The Superstars of SmackDown set up shop in Bridgeport, Connecticut, for a house show that featured a WWE Championship match between AJ Styles and Jinder Mahal in the main event. With any further ado, here are the results from the show (Courtesy of Wrestling Inc):
#1 Breezango vs. American Alpha vs. The Colons
This was a relatively lacklustre opener, and the crowd wasn’t particularly interested in any of the teams involved. The wrestling was solid, but there weren’t any spots to write home about. Breezango picked up a routine victory.
Result: Breezango def. American Alpha and The Colons
#2 Tye Dillinger vs. Aiden English
Tye Dillinger received a decent pop from the audience, but the bout was bogged down by chants of “ this is stupid”. The Perfect 10 picked up the victory with a Tye-breaker.
Result: Tye Dillinger def. Aiden English
#3 Luke Harper vs. Erick Rowan
This was a rather poor match. Both men botched several moves and never managed to build any momentum. Luke Harper picked up the victory with a black hole slam. The most noteworthy talking point from this whole affair was the debut of Erick Rowan’s new mask.
Result: Luke Harper def. Erick Rowan
#4 Sami Zayn & Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Kevin Owens & Baron Corbin
All four men received huge ovations, but it was Nakamura who got the biggest pop of the night. Corbin set the tempo early on and hit Sami Zayn with an End of Days into the guardrail. By the time the King of Strong Style pinned Kevin Owens with a Kinshasha, there was no question that this was the match of the night.
Result: Sami Zayn & Shinsuke Nakamura def. Kevin Owens & Baron Corbin
#5 Mojo Rawley & Sin Cara vs. The Ascension
This was another bad match that failed to capture the crowd’s attention. Viktor botched a hurricanrana and appeared to land awkwardly on his neck, but he managed to recover and finished the match. This was easily the poorest bout of the night.
Result: Mojo Rawley & Sin Cara def. The Ascension
#6 Naomi & Becky Lynch vs. Natalya, Carmella & Tamina
Naomi was incredibly popular with the Bridgetown crowd and arguably received the biggest reaction of the night. Even though Tamina appeared to have put her team in control, the reigning SmackDown LIVE Women’s Champion put on a strong showing and pinned Natalya to secure the victory.
Result: Naomi & Becky Lynch def. Natalya, Carmella & Tamina
#7 AJ Styles vs. Jinder Mahal
The newly crowned WWE Champion defended his title against the best wrestler in the company, AJ Styles. The Phenomenal One appeared to have Jinder Mahal on the ropes, but the Maharaja got himself disqualified to hold on to the title.
Result: AJ Styles defeated Jinder Mahal via DQ
