After this Monday's disastrous episode of RAW, the red brand’s roster participated in a house show inside the TD Gardens, in Boston, Massachusetts this past Thursday. The show was hosted by RAW commentator Byron Saxton, with the announcing undertaken by JoJo.
Cesaro and Sheamus (c) vs. The New Day vs. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson for the RAW Tag Team Titles
The back-and-forth antics going on between Sheamus and Cesaro was considered to be one of the highlights of the evening.
Result: Cesaro and Sheamus def. The New Day
Big Cass w/ Enzo Amore vs. Rusev w/ Lana
Before the match, Lana did a promo, and later got ejected from the ringside. Big Cass took the pin after hitting Rusev with the Big Boot.
Result: Big Cass def. Rusev
Charlotte Flair, Dana Brooke & Nia Jax vs. Bayley, Sasha Banks & Liv Morgan in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match
As reported months earlier Liv Morgan started her post-holiday tour with the RAW brand, with this show. Morgan, the youngling from NXT, joined the former RAW Women’s Champion Sasha Banks, and Bayley against Charlotte, Dana Brooke, and Nia Jax. The match was pretty good.
The crowd seemed pretty into it. However, Liv Morgan who seemed pretty comfortable in the ring got no reaction from the crowd.
Result: Team Bayley def. Team Charlotte
Rich Swann (c) vs. Neville for the Cruiserweight Champion
Also, one of the best matches of the night. Rich Swann retained his title against Neville. Neville laid out Swann in the ring post-match.
Result: Swann def. Neville
Seth Rollins vs. Chris Jericho
After several back-and-forths, Rollins used the Pedigree and picked up the win. Rollins looked really awkward while trying to do the generic babyface routine i.e. making the crowd clap along with him etc.
Result: Seth Rollins def. Chris Jericho
Bo Dallas, Jinder Mahal, The Shining Stars, and Titus O'Neil vs. Darren Young, Curtis Axel, Sin Cara, and The Golden Truth in a Ten-Man Tag Team Match.
An incident took place in the closing moments of the match. After R-Truth pinned Bo Dallas, the referee immediately put out the X hand gesture, calling for a stretcher. The Babyfaces started celebrating their victory, however, no entrance theme was played after the completion of the match.
But, a few moments later the referee gave out a thumbs up sign, the R-Truth’s entrance music started playing, and then Bo Dallas got up and cut a promo, leading to the next match.
Result: Team Darren Young def. Team Bo Dallas
The Big Show vs. Bo Dallas
Bo Dallas after getting up, cut a promo, essentially declaring an Open Challenge to anyone present in the back. Out came the Big Show, who after the match started threw a knockout punch at Dallas and pinned him to pick up the win. Fans in the arena stated that Dallas left the arena by himself, and seemed fine.
Result: The Big Show def. Bo Dallas
Braun Strowman vs. Sami Zayn
Strowman after dominating the majority of the match defeated Zayn by using his finisher and picking up the win.
Result: Bruan Strowman def. Sami Zayn
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Kevin Owens for the United States Championship
Reigns defeated Owens, which is what almost everytime happens at these live events. The Big Dog was heavily cheered tonight, however, fans were witnessed to be leaving the arena well before the event got over.
Result: Roman Reigns def. Kevin Owens
Points to note:
1.) Liv Morgan, who got zero reactions from the crowd, needs to allow time to the audiences, so they can get used to her gimmick properly.
