WWE made its annual trip to Rockford, IL for a house show last Sunday night (July 5th). The BMO Harris Bank Center (formerly the MetroCentre) played host for the card. A decent house show during a holiday weekend. Many families were in attendance. I brought my 13 year old nephew to his first WWE event.
JoJo was the ring announcer for the evening.
1. The Tag Team Champions The PrimeTime Players successfully defended their titles over the Ascension. A very good opening contest with the Players receiving a loud pop.
2. Fandango defeated Adam Rose. The crowd was mostly dead. Rose took some time ranting how bad of a town that Rockford is to visit. A few decent high spots but mostly a snoozer. Both men could be candidates to be future DREAMWAVE Wrestling special guests before the years is up.
3. Damien Mizdow and Axelmania won over Brad Maddox and Heath Slater. The Mega-Powers received a solid pop but the match wasn't too hot.
4. R-Truth rolled-up David Otunga. A decent match considering how weak the last two bouts were. R-Truth was over and took some selfies with the ringside fans afterwards.
5. Roman Reigns speared Bray Wyatt. One of the best matches of the night. Roman was so over with the crowd.
A brief 10-minute Intermission.
6. Natalya & Alicia Fox won over Summer Rae and Cameron with special guest referee Emma. Natalya received the biggest pop of all the Divas. Better then most diva matches.
7. The Intercontinental Champion Ryback defeated The Big Show and The Miz in a Triple-Threat match. Ryback received huge pops but all three individuals were respected by the crowd. Very good match.
8. WWE Champion Seth Rollins pinned Dean Ambrose in a Rockford Street Fight with the assist to Bray Wyatt. Reigns came afterwards to save his friend Ambrose. Excellent match.
A fun evening considering some major talent was in Japan for "The Beast in the East" event. RAW will be in Chicago tonight.
