WWE's European Tour continued in full swing and this time, superstars from both the RAW and SmackDown brands found themselves facing off against one another in an incredible live event in Stockholm, Sweden.

In the live event, fans got to witness an incredible reunion that led to a big main event, title matches, RAW vs SmackDown matches and more. Here's what you missed!

The action kicked off with some incredible mixed tag team wrestling, courtesy of the Fabulous Truth and Zelina Vega & Andrade. It was a great match to get the crowd to a hot start, with Andrade and R-Truth doing particularly well with the pace.

Ultimately, it was the babyface duo of Carmella & Truth who picked up the win.

After the match, Lars Sullivan came out and hit R-Truth with the Freak Accident. It looks like this is going to be a regular thing for Sullivan at live events, up until he actually competes.


#7. Xavier Woods vs Sami Zayn

Xavier Woods came out to take on Sami Zayn in the first of four RAW vs SmackDown matches. Zayn, as usual, spent more time on the mic than he actually did competing in a match, where he was talking down to Woods and the audience.

Woods played up to the crowd well, even blowing the trombone on Zayn's face. The duo would proceed to have a rather quick match, which ended with Xavier Woods gettin the roll-up victory.

Interestingly enough, this wasn't the end of the night for either competitor. They would cross paths again, but we'll get back to that.

#6. Charlotte Flair vs Naomi

This exciting contest featured the two former SmackDown Women's Champions go at it in yet another RAW vs SmackDown match. While Naomi was always a part of team blue, she never really crossed paths with Charlotte in her years there.

That's a shame, because their match at Stockholm was reportedly a really good one. The two women went at it and it was The Queen who ultiamtely prevailed at the end.

The newly crowned SmackDown Tag Team Champions Daniel Bryan & Rowan put their titles on the line in a triple threat match - against RAW's top team The Usos and SmackDown Live's odd pairing of Shinsuke Nakamura & Rusev.

The champions outlasted the other two teams in a great fast-paced contest to retain the titles.

#4. The IIconics (c) vs Asuka & Kairi Sane - WWE Women's Tag Team Championship

The newly formed team of Asuka and Kairi Sane seem to be a major threat to the women's tag team division, as the IIconics now have the dynamic Japanese duo right behind them. The chase for the tag titles began for Asuka & Sane, who brought it to the IIconics, only for the champions to retain in sneaky fashion in the last second.

Matt Hardy was attacked by Samoa Joe earlier in the live event, so he had a big chip on his shoulders when he competed for the United States Championship.

Unfortunately for the 14-time tag team champion, it didn't work out in his favour, because Joe ended up squashing him and retaining the title.
