- Cesaro vs Sheamus

Cesaro won with a sharpshooter, which is a nice little touch to makes things a bit different. They didn't make any announcement about this being part of the best of 7 series, so who knows if this was part of that.

- Neville vs Curtis Axel

Axel was a classic heel and played it well. Neville won with the Red Arrow.

- Braun Strowman vs Goldust

This match was actually kind of good. Goldust started strong and got a lot of offense in, including some brawling on the outside. Back in the ring, Braun gained control. He tried a kip up and one point and failed, which got a little chuckle from the crowd. Braun won with his bearhug. Ref only raised Goldust's arm once before deciding he was out.

- A video package played showing the recent tryouts that were held in China. The six new Chinese signings (five guys, one woman) then made their way into the ring and were introduced. Everyone was dressed very smartly, apart from one short, fat guy who was in a leather jacket, sunglasses and ripped jeans. He got cheered strongly. The Chinese fans in attendance seemed to know who one of the guys was. Only Chinese was spoken in this entire segment, so I don't know if anything else noteworthy happened.

- Tian Bin (Bin Wang) vs. Bo Dallas

Obviously, Bo played the heel, but was loved by a lot of the fans. There were several Bo-Lieve chants. Bin played his part well, and although it was clear that he's still very new to this, he sold well and was believable. His offense was basic - strikes, a suplex, and he finished Bo with a running powerslam. Bo stayed down for a long time and played to the crowd afterwards, standing up, giving his thumbs up pose, and then falling down again. It was very entertaining.

- WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day (Kofi & Xavier) vs Gallows & Anderson vs Shining Stars

Big E stayed on the outside, but remained one of the most entertaining parts of the match. I think he actually worked up more of a sweat from humping the ring than all of the guys wrestling did. It was a decent match, with the first few minutes spent playing to the crowd. New day were tossing their t-shirts to fans. Standard stuff. Eventually one of the Shining Stars got the last t-shirt and wiped their armpit with it - the first of two armpit spots in the night.

A few comedy spots in that match, and the crowd really enjoyed it. New Day got the win with a backbreaker/top rope double stomp combo. Francesca 2 also made her way to Shanghai. She was over.

- John Cena vs. Big Show

A ref was tightening the ropes before the match, a cue it was time for Big Show. I was shocked by the pop he got when his music hit. Show was pretty dominant for the most part. Towards the end, he had Cena in a chinlock or sleeper or something, and the ref raised Cena's arm three times to check on him. Cena obviously kept his arm up on the third time, and eventually gained enough momentum to hit an AA. The match was decent.

- Roman Reigns vs. Chris Jericho

Jericho was out next to a very loud reaction. He cut a promo for at least 3 or 4 minutes, calling people in the crowd stupid idiots, and denying being one himself. It was funny, Jericho is incredible right now. Reigns came out to face him, but Jericho refused to take off his scarf to start the match. He teased taking it off a few times, before Reigns got behind him and stole the scarf. He then put it on himself, and mocked Jericho's teasing actions. He wiped the scarf on his armpit before throwing it into Jericho's face. The ringside attendant then took the scarf away and held it like it was disease-ridden, which got a good laugh.

It was a good match. Jericho hit all his signature moves, and Roman hit a lot of punches and clotheslines. Somehow, a 'this is awesome' chant broke out. Eventually Roman hit his sit-out powerbomb - I think his only 'wrestling' move of the match. Reigns escaped a Walls of Jericho, hitting a spear for the finish.

- WWE Women's Champion Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks

Their match was up next. It was what you'd expect. Charlotte worked the back, Sasha made comebacks, and to avoid a clear and decisive win, Charlotte won with a roll-up, I believe.

- WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn vs. Seth Rollins

Great reactions for all. Owens wanted to be typical Owens by rolling out of the ring straight away to let the other two fight, but they lured him back in and started hammering him. They would pull one another off of Owens so they could have their turn to hit him - and that's how they established heat between Zayn and Rollins. They each wanted to beat up Owens so badly that they got annoyed when the other got in their way.

Rollins hit a couple of suicide dives, Sami hit his big tope dive, and there was a superplex/powerbomb tower spot that got a great crowd reaction. Owens hit a pop-up powerbomb for the finish.

The match was good, and Owens grabbed a mic afterwards. He said that he and Sami obviously had their differences, but they started together years ago, and now here they are main eventing for WWE in China. "We made it!", he said as he reached out his arm for a handshake from Zayn. As the two shook hands, the crowd cheered and applauded.

Then, the predictable boot in the gut from Owens, and a hook-up of Sami for a pedigree with a big grin on his face. Before he could hit it, Seth came in, grabbed him and hit a pedigree of his own on Owens. Owens went to the back as Rollins' music hit. Rollins left Sami alone in the ring, and the show ended with Sami playing to the crowd.
