WWE Live: SummerSlam Heatwave Tour at Madison Square Garden (Results)
July 18th, 2018 by chocko
Nia Jax and Rowdy Ronda Rousey at MSG
WWE house shows have always been special at Madison Square Garden…you never know what could happen. Almost a year ago at Madison Square Garden, a title was changed and a new champion was crowned when AJ Styles captured the U.S. Championship against Kevin Owens. The pro-wrestling event early in July was no different. With The Undertaker and Ronda Rousey on the card, that was enough to get people in the seats! Here are the results of the evening’s matches.
Results: 07.07.18 Madison Square Garden NYC
Bobby Lashley defeated Jinder Mahal
-a big moment in the match happened when Jinder took a swing at Lashley but accidentally clocked his Bollywood Boy, Sunil Singh
-no chance for Jinder after getting a jackhammer courtesy of Lashley
Cedric Alexander defeated Buddy Murphy to retain the Cruiserweight Championship
-technical skills were on display for one of the best matches of the night
-Buddy Murphy is one awesome heel. Definitely one to watch!
Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt defeated Titus Worldwide and The B-Team to retain the RAW Tag Team Championship
-The B-Team worked the crowd with their dance moves and comedy relief but ultimately the win went to Matt and Bray that night after Matt connected with the Twist of Fate and it was nighty night for Titus O’Neil.
Bayley, Natalya and Ember Moon defeated Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan and Alicia Fox
-The leader of the Riott Squad, Ruby Riott has been out due to injury so the Squad recruited Alicia Fox to square up against Bayley, Natalya and Ember Moon in her Madison Square Garden debut.
-Bayley was able to clamp on a Bayley to Belly on Liv Morgan which Morgan could not kick out of, so Good Night Irene!
Mojo Rawley defeated Bobby Roode
-Mojo, in a chorus of boo’s, jumped Roode even before The Glorious One could get his shiny robe off. Not cool, Mojo!
-Not a very glorious MSG debut for Roode, appeared to bust his knee on a bad landing and just couldn’t recover from the Mojo onslaught
Dolph Ziggler defeated Seth Rollins and Finn Balor to retain the Intercontinental Championship
-arguably the best match of the night with each wrestler at the top of their game…definitely a PPV level match. Intensity to the extreme.
-Drew McIntyre accompanied Ziggler to the ring and was ejected from ringside early in the fight only to sneak his way back for the assist which got Rollins pinned
-After the match which got at least two “This Is Awesome” chants, Balor landed the Coup de Grace on Drew McIntyre and Seth curb stomped Ziggler to the delight of the rabid audience
Lucha House Party defeated Drew Gulak, Jack Gallagher and Brian Kendrick
-Cruiserweights in the house! Lucha Party consists of members Kalisto, Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado
-super acrobatic match which got the luchadors the win after a furious double stunner and high flying elbow
Ronda Rousey defeated Nia Jax
-Alexa Bliss was originally scheduled to referee the match but brought out Mickie James to do the job while Bliss became the ringside Enforcer
-Rousey got a huge ovation with her recent induction to the UFC Hall Of Fame…she’s a crowd favorite and here to stay
-Nia is not an easy opponent to beat with her power moves and Mickie as a ref with her slow counts did not help Rousey in the the least bit
-after Nia and Ronda slapped Alexa and Mickie around a referee had to run in and stop the match after Nia tapped out from an armbar
The Undertaker, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman defeated Kevin Owens, Baron Corbin and Elias
-loud boo’s for Elias as he dissed the crowd and trashed NYC in his signature style
-tremendous ovation for The Undertaker…not many wrestlers can get a welcome like we saw that night at The Garden
-Braun started the match and Roman got tagged in for a prolonged beatdown at the hands of KO, Corbin and Elias
-Taker eventually got tagged in. The crowd went nuts and KO got choke slammed and tombstoned which got Taker’s team the victory
-after the match Braun and Roman got the handshake from The Undertaker, perhaps clearing the slate between the monsters and beasts.
