SECOND 7/15 WWE SMACKDOWN IN POUGHKEEPSIE, NY REPORT

By Mike Clocher on 2019-07-15 22:36:00

The place is pretty full but it doesn't look like a sell out.

Aliester Black vs Andrade.  Black is over big time.  Pretty straight forward match with Allstair hitting Black Mass for the win

AOP with Bo Dallas vs Chad Gable, Apollo Crews and Matt Hardy (HUGE pop).  Hardy with the Twist of Fate on Bo for the win.   AOP called for real competition and Heavy Machinery answered the call for our 3rd match of the night. The crowd loved that. Otis is over huge with his antics. Compactor by HM for the win.

Mandy Rose vs. Liv Morgan vs. Ember Moon vs Bayley Fatal 4 Way for the Women's title. Bayley pinned Mandy to retain.

Elias came out and did his thing. He's over pretty strong. Then the trombone interrupted him and the kids in the crowd went nuts. Xavier came out and did a duet of Knockin on Heaven's Door. Elias jumped Xavier and the ref ran the bell to start the match. Seeing Elias live is really entertaining.  He has a ton of charisma. Xavier with the top rope elbow for the win. New Day got a huge reaction from the kids. 

Elias got on the mic and ran down Poughkeepsie and New Day. Kevin Owens ran out and stunned him. 

The first match after intermission is Ali vs. Buddy Murphy. Ali hit a spinning DDT from the second rope for the pin.

Asuka (with Kairi Sane) vs. Billie Kaye (with Peyton Royce) is next. The Iconics got on the mic and ran down Poughkeepsie and the Mid Hudson Civic Center. I have no words for how annoying the IIconics' voices are live. That alone got them big HEAT. Asuka with a spinning kick for the win.

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Kofi Kingston is the main event. Trouble in Paradise for the win.

All in all a fun night my wife was extremely disappointed Roman, Finn, and Randy were all no shows but we had a good time anyway.
