work as a face, so he did.\u00a0 He cut a great opening promo, and worked as though he was still interested in giving the best he could.\u00a0 Even though he took the pin, he was quite enjoyable and made me realize how big of a star he could have been.<\/p>\n<p>Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush announce Rollins is not in attendance.\u00a0 Enter Ambrose, McIntyre, and Balor all wanting a shot at the Intercontinental Title.\u00a0 Finlay came out and announced the main event will be a Fatal Four-way for the title.<\/p>\n<p>(1) Bobby\u00a0Roode &amp; Chad Gable beat The Revival to retain the WWE Raw Tag Team Titles.\u00a0Dash Wilder openly yelled, \u201cLet me go! Release Me!\u201d during the Revival\u2019s entrance.\u00a0 At first I laughed, but as I watched Gable run the game, Roode work as the wiley veteran, and even Dawson do his best to perform, Wilder\u2019s comments reflected his performance. I\u2019m not saying he was terrible, but with five people in there (refs matter, dammit!), it was clear he just doesn\u2019t want to be there.\u00a0 It was disappointing as this was the first time I got to see the Revival up close and was looking forward to it.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Nikki Cross defeated Tamina via quick roll up.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3270915843\" 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>(3) Apollo Crews defeated Elias.

This ended with triple sharpshooters applied by Bayley and Nattie.<\/p>\n<p>(7) Bobby Lashley (w\/Lio Rush) defeated Dean Ambrose and Finn Balor and Drew McIntyre when he pinned Ambrose to retain the Intercontinental Championship.\u00a0Post-match shenanigans saw Lashley attack Balor, only for Finn to turn things around and hit the Coup de Gras to send the fans home happy.<\/p>\n<p>Ring announcer: Dasha Fuentes<br \/>\nAttendance: (Pre walk-up numbers) 3500<br \/>\nShow length: 2.5 hrs<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2019\/01\/31\/1-30-nxt-tv-taping-results-spoilers-more-fluid-segments-veteran-wrestler-references-other-options-alternate-endings-filmed-for-main-event\/\">1\/30 NXT TV TAPING RESULTS (Spoilers): More fluid segments, veteran wrestler references \u201cother options,\u201d alternate endings filmed for main event<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2211526870\"><div id=\"pwtor-4237339243\"><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 FEBRUARY 1, 2019 SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA REPORT BY MIKE MCGUIRE, PWTORCH CORRESPONDENT First, I want to give major props to the WWE crew that braved the Saskatchewan cold to bring two shows <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2019\/02\/02\/2-1-wwe-in-saskatchewan-lashley-vs-ambrose-vs-mcintyre-vs-balor-bayley-natalya-vs-riott-squad-roode-gable-vs-the-revival\/\" title=\"2\/1 WWE in Saskatchewan: Lashley vs. Ambrose vs. McIntyre vs. Balor, Bayley &#038; Natalya vs. Riott Squad, Roode &#038; Gable vs. The Revival\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":68631,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-results","category-results_houseshows"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2018\/10\/AmbroseDeanBrandonLeClair_3x2_600.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74539"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74539\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":74543,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74539\/revisions\/74543"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
