WWE had a live event at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida this past Sunday. The event saw The New Day defend their WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship in a triple-threat tag team match, Bayley defending her SmackDown Women's Championship and 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt defending his Universal Championship against Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura.

Now, we will take a look at the results of all the seven matches from the live show -


#1 The New Day (c) vs. Heavy Machinery vs. The Revival [WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship match]

Big E and Kofi Kingston defended their SmackDown Tag Team Championship in a triple-threat tag match against Heavy Machinery and The Revival. In what turned out to be an eventful match, The New Day successfully retained their titles.

Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder berated the crowd at Daytona and their opponents before the match started, and after the bell rang were met with blows from The New Day and Heavy Machinery. In the second half of the match, Big E pinned Tucker to win the match. The New Day will, however, defend their titles against The Revival at WWE TLC.

Result: The New Day defeated Heavy Machinery and The Revival to retain the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship


#2 Nikki Cross vs. Sasha Banks

Nikki Cross squared off against Sasha Banks in a grudge match at Daytona. The Boss started the match by disrespecting Cross but was soon pushed back when Cross rallied back with blows of her own.

After a few back and forth shots, Cross shocked everyone by picking up a victory over Banks.

Result: Nikki Cross defeated Sasha Banks


#3 Mustafa Ali vs. Cesaro

Mustafa Ali took on Cesaro in a match which can be said was the best match of the night. The Swiss Cyborg started things by slugging it out with Ali until the Cruiserweight rallied back with high-speed offenses.

Ali defeated the former United States Champion innovatively. When he attempted to perform a 450 splash on Cesaro, the latter dodged and lifted Ali in the air to knock him out with a European uppercut. However, Ali reversed it and took out Cesaro with a Tornado DDT.

Result: Mustafa Ali defeated Cesaro

#4 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt (c) vs. Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura [Steel Cage match for the WWE Universal Championship]

'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt defended his WWE Universal Championship in a steel cage match against the Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura who was accompanied to the ring by his manager, WWE Superstar Sami Zayn. The King of Strong Style tried his best to knock down The Fiend with his stiff shots but he kept coming back every time.

As expected, Wyatt won the match to retain his title after he defeated Nakamura with the Mandible Claw. After the match, Sami Zayn tried to put away The Fiend through a table but instead found himself going through it.

Result: 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt defeated Shinsuke Nakamura to retain the WWE Universal Championship


#5 Shorty G vs. Drew Gulak

Shorty G took on the former NXT Cruiserweight Champion Drew Gulak in a hard-hitting bout. The Philadelphia Stretcher tried to insult Shorty G early on in the match but soon found himself to be on the receiving end of Shorty G's offense.

The former tag team champion showed his technical prowess and outperformed Gulak to win the match.

Result: Shorty G defeated Drew Gulak


#6 Bayley (c) vs. Carmella [WWE SmackDown Women's Championship match]

The SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley defended her title against Carmella. Before the match, Bayley derided the WWE Universe at Daytona Beach who kept reminding her that she tapped out to NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler at WWE Survivor Series.

Carmella looked forward to becoming a two-time SmackDown Women's Champion but Bayley kept The Princess of Staten Island at bay and defeated her.

Result: Bayley defeated Carmella to retain the SmackDown Women's Championship


#7 Roman Reigns vs. King Corbin

Roman Reigns took on his rival King Corbin in the main event. The Big Dog started unloading on Corbin the moment the bell rang and didn't allow the 2019 King of the Ring winner to rally back for a considerable amount of time.

However, when Corbin tried to hit Reigns with his scepter, Reigns dodged and hit him with a Superman punch and followed it up with the Spear for the pinfall victory.

Result: Roman Reigns defeated King Corbin
