The WWE show held in Mexico City wasn't your average run-of-the-mill live event.
Billed as a Supershow, the card was made up of nine matches that featured some of the biggest Superstars on the roster.
One of the takeaways from the show was 6-time Champion Alexa Bliss's return to in-ring action after a brief hiatus.
The main event saw Bray Wyatt defend the Universal Championship against Rey Mysterio in a Steel Cage Match. Rusev and Bobby Lashley were also slated to face each other in a grudge match.
Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens had a rematch from RAW that included a very surprising finish, which added another layer to the Beastslayer's ongoing character evolution.
Cain Velasquez got a new tag team partner in a match that showcased his raw yet impressive in-ring talent.
Braun Strowman was involved in a handicap match against Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura and Sami Zayn.
Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, Ricochet, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Charlotte, Bayley and The Kabuki Warriors also competed at the special event.
Given below are the results and highlights of the show:
#1. Randy Orton vs. Ricochet
The Viper and WWE's Resident Superhero kicked off the night with a solid opener. The match followed a predictable pattern in which Orton worked on Ricochet for most parts of the match before the comeback. This was weird because Orton worked as a babyface on RAW.
In the end, Orton managed to get the win over his high-flying opponent. The two Superstars have crossed paths lately on TV and social media and they could be in for a short programme going forward.
Result: Randy Orton def. Ricochet
#2. The Kabuki Warriors (C) vs. Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross vs. Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks & Bayley (WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Match)
That's a lot of great talent in one match, isn't it? And, they didn't disappoint.
The Women's tag-team four-way match was a brilliant showcase of what the women of the WWE have to offer.
Alexa Bliss, who returned to TV on the most recent episode of SmackDown, made her in-ring comeback after a month.
Asuka and Kairi Sane managed to retain the titles in a match that set the tone perfectly for the remaining bouts of the night.
Results: The Kabuki Warriors retained the titles
#3. Aleister Black vs. Andrade (w/ Zelina Vega)
Local favourite Andrade was the latest name to have knocked on Aleister Black's door.
This one had an interesting subplot as Zelina Vega is married to Black in real life. It was a decent match for as long as it lasted as Black managed to get the win over Andrade in the end.
Result: Aleister Black def. Andrade.
#4. Rusev vs. Bobby Lashley (w/ Lana)
This advertised match didn't even officially get underway. Bobby Lashley was out in the ring with Lana but Rusev was nowhere to be found. The referee began the ten count and there was still no sign of the Bulgarian Brute.
The match was adjudged as a no-contest after Rusev showed up and attacked Lashley even before the bell could be rung.
Rusev stood tall over Lashley at the end of the segment. It looks like WWE is saving the eventual showdown between the two Superstars for TLC, which will take place on December 15th.
Result: No contest
#5. Cain Velasquez & Humberto Carrilo vs. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson (The O.C.)
WWE intended to showcase their biggest Hispanic talents on the show and having Cain Velasquez on the card was a no-brainer.
The former UFC Champion was earlier scheduled to team up with Rey Mysterio, however, WWE changed the match and paired him up with Humberto Carrillo instead.
Velasquez put in a good performance and he was unsurprisingly quite over with the Mexican fans, who were happy to see the new tag team get the better of The O.C.
Result: Cain Velasquez & Humberto Carrillo def. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson
#6. Roman Reigns vs. King Corbin
Roman Reigns has and will continue to be the chosen one of this generation. No WWE live event card can go up without The Big Dog being featured on it and this was no different.
The Big Dog faced the man he's been feuding with on WWE TV and the match had the perfect ingredients to keep the fans invested.
As expected, Corbin drew tremendous amounts of heat that complemented the cheers that were showered on Reigns. Reigns was a popular figure in Mexico City and he gave the fans their money's worth by defeating Corbin.
Reigns and Corbin are rumored to face each other at the upcoming TLC PPV in a gimmick match.
Result: Roman Reigns def. King Corbin
#7. Braun Strowman vs. Sami Zayn & Shinsuke Nakamura (2-on-1 Handicap Match)
Two heels against one monstrous babyface! This one ought to get the crowd going, and it did.
Braun Strowman got loud pops as he overcame the numbers disadvantage to defeat the WWE Intercontinental Champion and his manager. The Monster Among Men is quite popular with the masses and WWE booked him to go over strong in this one.
Result: Braun Strowman def. Shinsuke Nakamura & Sami Zayn
#8. Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens
The two top Superstars from RAW faced each other again in a rematch from the last episode of the Red Brand.
Owens and Rollins are known to have great in-ring chemistry, so this match was quite an engaging watch for the fans in attendance.
However, the fans didn't get a conclusive finish in this one. The Beastslayer was disqualified after he shoved the referee. We don't know what led to Rollins getting physical with the referee but KO was handed the win via DQ as a result of the incident. A frustrated Rollins could be gradually heading towards a full-fledged heel turn by the looks of it.
For what it's worth, Rollins did work this match as a heel.
All said and done, the co-main event of the evening warmed up the crowd for the headliner, which was a massive Steel Cage match between two Champions.
Result: Kevin Owens def. Seth Rollins via DQ
#9. The Fiend (c) vs. Rey Mysterio (c) (Steel Cage Match for the Universal Championship)
Rey Mysterio got one of the biggest pops of the night as he came out to face the most intimidating Superstar currently in the WWE.
The Fiend even showed up with his customized new belt, which was unveiled on SmackDown recently.
Mysterio put up a great fight but The Fiend proved to be just too big a challenge for the WWE Legend.
The Universal Champion got the win over the United States Champion in the final match of the evening.
Result: The Fiend def. Rey Mysterio to retain the Universal Championship
Despite the predictability of the outcomes - which is a norm with live events - the WWE Supershow at the Arena Ciudad De Mexico was quite entertaining from top to bottom of the card and that's all that matters at the end of the day.
