The first match show in the HHH era is here and it starts off hot with Bianca vs. Becky. The hype video is top-tier stuff The stage is really low-key - almost like UFC but with a tron. Goofy outfit on Becky while the home state girl Bianca is out looking like THE star of stars. Nice matwork sets up some stiff strikes. Draping legdrop turned into a powerbomb by Bianca. Schoolgirl off the Disarmher gets 2. Spanish Fly and the KOD ends it! Becky and Bianca hug and then Bayley returns! Dakota Kai returns on the main roster too! And Io Shirai! Corey calls her "Io Sky", which is honestly not the worst name ever.
Becky stares down the new group WITH BIANCA! The heels run away as they should and the new babyface team stands tall. Logan Paul vs. Miz is up and Miz is out in garish neon green alongside Maryse and Ciampa. Logan is fantastic at matwork with things like a fireman's carry and a gorgeous blockbuster that Miz turns into a suplex. MASSIVE LARIAT and a powerslam gets 2 for Paul. Chopblock by Paul leads to a figure four tease and it's on!
Miz is sent THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE WITH A FROG SPLASH OFF THE TOP! Crazy stuff - he's an unreal athlete. Miz gets the chain-clad Polaroid thanks a Maryse and her thong distraction, but Paul GETS THE SKULL CRUSHING FINALE AND WINS IT. This was Miz's best match in ages.
Theory vs. Lashley is up and Lashley gets jumped by the case, which gives Theory a brief edge until a press slam into the Hurt Lock ends it. They set up that the first half of his prophecy didn't come true, but that the WWE Title match is still on tap for him to cash in. Judgment Day vs. Mysterios is up and JD having Edge's heel theme is so odd still. They hype up Dom debuting at Summerslam in 2020, which seems insane. They hype up Rey and his Victoria sponsorship.
Faces run wild and Priest SLOWS IT DOWN with a long chinlock to Dom. Rey comes in and hits the seated senton and basement dropkick. Rhea prevents the double 619 and bonks Dom into the apron before South of Heaven hits and Balor wants a chair. BROOD EDGE IS BACK! Edge hits a spear on both the heels and Rey hits a 619 on Priest to win with the splash.
Corbin vs. McAfee is up WITH A CHOIR singing BUMASS CORBIN. Superkick to start to Corbin! SWINGING RANA LEAPING OFF THE TOP by Pat. Pat goes for a superplex and gets shoved off into a backflip, but he poses and eats a shotgun dropkick. Hop-up superplex goes a bit wonky with Pat landing on his knees on the buckle, but he gets up right away and hits it! Sunset flip off the top ends it.
Drew vs. Sheamus recap leads to Drew getting a big wacky intro. Tag title match is up and Jeff gets a partial intro. Street Profits come out with a giant Titans intro. Cole brings up Jarrett having a big weekend without bringing up Flair's Last Match. Running blockbuster gets 2 for Tez. Flip dive from Angelo, who is working without a shirt. Big pounce and back suplex gets 2. Double splash to Dawkins but Tez breaks it up! Near superkick to Jeff, who shoves him into a Sky High and a frog splash gets 2.9! Tez is pissed at Jeff and says he can't count to three in Nashville before eating a...sorta double superkick on a dive attempt. 1D hits and ends it. Wow, that's it? Jeff HAS A REASON to attack the Profits and doesn't? Okay, it's not bad to have a clean finish, but that's flat.
Kid Rock's "Shakedown" is hyped and he makes out with a blonde hefty bag before Riddle comes out and Rollins dressed like a creamcicle hits another Stomp while fans chant his theme. Liv vs. Ronda is up and Ronda looks so goofy with the eye makeup. Killer skimpy gear on Liv, who gets chucked around before Liv gets a Rings of Saturn!
Crucifix bomb hits for 2 for Liv! RONDA GETS THE ARMBAR, but Liv gets the rope barely! Ronda gets another armbar and Ronda's shoulders are down and Ronda beats herself. Well this really got Liv under. Ronda beats up Liv, the ref and BOWS UP TO JAMIE NOBLE, BOY!
Mayor Kane bullshits the attendance to over 48,000 and sets off pyro. Roman vs. Brock is set up as THE rivalry of the last seven years. Roman's out and Brock comes out and then PUTS A FLANNEL ON TO GET ON HIS TRACTOR! BROCK ON HIS TRACTOR says he's a big-ass country boy who is 285 pounds and is here to kick ass ON HIS TRACTOR! Brock is in his mid-'40s and jumps off the tractor's front loader before suplexing Roman off the steps.
They fight near the truss and Brock chucks him into it. GERMAN ON THE FLOOR to Roman. Heyman distracts and a Samoan drop through a table busts Brock's back up. A pair of Superman punches land. Brock sidesteps a spear and he hits a table on the way down. Brock moves the tractor and lowers the front loader to do shit. Brock grabs a piece of a table and just thumps him with it. Brock LOADS ROMAN INTO IT and dumps him...basically at the top rope.
