Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens.

KO came out wearing a Cowboy Bob Orton shirt.  Then came Randy and the sing-along was on.  Randy took his time getting to the ring so that they could sing but he also stared down KO.

Randy made the mistake of preening to the crowd and KO attacked him with a chair and took him to the floor, where they fought.  Much like Reed vs. Rollins, the match hasn't started yet so all of the floor fighting is fine.

They got in the ring but before the match started KO stunned the ref.  They waved off the match but they kept fighting anyway.  Jamie Noble went flying.  RO used the chair on KO.  Daivari was at ringside and grabbed the chair.  Bad move. 

Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis came out to stop them. Randy hit an RKO on Pearce.  They kept fighting on the floor until KO went from way up the building and put Randy through a table way below him.  That ended the fight.  It was really stiff stuff.  I liked that they put off the first match.  They are letting the feud breathe. 

LA Knight defends The US Title against Andrade and Carmelo Hayes.

As you would expect, Knight is the most over of the three.  Fans are totally into him.

This one is move city from the start.  I am glad that I didn't have to try and do the play-by-play because I would have tapped.  It was a lot of fun, with everyone going 100 miles an hour. LA got the pin at the end on Hayes but anyone could have won. They did a lot of innovative stuff as well.

Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther for the Men's Bling Belt.

Gunther out first.  Not a whole lot of reaction because, well, they were waiting to sing for Cody, and they did.

The crowd is on fire for this, they are insane.

It was excellent back and forth wrestling early on.  This has a real big fight feel to it. 

Cody started to get momentum when he dove to the floor but got caught by Gunther so he was back in charge again.  

With Gunther in charge, the fans are chanting Ole to try and get under his skin. Say what you want about WWE running here but these fans are knowledgeable.

This is great stuff, which shouldn't surprise anyone given who is in it.

Cody is trying to make a comeback.  He's up to his feet.  He has found his second wind.

The fans are now chanting Dusty as Cody got a two with a Cutter off of the second rope.

Gunther came back with a crab.  He went for a sleeper but Cody got to the ropes. Gunther tossed him and locked on the Sleeper in the middle of the ring.

The ref checked the arm. Cody still has life. He got out. Gunther went back for it again but Cody hit Crossroads.  Both men down.  The fans are loving it.

Gunther hit the powerbomb and leaned on Cody but he only got two.

Gunter was slapping Cody and it fired him up. They threw hands as Cody kept fighting from underneath. He got another two with a Crossroads.

Cody went for a Super Cutter from the top but jumped into the Sleeper. He managed to roll through and bridged through to pin Gunther. Gunther was mad at himself for leaving himself open.

Great match, very well booked. They worked their asses off and delivered a classic.

After the match Gunther waited in the ring and then shook Cody's hand.  Out came HHH to give Cody his bling belt.

The belts will stay in Saudi at the experience. Cody and Liv will get Super Bowl-like rings.

Strong show.  Thanks for reading!
