Sign in. The finish saw Dawson roll up Axel. Wilder hung up Dallas on the rope, and the former inspirational Superstar fell onto his partner, thus reversing the roll-up.

Three seconds later, the B-Team retained their tag titles. This was just a lackluster match that continued the mediocrity of the Raw tag team division. The psychology on the part of the heels was there, but the action down the stretch was messy, and it never really looked like the two teams were on the same page. The perfect conclusion to a subpar Kickoff Show. Ziggler and Rollins sparred early, but a brief tease of interference from McIntyre led to a face-to-face with Ambrose at ringside.

Champion Ziggler targeted the knee of Rollins, looking to exploit the serious injury that kept The Architect out of action for nearly a year in Shifting his focus over time from the knee to the head and neck, Ziggler wore down Rollins with a headlock, looking to rid the challenger of his energy.

A high crossbody block from Ziggler was countered, as Rollins rolled through and delivered a suplex that sent both men over the top rope and crashing to the arena floor. Rollins recovered and built some momentum for himself, delivering a big blockbuster for a count of two.

Ziggler answered by setting up his opponent for a superplex attempt, but Rollins fought out. Before he could answer, Ziggler rolled out of the ring. Rollins negated that with a suicide dive and a flying clothesline back in the ring. Ziggler countered the electric chair with a sleeper, but Rollins arm-dragged his way out. On the ring apron, the champion sent Rollins back-first into the ring post and then followed with a spike DDT. Rollins, back in control, delivered a superkick and tried for a frog splash.

Ziggler got his knees up and stacked up Rollins for a two-count. Rollins recovered with an inverted suplex off the top rope and followed it with another for an amazing false finish that popped the crowd. As the challenger built momentum, McIntyre sent Ambrose into the stairs and Ziggler sent Rollins into the ring post. He delivered the Zig Zag and scored a two-count as blood poured from an open wound on the challenger's forehead. At ringside, Ambrose recovered and delivered Dirty Deeds to McIntyre while Rollins obliterated Ziggler with the stomp for the win and title.

The match started slow and struggled to get fans invested early, but by the time Rollins and Ziggler turned it up a notch, the fans were living and breathing with every near-fall. A spectacular match that positioned the high spots perfectly and used Ambrose and McIntyre intermittently, to great effect.

This sets a very high bar for the rest of the roster to try to eclipse throughout the remainder of the night. Their reward? A date with the heretofore unstoppable Bludgeon Brothers. Harper and Rowan wasted little time focusing their attack on Xavier Woods, dismantling and dominating the member of New Day described by Tom Phillips as "the expendable member of The New Day" while Big E watched from the apron. Rowan and Harper attempted to use the ring steps to dish out more punishment to Woods, but Big E made the tag and took both men over with nasty belly-to-belly overhead suplexes.

A big splash to Harper back in the squared circle nearly gave way to the Big Ending, but the bearded big man answered with a sit-out slam.

The action broke down at ringside as Woods delivered a dive to Rowan and Big E delivered a spear to Harper through the ropes and to the arena floor.

Rowan answered with a crossbody off the ring apron, knocking Big E out of commission. Harper and Rowan attempted to put Woods away with a powerbomb, but he kicked out as Kofi Kingston riled up the crowd. Re-energized, Woods delivered a massive elbow drop from the top rope to Harper on the floor. As New Day appeared poised to win the titles, Rowan used one of the mallets to attack Big E and Woods, drawing a disqualification. With an actual finish, this would have been a spectacular match. As it is, it was a hot, action-packed bout that exceeded expectations and laid the groundwork for a rematch or two if the booking team desires.

New Day is one of the most consistent acts on the roster, and it really should not be of any great surprise that it delivered a match as good as what we got Sunday night. Kevin Owens had the right to avenge months of torment at the hands of Braun Strowman by not only beating him but also taking away his Money in the Bank contract.

Strowman obliterated Owens from the opening bell, running through and over The Prizefighter and putting him at a disadvantage immediately. Moments later, Strowman delivered the powerslam and retained his Money in the Bank briefcase.

Did Owens really have to endure that type of loss to remind everyone that Strowman is an unstoppable badass? Would the leaders of the Women's Revolution regain the gold, or would the modern-day diva find a way to retain her title? Carmella moonwalked at the bell and paid for it, the recipient of an onslaught by her challengers. Looking to turn the tide in her favor, Carmella pitted Lynch and Flair against each other.

The challengers bought it and waged war, the Lass Kicker delivering a few arm-drags and trying for the Dis-arm-her. At ringside, Carmella grabbed Lynch and sent her into the ring steps before mocking the famous Flair strut. The tournament began on the July 24 episode of SmackDown. The following week, Charlotte Flair returned and saved Lynch from Carmella. Paige then scheduled Carmella to face Flair with a stipulation that if Flair won, she would be added to the match.

Flair won the match, thus making the match a triple threat. A rematch between the two for the title was scheduled for the following SmackDown with Hardy winning by disqualification after he was attacked by Randy Orton. On August 3, another match between the two for the title was scheduled for SummerSlam.

Throughout the season, Miz would constantly berate Bryan, claiming he was not WWE material and expressing his displeasure at Bryan being his Rookie. The feeling was mutual as Bryan would regularly make comments on the show alluding to the fact that he had been wrestling longer than Miz, and that he should be the Pro and Miz should be the Rookie.

Six years later, on the August 24, episode of Talking Smack , Bryan then General Manager of SmackDown got into a verbal altercation with The Miz, which consisted of Bryan criticizing Miz's wrestling ability and "safe style" of wrestling.

The Miz responded by going on a rant about Bryan being unable to return to in-ring competition due to the various injuries he had sustained throughout his WWE career. From this point forward, Bryan and Miz would have sporadic interactions for over a year. On March 20, , Bryan was officially cleared to return to the ring by doctors, after which he resumed his feud with The Miz. Miz would initially decline the match, stating that he has always been above Bryan going back to NXT season one, and recommended that Bryan return to the independent circuit once his WWE contract expired.
