Fans in Spokane, Washington were treated to a great show on Sunday night at the Spokane Arena. The fans who did show up were excited to see their favourite WWE Superstars and a couple who haven't been featured on television for a long time like Luke Harper and Erick Rowan.
The top names of SmackDown Live took it to Spokane and thanks to the wonderful world of social media we can get a peek in on the action.

Fans drowned out a popular wrestler with 'She's a racist' chants recently
#1 The New Day vs The Usos vs Breezango- SmackDown Live Tag Team Championship Match
The longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions put their SmackDown Titles on the line in a triple threat tag match. This was said to be a good opener which saw The New Day coming out on top of a match with a little comedy but a lot of action. It's also to see evidently, Xavier Woods is doing much better as well.
Result: The New Day def. The Usos, Breezango
#2 Rusev vs. Chad Gable
The Bulgarian Brute arrived in Spokane to Crush and he meant business. While taking on the smaller and more agile Chad Gable, Rusev had a lot on his plate. But even without the assistance of his Ravishing wife Lana he was able to defeat SmackDown Live's resident Olympian.
Result: Rusev def. Chad Gable
#3 Charlotte Flair, Naomi and Becky Lynch vs Natalya, Lana and Carmella (w/ James Ellsworth)
James Ellsworth was in the building with Carmella and people said these two stole the show in this match. It's so odd something like that is going over so well, but that's pro wrestling for you. The babyfaces went over in this match when Charlotte Flair made Lana tap out to the Figure-8
Result: Charlotte Flair, Naomi, and Becky Lynch def. Natalya, Lana and Carmella
Mojo Rawley and Zack Ryder had an interesting partner in Spokane
#4 Luke Harper and The Hype Bros vs Erick Rowan and The Ascension
It's interesting to note while we all thought Rowan and Harper would eventually be paired up as a tag team very soon once again, they're not allies at house shows. This mismatched pairing of a six-man tag saw the babyfaces go over. I just wonder if Luke Harper could get hyped and stay hyped for this match, you know it, bro. It didn't look like there was any sign of The Hype Bros breaking up in Spokane.
Result: Luke Harper & The Hype Bros def. Erick Rowan and The Ascension
#5 Sami Zayn vs Mike Kanellis
Speaking of someone we don't see on television very often anymore, Mike Kanellis was in Spokane and sported a nifty jacked with his wife Maria's face on it. She's at home cooking up the next generation of Kanellis so Mike had to fly solo in Spokane. As nice as it might have been to see Mike Kanellis, Sami Zayn didn't let The Power Of Love get the best of him as he won the contest.
Result: Mike Kanellis def. Sami Zayn
#6 Mike Kanellis vs Sin Cara
Mike Kanellis got on the microphone and demanded another opponent so they gave one to him. Sin Cara came out and beat him in extremely rapid fashion. It looks like The Power Of Love might be dying a painful death on the house show circuit. But on a positive note, Sin Cara is still around!
Result: Sin Cara def. Mike Kanellis
#7 AJ Styles (c) vs Baron Corbin vs Kevin Owens vs Tye Dillinger - Fatal Four Way US Title Match
I like when they do these fatal four-way matches at house shows because it gives multiple guys a chance to work but somewhat minimize the risk. After all, they don't need Kevin Owens hurting himself before his big match at Hell In A Cell. It's also great to see Tye Dilliner in the mix here. This probably means WWE sees something in him because they're giving him the chance to work with some very talented guys who can help him get even better. AJ Styles came out on top to a delighted Spokane Washington crowd and reports were Kevin Owens was just the most hated heel.
Result: AJ Styles (c) def. Baron Corbin, Kevin Owens, Tye Dillinger and retained the WWE US Championship.
#8 Bobby Roode vs Dolph Ziggler
These two were trying out some things in Spokane before their big match at Hell In A Cell. The crowd was way over for Bobby Roode and a number of individuals were belting out his Glorious entrance music. Once the match got underway it seemed to impress. Even though he gave it his all, Dolph Ziggler couldn't close the deal on The Glorious One in Spokane. Ziggler was also really living up his new gimmick where he didn't seem to care about the fans.
Result: Bobby Roode def. Dolph Ziggler
#10 Jinder Mahal (c) (w/ The Singh Brothers) vs Shinsuke Nakamura - WWE Championship Match
The main event of the evening saw Jinder Mahal defend his WWE Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura. Jinder Mahal's heat was intense and people saw it as very real. Some said it had an old-school feel to it where the crowd was legitimately upset at him.
The crowd loved Shinsuke Nakamura and his Rock Star entrance. The Spokane audience was singing along to the melody of his music long after it concluded.
In the end, The Singh Brothers assisted Jinder Mahal in victory in a way which was said to be very good. After the match was over they sent the crowd home happy as Shinsuke Nakamura caught everyone with Kinshasas.
Result: Jinder Mahal (c) def. Shinsuke Nakamura and retained the WWE Championship
