WWE Santiago Live Event Results

10/5/16

Santiago, Chile

A sold-out Movistar Arena with 15,000 people welcomed WWE’s first house show in Santiago after 5 long years. It was a red-hot crowd that played along and chanted along all-night long.

1. The New Day (Big E & Xavier Woods) defeated Gallows & Anderson and Cesaro & Sheamus to retain the Raw Tag Team Championships. The match ended when New Day hit their finisher on Karl Anderson.

2. Braun Strowman defeated Sin Cara, after hitting a sick looking bodyslam. Pretty much the same match we’ve been seeing in Raw lately.

3. Neville & Darren Young defeated Bo Dallas & Titus O’Neill. Neville hit a frogsplash instead of Red Arrow, I’m not sure why.

4. Sasha Banks defeated Charlotte to retain the Raw Women’s Championship. Good back and forth match, Sasha won via submission with the Bank Statement.

5. Seth Rollins came out and the place came completely unglued. Rollins is truly a fan favorite in Chile. Out came his tag team partner… Sami Zayn. Kevin Owens came out next, and specifically said Chris Jericho was not here because we were not worth it, so out came his tag team partner… Luke Harper. A great match that ended when Rollins hit a Pedigree on Luke Harper. Afterwards, he and Sami shook hands, so I guess Seth’s face turn is official.

We had a 15-minute intermission, and then…

6. Bayley and Alicia Fox defeated Dana Brooke and Nia Jax, after Bayley hit Dana with Belly-to-Bayley. A fun match. Bayley is absolutely adored, and all the ladies worked really hard for a great match.

7. Enzo Amore, Big Cass & Golden Truth defeated The Shining Stars, Curtis Axel and Jinder Mahal. The crowd chanted along Enzo’s trademark entrance, and there were loud “Axelmania” chants throughout the match.

8. Roman Reigns defeated Rusev (w/Lana) to retain the United States Championship. Roman was amazingly over, which was surprising to me given Santiago tends to be a heel crowd. A great match with lots of near falls that ended when Roman hit a Spear on Rusev for the 3-count.
