Tonight's show kicks off as one-half of the Lucha Dragons gears up for solo action.
Kalisto vs. Tyler Breeze
Breeze takes his time getting ready but eventually goes right into a lock-up with Kalisto. After some grappling, they break and then throw down again. Breeze tosses Kalisto but the luchador wows the crowd by taking a walk on his hands and then taking to the air. Breeze regroups outside but Kalisto is ready to rumble again ion the inside. Breeze counters a springboard move with a kick to regain momentum. He works Kalisto over on the rope and then on the mat, earning a near-fall. Kalisto stages a comeback but Breeze slows him down with a superkick. Kalisto stays in the hunt with some lucha moves but can't seal the deal with a 450 splash. After a bit more back and forth, Breeze finally puts Kalisto down for the count.
Result: Tyler Breeze defeats Kalisto via pinfall.
WWE recaps the Alex Riley/Kevin Owens feud and we also get a Flintstones commercial and some behind the scenes footage from the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio.
Backstage, Finn Balor gives A-Ry some advice heading into his bout with KO.
Wesley Blake vs. Big Cass
Big Cass emerges with Enzo and Carmella for some classic mic work. Then he heads down the ramp for some ring work.
Blake works the arm until Cass checks him into the corner. Cass keeps the upper hand with some big shots, punching and tossing Blake from pillar to post. Cass has the crowd on his side as they chant "How you doin'?" Blake comes back, delivering some stiff blows but Cass responds with power, slamming Blake on to the mat and then setting him up for a big corner splash. He hits a side slam next and looks to win it but Murphy provides a distraction when he gets into it with Carmella on the apron. Blake capitalizes with a roll up for the win.
Result: Wesley Blake defeats Big Cass via pinfall.
Alexa Bliss is out next for her match with The Boss.
Alexa Bliss vs. Sasha Banks
Alexa wows her hometown crowd with some swift offense, driving Sasha's head into the canvas over and over again at one point. Banks roars back, putting the hurt on Bliss by driving both knees into her abdomen. Banks lands some high-impact moves on her opponent but Bliss manages to turn the tables, getting all over the champ. They end up outside and Bliss tosses Banks into the post. She then slides in to beat the count and win the match.
Result: Alexa Bliss defeats Sasha Banks via count out.
Backstage, Kevin Owens says he'll do whatever it takes to hold on to the title for the sake of his family. Alexa Bliss says she's stoked to win and Banks gets in her grill. William Regal breaks it up, announcing that Banks will now have to defend the title against Bliss.
Alex Riley vs. Kevin Owens
Riley is waaay fired up as this one gets under way. The initial collar-and-elbow is fierce. Owens strikes quickly, taking Riley down and then peppering him with shots when A-Ry returns to a vertical base. He puts Riley down again and tells the crowd, "That's why I'm the champ!" Riley gets back into it with a drop kick but he can't stay in control as Owens keeps up the rough-and-tumble onslaught. He works Riley down to the mat for a protracted stint and then stands up and delivers a vicious taunting. Riley catches Owens off-guard and puts him on the floor but Kevin comes back in looking like he's ready for the kill. Riley lands a big spinebuster, showing that he could still take this one but Owens responds with a trio of back-to-back sentons before dumping Riley outside. He bounces Rile off the fence at ringside and then puts him back in the ring, finishing things with a pop-up power bomb and the three-count.
Result: Kevin Owens defeats Alex Riley via pinfall.
After the bell, Owens looks to beat down Riley but Balor comes out to break it up. The champ and the number-one contender go at it until Owens retreats to the back.
