#1 New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston) vs. Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs. Cesaro and Sheamus vs. Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows (RAW Tag Team Championship match)
The show got off to a hot start with a title match with the insanely over team of New Day in action. Enzo Amore and Big Cass also got the crowd going into the match, which was said to be a very entertaining one.
Cesaro, at one point, hit consecutive Cesaro Swings, on Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, Big E and Kofi Kingston. The challengers were unsuccessful, however, as Big E and Kofi Kingston retained their championships after hitting the Midnight Hour on Karl Anderson.
Result: The New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston) def. Enzo Amore and Big Cass, Cesaro and Sheamus, and Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows via pinfall.
#2 Bo Dallas vs Neville
The following match saw Bo Dallas face off against Neville. Neville came out to an incredibly underwhelming reaction from the crowd, despite the show being in his home country of England.The match was identical to the one these two had in Minehead.
Dallas dominated Neville for the entire match before Neville made a comeback to hit The Red ArrowDallas for the win.
Result: Neville def. Bo Dallas via pinfall
#3 Goldust, R Truth and Darren Young vs Shining Stars (Epico and Primo) and Titus O’Neil
This match started off with a noticeable botch during the introduction. JoJo announced Darren Young as being accompanied to the ring by his mentor and WWE Hall of Famer Bob Backlund, even though Backlund wasn’t there.
Another fun match for the crowd with a lot of comedy involved. Eventually, the babyface team of Golden Truth and Darren Young picked up the win.
Result: Goldust, R Truth, and Darren Young vs Shining Stars (Epico and Primo) and Titus O’Neill.
#4 Sami Zayn vs Chris Jericho
Up next was the match between Chris Jericho and Sami Zayn. Chris Jericho was in a foul mood, to begin with, as he tweeted this out before the show:
Jericho was the most over wrestler on tonight’s show. He cut a great pre-match heel promo and berated the Leeds crowd. The crowd wanted Jericho to put them on the ‘List of Jericho’. Jericho, being the smarmy heel he is, refused. Sami Zayn secured the victory following the Blue Thunder Bomb.
Result: Sami Zayn def. Chris Jericho via pinfall
#5 Sin Cara vs Curtis Axel
Sin Cara faced Curtis Axel in the next match. Compared to the Minehead event, Cara got no response from the Leeds crowd. Also, Sin Cara reportedly introduced a new entrance theme music. The Luchador was able to get the pinfall victory after a Swanton Bomb.
Result: Sin Cara def. Curtis Axel via pinfall
On a side note, it’s being reported that Chris Jericho and Sin Cara got into a backstage fight at the event.
#6 Roman Reigns vs Rusev (WWE United Championship match)
Roman Reigns received yet another massive ovation continuing the trend from the Minehead show. Reigns seems to be unanimously over with the live event crowds. Rusev was accompanied to the ring by his wife Lana, who also got a good reaction from the Leeds audience.
After intervening in the match, Lana was ordered by WWE official John Kone, to leave the ringside area. A funny moment was when John Kone was seen gesticulating at Lana by pointing towards the direction she had to go. He also repeated the cartwheel he did the night before in Minehead. The finish saw Reigns hitting Rusev with the Spear to pick up the win.
Result: Roman Reigns def. Rusev via pinfall to retain the WWE United States Championship
#7 Sasha Banks, Bayley and Alicia Fox vs RAW Women’s Champion Charlotte, Dana Brooke and Nia Jax (Emma as special guest referee)
This was the penultimate match on the card, with Emma once again acting as the special guest referee. Unlike the Minehead event, it was Bayley this time, who got the pinfall victory, when she hit Dana Brooke with the Bayley-to-Belly. It should be noted that Bayley got a massive pop during her entrance:
Result: Sasha Banks, Bayley and Alicia Fox def. Charlotte, Dana Brooke and Nia Jax
#8 Kevin Owens vs Seth Rollins in a Street Fight ( WWE Universal Championship match)
The title match headlined the show once again. The result wasn’t different, however, as Kevin Owens defeated Seth Rollins via a roll-up to hold onto to his championship. Before rolling Rollins up, the WWE Universal Champion used a kendo stick to hit a low blow on the challenger.
After the match, Seth Rollins power bombed Kevin Owens through the table, much to the delight of the crowd. Rollins later cut a babyface promo, thanked the Leeds crowd for their love and support. He also reflected that it was during this time last year, he suffered his knee injury on the UK tour, and how miserable he felt for being out for seven months.
The RAW roster will now head to Glasgow, Scotland for tomorrow night’s Monday Night RAW, to be held at a sold out SSE Hydro Arena.
The show got off to a hot start with a title match with the insanely over team of New Day in action. Enzo Amore and Big Cass also got the crowd going into the match, which was said to be a very entertaining one.

#1 Dolph Ziggler vs. The Miz (WWE Intercontinental Championship)
The show kicked off with a solid match between the current and former Intercontinental Champions. The two told a good story in the ring with Miz as the methodical heel and Ziggler as the stubborn babyface looking to make a comeback. It’s worth noting that Miz apparently lost a tooth due to a Ziggler superkick.
In the closing stages of the match, Maryse attacked Ziggler and was sent back to the locker room after being caught red-handed. Ziggler then proceeded to take advantage of the distraction and hit Miz with a superkick to pick up the win. Miz got some tremendous heat all throughout the match due to his smarmy tactics while Ziggler was over as always.
Result: Dolph Ziggler def. The Miz via pinfall to retain the IC title
#2 Heath Slater & Rhyno vs. The Usos vs. Breezango (WWE SmackDown Tag Team title match)
The unorthodox team of Heath Slater and Rhyno put the SmackDown tag team straps on the line against The Usos and Breezango. The most surprising aspect of the match was the fact that The Usos got plenty of cheers despite being a heel team (Manchester fans aren’t tuning into WWE TV it seems).
Fandango and Slater kicked off the match in a fun-filled way with a mini dance-off. The finish was especially great as all the men exchanged superkicks before Jey Uso was Gored by Rhyno. The monstrous Gore was enough for the Champions to pick up the win.
Result: Heath Slater & Rhyno def. The Usos and Breezango via pinfall (Rhyno pinned Jey Uso) to retain the tag team titles
#3 Jack Swagger vs. Curt Hawkins
Hawkins’s string of blink-and-you-miss losses continued as he dropped another match to Jack Swagger in under a minute. Hawkins spewed a lot of smack towards Swagger before the match, and the fans did their bit in giving the heel a ‘what’ treatment. Swagger was ready to face the facts and took Hawkins down with an inverted flapjack. He quickly locked in the Ankle Lock and forced Hawkins to tap out.
Result: Jack Swagger def. Curt Hawkins via submission
#4 Nikki Bella and Naomi vs. Carmella and Natalya
The first women's match of the night saw the babyface team of Bella and Naomi go up against Carmella and Natalya. The match followed the expected routine as seen on SmackDown and recent live events.
In the end, Nikki Bella hit the Rack Attack 2.0 on Carmella to pick up the win for her team.
Result: Nikki Bella and Naomi def. Carmella and Natalya via pinfall
#5 Kane and The American Alpha vs. Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper (Six-man tag team match)
After countless singles matches between Kane and Randy Orton, WWE drifted away from the usual booking and put forth a six-man tag team match. The Demon Kane got some help in The American Alpha to counter the Wyatts and Randy Orton in a solid match.
Kane was insanely over with fans, and so were Orton and Bray to an extent. Orton masterfully transformed the cheers to boos when he refused to stay the ring – a typical heel trait. The match picked up pace after Kane got the hot tag and went on a rampage. He cleared off Orton and Wyatt with a double chokeslam before laying Harper out with another chokeslam for the pinfall. Even though Gable and Jordon weren’t as over as Orton, Kane and Wyatt, the run they got by hanging with the veterans will surely help them a lot in the long term.
Result: Kane and The American Alpha def. Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper via pinfall
#6 Baron Corbin vs. Kalisto
The Lone Wolf and the former United States Champion faced each other in a fun match. The match was short and sweet that saw Kalisto pull off some breathtaking aerial moves to keep Corbin down. Kalisto was met with a Corbin big boot while the Luchador tried to flip into the ring during his entrance.
The match kicked off soon after with Corbin dominating the proceedings for the better part of the bout. Kalisto rallied with his high-flying move-set but fell short of a win when Corbin hit the End Of Days after grabbing Kalisto in mid-air.
Result: Baron Corbin def. Kalisto via pinfall
#7 The Hype Bros vs. The Ascension
The forgotten team of The Ascension were fed to the overly enthusiastic team of The Hype Bros in a short match. The bout had nothing worth notable apart from Mojo Rawley’s popular dance moves. Ryder and Rawley got the win courtesy of their spine buster/Rough Ryder combo off the top rope.
Result: The Hype Bros def. The Ascension via pinfall
#8 Becky Lynch vs Alexa Bliss (WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship match)
The women's title match was a great back and forth encounter between the two women who are set to face each other for the title on the upcoming episode of SmackDown in Glasgow. Bliss was particularly impressive as she got in a lot of offence and looked good in defeat.
In the end, Becky Lynch picked up the win and retained the title. This was a good dress rehearsal before their televised match on Smackdown.
Result: Becky Lynch def. Alexa Bliss via submission to retain the SmackDown Women’s title
#9 AJ Styles vs. Dean Ambrose (WWE World Heavyweight Championship match)
The main event of the evening was the match of the night. Styles and Ambrose showed off their impeccable chemistry and put on a back and forth encounter for the fans at hand. The match was a perfect blend of mat wrestling, high flying and power moves.
Despite being cheered initially, Styles managed to get some heat due to his heel tactics all throughout the match. Ambrose was naturally the fan favourite and had the crowd firmly behind him. The final sequence of the match saw Ambrose kick out of the Styles Clash and take the fight to Styles, but the Phenomenal One pushed Ambrose into the exposed turnbuckle, rolled him up and picked up the win. Ambrose hit Styles with the Dirty Deeds after the match to send the fans home happy.
According to the fans at the show, this was one of the best matches they’ve seen in all the live events through the years, which goes to show how well these two know each other in the ring.
