The house show, as usual, was full of ups and downs, featuring several top superstars from the blue brand, including the debut of a top NXT faction.
#1 Sanity (Eric Young and Alexander Wolfe) vs The Club (Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows)
The ever-dominant Sanity finally made their much-awaited main roster debut last night, when they squared-off in a tag team match against the duo of Gallows and Anderson, who are currently the #1 contenders for the SD Live Tag Team Titles.
The team of Young and Wolfe eventually went on to lose their debut match, after their fellow stablemate, Killian Dain caused an outside interference that resulted in a huge win for The Club.
Result: Sanity def. The Club
#2 Andrade “Cien” Almas vs Sin Cara
Following last week’s episode of SD Live, we somewhat got an indication towards the fact that the WWE is currently eyeing towards a possible feud between SmackDown’s newest superstar Andrade “Cien” Almas and Sin Cara.
The former NXT Champion Almas picked up a huge win over Sin Cara following a devastating Hammerlock DDT on the masked luchador.
Result: Andrade “Cien” Almas def. Sin Cara
#3 Asuka, Becky Lynch, and Naomi vs The IIconics and Lana
The first women’s match of the evening that was actually a very fun contest, ‘The Empress of Tomorrow’ Asuka subsequently went on to pick up the win for her team when she locked in Lana into the Asuka Lock.
As noted, one of the most hilarious spots of the match saw Becky Lynch snatch Lana’s wig.
Result: Asuka, Naomi, and Becky Lynch def. The IIconics and Lana
#4 Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura vs Samoa Joe vs The Miz vs Shelton Benjamin- WWE United States Championship
This bout was quite possibly the best match of the evening, featuring 5 of SD Live’s most talented men in the very same ring, at the very same time. Hardy, who had the uphill task of defending the US Championship against four different men, eventually pinned The Miz to retain his title belt following the Swanton Bomb.
Result: Jeff Hardy def. Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe, The Miz, and Shelton Benjamin
#5 The New Day vs The Bar
Another fun tag team match, featuring on the undercard that saw The New Day pick up yet another win over the duo of Sheamus and Cesaro.
The New Day will now look focus on the forthcoming Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match.
Result: The New Day def. The Bar
#6 Carmella vs Charlotte Flair- SmackDown Live Women’s Championship
Ever since losing the SD Live Women’s Title to Carmella, ‘The Queen’ Charlotte Flair has been doing her best in order to regain her championship belt and last night in the city of Waco, the latter once again had the opportunity to become a two-time SmackDown Live Women’s Champion.
However, ‘The Princess of Staten Island’ Carmella went on to retain her championship belt after she got her feet on the ropes for the leverage win.
Result: Carmella def. Charlotte Flair
#7 Daniel Bryan vs Big Cass
After picking up a huge win over Cass at Backlash, Daniel Bryan once again went toe-to-toe with the 7ft. tall Big Cass last night in Texas and the latter on this occasion was certainly hoping for a better outcome.
However, much like Backlash, Bryan once again went on to pick up a massive win over his newest adversary on the blue brand, that is, Cass and this time in pretty similar fashion as well, when the former made the latter tap out.
Result: Daniel Bryan def. Big Cass
