ORTON'S FIRST TITLE DEFENSE, DIVA RETURNS TO ACTION, REY REY IS BACK AND MORE: 8/23 WWE IN FRESNO RESULTS

I attended the WWE show here in Fresno, CA last night. Here are the resilts:

*Zack Ryder pinned Jack Swagger in a really good opener with the Rough Ryder. They went about 14 minutes with some good back and forth near falls. This was the strongest Ryder has looked since Kane trashed him on Raw forever ago.

*The Shield came out for a promo promising that justice would be served.

*Alicia Fox pinned Tamina Snuka.

*WWE United States champion Dean Ambrose defeated Rob Van Dam with his DDT in a good match.

*Rey Mysterio came out and cut a promo, saying that he wanted to come and see his fans in Fresno. He said that he should be returning to the ring in September, but was cut off by the Shield, who teased attacking him. Big Show and Mark Henry hit the ring for the save to set up the next match, where the challengers beat the WWE Tag Team champions by DQ when Ambrose returned and nailed Henry with a chair as he had Rollins pinned. The Shield worked over the heroes until RVD made the save.

*The Wyatt Family defeated The Usos. OK match. Wyatt nailed Sister Abagail after.

*Fandango vs. Miz in a dance-off. Yes, we were given the chance to vote for what we wanted and got a dance-off. Lucky us! Fandango danced and then when it was Miz's turn, Fandango attacked him so it turned into a match, which Miz won with the figure four.

*Daniel Bryan defeated WWE champion Randy Orton by DQ when the Shield attacked Bryan as he had Orton trapped in the Yes Lock. They worked over Bryan but RVD, Show and Henry hit the ring for the save. Orton escaped, leaving the Shield to be laid out with all the finishers.

As you may have guessed, Shield really earned their money tonight.

Overall, a fun show with only two snoozers in the middle - the Divas and the Wyatts.
