The Superstars of SmackDown LIVE performed live in front of the WWE Universe at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. Jinder Mahal and Shinsuke Nakamura headlined the event in a singles match for the WWE World Championship.
AJ Styles and Kevin Owens co-headlined the event in a singles match for the United States Championship.
The rest of the card featured a Six-Women Tag Team Match, a Last Man Standing Match, a Tag Team Match for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships, and much more.
So, without any further ado, here are the results from WWE's live event in Honolulu, Hawaii.
#1 The New Day (c) vs Baron Corbin & Dolph Ziggler for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships
The show started with a tag team match for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. The New Day's Big E & Kofi defended their tag titles against the team of Baron Corbin & Dolph Ziggler. The football coach for the University of Hawaii Nick Rolovich was ringside for this match as a guest.
This bout kept the crowd on its feet by including a ton of comedic spots. At one point, Baron Corbin grabbed a mock Money in the Bank briefcase from a fan, thus leading the crowd to give him a huge pop.
During the match, Kofi seemed to have hurt his knee after slipping off the top rope, thus making him limp around. However, Kofi trudged ahead and finished off the match.
In the end, The New Day got the win via the Midnight Hour.
Post-match, Nick Rolovich awarded Hawaiian Quarterback Hunter Hughes a football scholarship. Also, Kofi had to be helped backstage.
Result: The New Day def. Baron Corbin & Dolph Ziggler to retain the SmackDown Tag Team Championships
#2 Luke Harper vs Erick Rowan
In the second match of the evening, Luke Harper took on Erick Rowan in one-on-one singles competition. Both Superstars put on a very dull showing, with the crowd almost devoid of any energy they had from the exciting opening match.
In the end, Luke Harper won by pinning Erick Rowan after nailing him with the Discus Clothesline.
Result: Luke Harper def. Erick Rowan
#3 Sami Zayn vs Aiden English
"The Underdog from the Underground" Sami Zayn took on "The Drama King" Aiden English in what was the third match of the evening.
Zayn received a huge pop from the Hawaiian crowd, while English, on the other hand, received mega heat after he sang a song disparaging the Honolulu crowd during his entrance.
Zayn won the match by pinning English after knocking him out with the Helluva Kick.
Result: Sami Zayn def. Aiden English
#4 Randy Orton vs Rusev in a Last Man Standing Match
In the fourth match of the evening, Randy Orton took on Rusev in a Last Man Standing Match. Since this is traditionally a no-DQ match, Orton and Rusev used a litany of weapons to take down each other.
Orton and Rusev used lethal weapons such as Kendo Sticks, Steel Chairs, and Steel Steps to name a few, to take down each other for the 10-count.
In the final moments of the match, Orton sent Rusev crashing through a table before nailing him with the RKO for the 10-count. Orton, clearly the fan-favourite, got a massive pop from the crowd after winning the match.
Result: Randy Orton def. Rusev
#5 Charlotte Flair, Naomi & Becky Lynch (w/ Asuka) vs SmackDown Women's Champion Natalya, Lana, Tamina & Carmella (w/ James Ellsworth) in a 4-on-3 Handicap Tag Team Match
Post-intermission, the babyfaces of SmackDown LIVE's Women's Division took on the heels in a 4-3 Handicap Tag Team Match.
Charlotte Flair did all the heavy-lifting in this contest. For some reason, former NXT Superstar Asuka was ringside in a sling. The crowd gave her a massive pop. What else can you expect for WWE's female Goldberg?
The match turned out to be a pretty short affair as Naomi pinned Lana after hitting her with the Rear View.
Result: Charlotte Flair, Naomi & Becky Lynch def. Natalya, Lana, Tamina & Carmella
#6 AJ Styles (c) vs Kevin Owens for the United States Championship
The semi-main event of the evening was a singles match between AJ Styles and Kevin Owens for the United States Championship. The two put on a PPV worthy performance.
They performed a lot of high-spots and did a lot of near falls. The speed at which Owens and Styles were going made it seem like it was either wrestler's game.
However, in the end, Styles won the match by pinning Owens after walloping him with the Phenomenal Forearm, thus sending the crowd happy into the main event.
Result: AJ Styles def. Kevin Owens to retain the United States Championship
#7 Jinder Mahal (c) (w/ The Singh Brothers) vs Shinsuke Nakamura for the WWE World Championship
In the main event of the evening, Jinder Mahal defended his WWE World Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura. Shinsuke, unlike WWE's last tour in Hawaii, received a huge pop from the crowd. The Hawaiian crowd sang along with his theme music.
Both Superstars worked hard and put on a solid match. In the final moments of the contest, Nakamura setup Jinder for the Kinshasa, but the conniving Singh Brothers interfered, thus allowing Jinder to nail him with the Khallas for the win.
Result: Jinder Mahal def. Shinsuke Nakamura to retain the WWE World Championship
