WWE Live Event Results
1/18/15
Houston, Texas
They started off announcing that Dwight Howard of the Houston Rockets was in attendace. Since he’s in his hometown, he obviously got a huge pop.
1). The Usos (c) retained over The Miz and Damien Mizdow. Crowd loved the Usos and Mizdow. Miz used Mizdow as a human shield against the superkicks but The Usos countered with double superkicks to Miz and a splash for the win.
2). Sin Cara beat Tyson Kidd. This was actually a decent match. Cara got a lot of offense during the match.
Curtis Axel came out to very little applause. He insulted the crowd before Jack Swagger came out.
3). Jack Swagger beat Curtis Axel. OK match. Nothing really special. Swagger was over with the crowd.
Connor the Crusher video.
Justin Gabriel came out to the quietest reaction I’ve ever heard. Ironically, he was hi-fiving the crowd and behaving like a face when just a week ago, he was heel. I don’t get it, really.
4). Justin Gabriel beat Adam Rose. Rose threw two of his Rosebuds against the ring and yelled at them. The rosebuds cheered for Justin when he won.
Rusev came out to massive heat. Lana insulted our sports teams. Dwight Howard got offended but Lana told him to sit down. Roman Reigns came out and the crowd was deafening. Massive applause.
5). Rusev (c) w/ Lana retained over Roman Reigns after Rusev attacked Reigns with the Russian flag. In the end though, I won. I took fantastic shots of Lana. She’s incredibly beautiful in person.
Intermission. Tony Chimel announced WWE returns in Houston in the June for SmackDown. Pre-sale begins with the code HOUSTON.
6). Naomi, Emma and Paige beat Alicia Fox, Cameron and Summer Rae. Paige got a huge pop. Crowd laughed when Naomi gave Alicia Fox a stinkface. Then, all the girls starting fighting and rolling around on the mat. They rolled over the referee three times. The ref got on the top rope and posed. Absolutely hilarious. The heels got mad at him and the match was over when Naomi hit the Rear View on Foxy. After the match, Paige played with Emma’s butt.
Y2J’s music hit and the crowd went nuts. He started talking about how him and Houston had a long history. Then he said he’d do great running the WWE. Cesaro interrupted and talked to Jericho.
7). Chris Jericho beat Cesaro. Pretty good match. Cesaro hit the Cesaro Swing to a few cheers but the crowd was firmly Y2J.
8) Dean Ambrose beat Bray Wyatt. It was advertised as a street fight. Ambrose brought in chairs and a table, that he got put through almost instantly. Bray placed Ambrose on a chair and then sat down on a chair. He then just stared at him for five seconds then got into a fistfight. Ambrose hit Dirty Deeds with a kendo stick for the win.

1). Roman Reigns
2). Dean Ambrose
3). Paige/Chris Jericho
Biggest Heat:
1). Rusev and Lana
2). Cesaro
