WWE's weekend tour continued with a live event on Sunday in Rochester, New York. Featuring Superstars from both RAW and SmackDown, WWE put up eight matches on the card for the fans in attendance, including two title defenses.
However, most of the top-tier athletes like Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, among others missed this show due to their schedule in Australia. To fill up the vacancy, RAW Tag Team Champions, The Viking Raiders, appeared multiple times on the event with many other Superstars putting up double-duty.
#1 Ricochet vs Andrade (with Zelina Vega)
The live event in Rochester kicked off with Ricochet facing the brand new acquisition for RAW, Andrade. As expected, both of them delivered one of the most entertaining matches of the night, thereby setting the pace for the rest of the show.
In the end, the former WWE United States Champion picked up the win over Andrade with a 630 Senton.
Result: Ricochet defeated Andrade
Post-match, Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler made their presence felt by taking out Ricochet. The RAW Tag Team Champions, The Viking Raiders, made the save and the title match was set.

The brand new Tag Team Champions of the Red brand defended their crown against the former title-holders on the show. Just like their match on RAW, the two teams put up a hard-hitting battle for the fans in attendance. Erik and Ivar went on to retain the gold after pinning Dolph Ziggler following a Viking Experience.
