WWE Live went to Hershey, PA, and it was as enthralling as ever. It was a dual-branded PPV, so not only did we get to see a couple of WrestleMania match previews, but we also witnessed a RAW vs SmackDown main event. Without any further ado, here's what went down at the live event!
The Usos (c) vs Shinsuke Nakamura & Rusev - SmackDown Tag Team Championships
Trending
The relatively new team of Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura got a SmackDown Tag Team title opportunity against reigning tag team kings The Usos. Naturally, the champions had the edge, and while they did struggle, they managed comfortably put away Nakamura and Rusev

Buddy Murphy (c) vs Tony Nese - SmackDown Tag Team Championship
We got a big WrestleMania preview, as Buddy Murphy defended the WWE Cruiserweight Championship against Tony Nese. Though Nese is definitely going to try harder at WrestleMania, he was unsuccessful on the night, as Murphy continued his Cruiserweight tile reign.

Bobby Lashley (c) vs Finn Balor - Intercontinental Championship
Finn Balor took on Bobby Lashley in the second WrestleMania match of the night. It was an Intercontinental title defence, and while Balor came extremely close to winning the Intercontinental title, it ended in a count-out just like the previous time.

Elias would grace Hershey with his presence, but he was interrupted as usual, by an unlikely name - Becky Lynch. The Man would have her fair share of fun at Elias' expense, as she sang a song of her own.
Elias, being Elias, was relentless even after this, and would appear three times in the live event.
Charlotte Flair (c) vs Becky Lynch - SmackDown Women's Championship
Becky Lynch attempted to capture the SmackDown Women's Championship before WrestleMania, but was unable to do so primarily because of dirty tactics from Charlotte Flair, who won the match and retained the title.

Post-match, Asuka, still bitter about her defeat to Charlotte, attacked The Queen, and Becky Lynch would follow it up with a stunner, standing tall.
Samoa Joe (c) vs Cesaro vs AJ Styles - United States Championship
Sheamus was busy in Boston watching the Liverpool game, so Cesaro decided to compete for the United States Championship instead. It was a triple threat match also involving AJ Styles, and Joe wound up retaining the title at the end, but he still ate a Phenomenal Forearm after the match.

AJ Styles would then go on to make a statement about his match against Randy Orton at WrestleMania.
Asuka & Naomi vs Mandy Rose & Sonya DeVille
Asuka and Naomi, who are good allies, teamed up to take on Mandy Rose and Naomi. Asuka was by far the star of the match, and was very over with the crowd. They ended up picking up the easy win over Fire & Desire.

Baron Corbin & Drew McIntyre vs Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose
2/3rds of The Shield took on Baron Corbin and Drew McIntyre. The crowd was hot for Ambrose and Rollins, but unfortunately, they would lose after Ambrose took the pin from Drew McIntyre.

Kofi Kingston vs Elias
In a RAW vs SmackDown Live main event, Elias took on Kofi Kingston. Kingston was as hot as ever, with the momentum being behind him. He managed to handily defeat Elias, and celebrated with The New Day and the crowd to send them home happy.
