The latest RAW exclusive live event came to us from Buffalo, New York. The main event of the night was a six man tag team match featuring the likes of Sami Zayn, Chris Jericho, Triple H, Samoa Joe, Kevin Owens and the returning Finn Balor.
Elsewhere on the card, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson defended their RAW Tag Team Championships against The New Day and Sheamus & Cesaro, while Charlotte challenged Bayley for her RAW Women's Championship. Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman also renewed their rivalry from Fastlane as they faced each other in an exciting encounter.
Overall a star-studded show that lived up to its hype.
#1. Big Cass vs. Jinder Mahal (Singles match)
This was perhaps a sluggish way to kickstart the party in Buffalo. Big Cass inspired a huge reaction from the crowd, while Jinder Mahal walked down to the ring in absolute silence. Cass dominated the entire match and finished it with the same fluency.
Result: Big Cass defeated Jinder Mahal
#2. Neville vs. Rich Swann (Singles match for the Cruiserweight Championship)
This was once again a solid outing for the Cruiserweights, regardless of the fact that it was pretty much the same match that was featured on the latest episode of Monday Night RAW. Nonetheless, the King of Cruiserweights made a substantial impact in the weeks leading up to Mania.
Results: Neville retained
#3. Sasha Banks & Alicia Fox vs. Nia Jax and Dana Brooke (Tag Team match)
Another feel good match up for the crowd maybe? Sasha Banks was well received by the Buffalo fans, while Nia Jax looked as dominant as ever. As for others... well they were ordinary!
Result: Sasha Banks & Alicia Fox won
#4. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs. The New Day vs. Sheamus and Cesaro (Triple Threat Tag Team match for the RAW Tag Titles )
This was one of the better matches of the night. Gallows and Anderson are finally looking like the bruisers everybody wanted them to be from the day they signed up with WWE. In the end, Gallows and Anderson won the match cleany. Good stuff from the tag team division of the red brand.
After the match, Sheamus was seen dancing in the middle of the ring while Cesaro and The New Day cheered him on!
Result: Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson retained
#5 Brock Lesnar vs. Big Show (Singles match)
The battle of the giants has always been amongst the most intriguing matchups in pro wrestling, and this was no different. It was a close fight before Lesnar decimated Big Show with an F5 in the center of the ring.
Result: Brock Lesnar won via pinfall
#6 Bayley vs. Charlotte (Singles match for the RAW Women's Championship)
This was a solid outing for the women of the red brand. Bayley and Charlotte literally tore the house down! This was the match that brought the crowd back to life. In the end, Bayley managed to hold off the queen with a Belly to Bayley.
Result: Bayley retained
#7 Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman (Singles match)
The two men renewed their rivalry from Fastlane in what turned out to be a great match. Strowman dominated throughout the bout, but needless to say, The Big Dog jus kept coming back. Other than that, there was nothing worth mentioning from this matchup.
Result: Roman Reigns defeated Braun Strowman
#8 Sami Zayn, Finn Balor & Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe & Triple H (Six Man Tag Team match)
This was an amazing way to end a night of great wrestling. Finn Balor and Triple H made their much-anticipated returns to the ring. Each of the six Superstars had their moments, however, it was Chris Jericho who sealed the victory for his team with a Code Breaker to Kevin Owens.
Result: Sami Zayn, Finn Balor & Chris Jericho defeated Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe & Triple H
