The WWE continued their tour of Europe and it was the red brand, Monday Night RAW, which had a live house show in Belfast, Norther Ireland. The house show was one of the most entertaining live events in recent WWE history.
The event featured most RAW main talents such as Dean Ambrose, The Hardy Boyz’, Seth Rollins and so on. It also featured some of the WWE’s UK talents, who, surprisingly, were the most entertaining of all. The house show saw Ambrose kick off the event with a title defence against the ‘A-lister’ The Miz, and Finn Balor face off against Bray Wyatt in the main event.
Things got a little out of hand in Belfast half way through the event, thanks to the surprise entrance of one Braun Strowman.
#1 Dean Ambrose vs. The Miz
WWE Live Belfast kicked off with the Intercontinental title defence from Dean Ambrose against The Miz. The two have been feuding ever since they moved to RAW thanks to the Superstar shakeup. This match saw the ‘Lunatic Fringe’ Dean Ambrose prevail over The Miz.
Result: Dean Ambrose retained title over The Miz
#2 Sasha Banks, Bayley and Mickie James vs. Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax and Emma
This matchup saw Sasha Banks, Bayley and Mickie James come out on top against RAW Women’s champion Alexa Bliss and her teammates Nia Jex and Emma. This match was highly entertaining, with both sides giving it their best. The fans loved every bit of it.

#4 Hardy Boyz’, Sheamus & Cesaro, Enzo & Cass and Anderson & Gallows in a four-man tag team match
The Hardy Boyz entered the ring to a huge roar from the crowd. The match was excellent and all the teams involved in the fatal-four way were in top form. The Hardy Boyz, as expected, came out on top and kept their tag team titles.
Result: The Hardy Boyz' retained their title over Sheamus & Cesaro, Enzo & Cass and Anderson & Gallows
#5 Tucker vs. Jordan Devlin
On paper, this match seemed the most boring of the lot and it would have been so if not for the interference of the 'Monster Among Men'. Braun Strowman entered the ring and took out both men and the match ended in a no contest.
Things seemed to go in favour of Strowman until Roman Reigns entered the ring and speared him through a table. So in reality, it was actually a match between the ‘Big Dog’ and the ‘Monster Among Men’.
Result: Match ended as a no contest because of Braun Strowman's interference
#6 Golden Truth and Rhyno & Slater vs. Titus O’Neil, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel and Curt Hawkins

Result: Golden Truth and Rhyno & Slater defeated Titus O’Neil, Bo Dallas. Curtis Axel and Curt Hawkins.
